Life Coaching - Healing through Affirmations

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.” – Buddha

Its a quote and philosophy almost as old as time, that the way you think affects the way you feel and consequently the way you feel affects you actions and the life you create for yourself.

One amazing tool that is super easy to use and I believe can help you to reprogram your mind and in time change the way you think and feel about yourself is to do daily affirmations.

An affirmation is the process of affirming something to yourself or to others and they can be used as a way to heal yourself of different anxieties and problems that you have in your life, physically, emotionally even unconsciously.

I have now been doing affirmations for around two years now, and I have found them incredibly helpful. The process of affirmations can start with guided meditations. There are so many available to you now on social media platforms and one of my all time favourites is Deepak Chopra "The Secret to Healing" which can be found on YouTube.

Affirmation can be super small or really long its up to you. Longer affirmations are usually called mantras rather than affirmations but the process and effect is the same.

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.” – Henry Ford

The process of daily affirmations can make you feel more positive about yourself and as the law of attraction is based on the energetic frequency you put out into the world, the more positive you are the more positive you will create in your life.

You can research your own affirmations if yo are unsure about what to say or you can begin to write you own. If you are writing your own start each affirmations with "I am" is a great way to affirm to yourself that you already possess the quality/characteristic/status you desire. It is also a good idea to visualise yourself really feeling this affirmation as attaching strong emotions to your words will intensity the neuro-programming that is taking place in the brain.

Here are a few of the affirmations I have written for myself that I really love. I say these often before and after my meditation and I am happy for you to use them to!
