Those Good Thoughts

I wanted to write about affirmations. I think positive self talk is very important. I believe it’s very common for us as human beings to bully ourselves, to be negative in general. It makes sense, especially with all the content we take in everyday. Life has lost it softness, we see a lot of the rough side of life therefore our thoughts have become rougher too. I don’t pretend to know what it was like 100 years ago but I do know how current content effects me. As an empath I do feel things very deeply and I do know I am not the only one, I have quite a few people in my circle who are empaths too. That is why I try to encourage people to use affirmations, it slowly trains the brain into thinking more positively. The more positive our thoughts, the better we feel, the more likely we will attain a peaceful life.

I find that affirmations can be very personal, like a fragrance or shoes. You need to try a few on, see how it feels, does it stick?
One affirmation that has stuck with me for the past ten or so years has been All Is Well In My World. (You can try it on if you’d like.)
When I was in a slump a few years ago and I was highly paranoid I used a rather simple affirmation and it helped me so much. I Am Safe, All Is Well In My World.

I like to make up my own affirmations but it can be nice to get some guidance. One of my favorite teachers is Louise Hay, (I highly recommend her book You Can Heal Your Life.) her affirmations are amazing! She writes out affirmations which can be used to heal certain issues you may have, like anxiety or headaches.

Affirmations are such a powerful tool to use, I do believe that positive self talk can change your life. Even if you just start by looking in the mirror everyday and saying “I feel wonderful.” Say it with feeling and even if you don’t believe it right now, I am sure after a while of doing this you will start to believe it and as a result you will feel wonderful! 🙂

I hope you are all keeping well out there! I am sending everyone good vibes!

Until next time,

Namaste.
