Affirmations

In this post i'm gonna write a little bit about affirmations. I'm going to explain what it means to affirmate, and how you can use affirmations in your daily life to improve your mental attitude and health. I've only had positive experiences since i first started using affirmations myself. I wrote a littlebit about affirmations in my last blog post, but i want to explain some more and go a little deeper.

Affirmations can be an important tool to change your thought patterns and your reality to manifest the change you want in your life. 

 Every thought you have is a confirmation, whether it's negative or positive. Imagine that you look yourself in the mirror. You can either affirmate "I look good," or you can affirmate "I look terrible", both are affirmations, the only difference is that the first is positive. What you affirmeate on a daily basis creates your reality, whether on a conscious or on a unconscious level. Affirmations can be a very powerful tool. Practised on a daily basis you can change your life and your own mental attitude and how you feel about yourself.

What i mean with saying that what you affirmate daily creates your reality, I mean that what you daily confirm to yourself becomes your reality. You confirm something and then make it a fact!

For example, if you have the habit of saying to yourself  "I' always have bad luck." What happens then is that you convience yourself that the reality is that you always have bad luck, because your subconscious mind has confirmed it by thinking it, and therefor created this reality. And It will not change unless you change the thought patterns that have created this reality.

Maybe after reading this you're questioning how i can speak about reality and you're sceptic about if i even know what i'm talking about. Let's just clear that up before we go further. What is reality?? Do we all have the same reality? No we don't, we all have our own reality and our own personal perception of the world. Offcourse there are some facts that we all can agree on, like forexample that the sky is blue or that a zebra is called a zebra. But we all live in different realities. Some people not just only believes in god, they know he exists, and other people know that he does not exist, so we do have different realities. And offcourse, there is nothing wrong with that. That what's so fantastic, we can all choose what reality we want to live in.

In this post i'm talking about affirmations and that your own thoughts can create your reality. How is that possible? How can you change your reality with thoughts? Think about it. If your reality is that you are ugly or that you are not good enough..is that the reality? Or could it be your thoughts? It's your perception and understanding of reality based on your thoughts. 

Speaking on a energy level.; your thoughts and emotions are energy which are a result of your beliefs and personal perceptions of your reality. They are broadcast and sendt outward into the infinite field of "wave" energy and vibrate on a certain level.

Just like a radio sends out radio waves. The radio converts these electromagnetic waves, called a signal, into sound. And your thoughts and feelings vibrates at a certain level that shapes your reality. You can tune your radio on a certain frequency to listen to the radio channel you want to, and you can tune your thoughts to experience the reality that you want to.

Even our brain operates at different energy frequencies;

I also want to mention psycosymatic pain.  A psycosymatic pain is where the physical and the mental meet. A  physical illness has underlying psychological roots. Certain thought patterns and emotions about life can manifest as pain in the body. There is many books on the market today to help you determine what thought pattern created the spesific pain. Forexample stomach pain is related to fears. I want to suggest a great book if you are interested in learning more, it's a great tool to get started on healping yourself. The book is written by Louise L. Hay and it's called "You can heal your life"

You can use affirmations in all areas of your life. Health, confidence, relationships, etc. There are no limitations:) You can create your own affirmations, or you can buy a book to help you get started. I want to quote some of my favorite affirmations.

1. " I am free to be myself, and I give others the freedom to be who they are ".- Louise Hay

2. " I love and accept myself" - Louise Hay

3. " Life is simple and easy." - Louise Hay

If you stumble upon your old thought patterns while trying to think positive, i would advice you to not push those thoughts away and continue with the positive thinking. But to accept the negative thought patterns as a part of the process. We always need to accept to be able to let go. If we deny ourselves ( both our emotions and thoughts)  it will only keep the ball roling and we will meet our problem again and again.
