Create Positive Thoughts by Using Affirmations
The technique of writing and repeating affirmations has been said to institute a positive mental attitude resulting in measurable change. An affirmation is a posi- tive, present day statement that assumes what one declares is real and present. The more an affirma- tion is practiced, the mind has a greater the level of acceptance of that thought. Positive think- ing experts, such as Louise Hay, Michael Beckwith, James Arthur Ray, Catherine Ponder, Norman Vincent Peale, Napoleon Hill, and John Randolph Price advocated the use of affirmations to both reprogram the brain by repetition and maintaining present moment centeredness. The desired result is to manifest new and positive circumstances.
Since an affirmation declares one’s state of mind and expectation, it acknowledges to the mind and body a present-day reality. An example of an affirmation is the following: “I am filled with wonder and I now manifest prosperity and abundance in every aspect of my life. I use the creative genius of the universe in all I do. I am successful, healthy, and live life well. This day I have the power to change myself.”
Affirmations are a spiritual idea, and non-quantitative. They are based upon “as within, so with- out, as above so below” which is an idea, or universal presented in many religious works, including the Bible. If thought attracts, or resonates, with like energies, than any individual practicing positive thinking can eventu- ally see results externally in the form of a better job, more loving relationships, or even satisfying experiences.
