The use of positive affirmations in New Age Thinking is in abundant practice. Our thoughts, either positive or negative, are in a sense an affirmation. These thoughts create and reinforce our beliefs. It is our belief system that creates our personality and makes us who we are. In order to grow and improve ourselves, we must change our limiting beliefs.
Once a person has questioned themselves through self introspection and identified areas in which to improve, then the repeated use of positive affirmations directed towards specific limiting beliefs is a powerful tool.You may ask, "What is a positive affirmation?" It is a positive statement, usually in the present tense. This statement is repeatedly expressed to yourself either silently or verbally spoken aloud. You can also practice affirmations by listening to prerecorded CD's and DVD's.There are several methods to intensify the affirmation process. An excellent method is to write the affirmation down repeatedly. By writing, you are also making a contract with yourself and this is very powerful.Another method is to say the affirmation forcefully out loud with passion. This bold verbalization reinforces the importance of your statement to the subconscious.
When using encouragement quotes to uplift your mood and spirit, it is important to choose ones that give you a physical "zing of good feeling" when you read them. Why? Because this is your emotional intelligence telling you that you will benefit greatly by having that positive motivational quote around you. Positive thinking quotes, positivity quotes and other positive sayings actually carry with them a positive energy. The stronger the "zing" you feel from your encouragement quotes, the stronger impact they can have on your energy.
TIP ONE: First, let's briefly discuss the importance of keeping quotes on positive thinking, hope quotes and other encouraging positive phrases around you. While it's been said for a long time that we are a product of our environment, many times we forget exactly how true this simple concept is when leading our daily lives where we are constantly bombarded with negativity. Just like a flower that is fed and watered with nutrients so it can bloom, so we must feed ourselves with positivity quotes, hope quotes, positive sayings and overall good quotes that offset the doom and gloom we absorb from today's media influences. To put it simply, if you put a white potato in a bowl of purple water, you're going to have a purple infused potato. So, if you put yourself in a "bowl of negative exposure daily," you're going to have a "negatively infused body, mind and spirit." One the other hand, if your purple water is a "bowl of positive exposure daily," you're going to have a "positively infused body, mind and spirit."
What do people like this have in common? They maintain a positive thought pattern. They never let there thoughts become negative. If something did not work they would figure out another way.If you find the works of Henry David Thoreau, you may like to look on the internet for some of his most positive sayings and quotes. I personally like the one below.So if you have not read a lot of positive sayings and quotes, this is a great time to start.As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
So, you'll want to make it easy to absorb your positive sayings, positivity quotes and overall good quotes in such a manner that you don't even see them. One of my favorite ways of doing this is to play them as subliminal messages over my stereo so my subconscious hears them all the time. Another way is to get some good positive thinking quotes on postcards or posters and hang them up on your walls so you're "physically infused with positivity" from all around you. Or, having a good screen saver on your computer that shows quotes on positive thinking all day long would be great too. My point is to find some way to "infuse yourself" enough to get fully saturated with hope quotes and positive attitude quotes so your energy "invisibly" shifts to being more positive.
