My False Self voice seems to be working overtime these days. I’ve been having to put more energy than what is typical for me into returning my thoughts into alignment with my Soul. The quickest and most effective way that I have been returning to alignment is through creating, reciting, and embodying personal affirmations. When my ego wants to convince me I am incapable and unworthy of what I desire, these affirmations allow my soul to speak to who I truly am – capable, brave, and worthy of all miracles.
What is an Affirmation?
Affirmations are words or phrases repeated intentionally which help you focus your mind in order to generate a specific feeling or vibration in your body. You may already be doing this in an unconscious way by allowing negative thoughts to continue on a mental tape loop which create constricting feelings and emotions in your body. By bringing awareness and intention to the repeating thoughts in your mind, you reclaim your power to generate positive, expansive feelings and emotions in your body.
Creating Your Personal Affirmations
When creating your personal affirmations, remember the 3P’s; Positive, Present, and Palpable. These are key to creating the most effective affirmations to access the innermost wisdom of your soul
- Positive: always create from a place of abundance, not from lacking or scarcity
- YES: “I have excess money to save and share”
- NO: “I no longer have debt”
- Present: always speak in the present tense as if it were already true
- YES: “I have time for everything that is important to me each day”
- NO: “I will have enough time once I finish school”
- Palpable: focus on the feeling generated in your body as if it were already true
- Notice how your body changes the longer you focus and embody the words you are speaking
