Inner Affirmations Part 4: All About Affirmations

When you hear the word affirmation,

Concepts like self-empowerment,

Positive thinking probably come to mind.

Wikipedia suggests that an affirmation is a statement that is repeated and written down frequently.

Affirmations,

To put it simply,

Are statements of belief.

Affirmations have been used throughout history in prayers and rituals found in different cultures.

In 1910,

Wallace D.

Wattles helped to popularize the use of affirmations in his book,

The Science of Rich.

The book was successful at the time.

It's still in print today because of its widespread influence on spiritual movements.

Books like The Secret and other schools of thought.

Wattles developed a certain way of thinking which included self-affirmations to create a state of mental positivity.

And what he and countless others have found is that repeated positive statements have a,

Sometimes surprising,

Influence on underlying negative beliefs.

Throughout the years,

People have transformed their mindset by replacing cynical thoughts with more constructive statements of belief.

Those who wanted to overcome self-sabotage and a pessimistic outlook on life saw improvement when they used affirmations.

Affirmative statements encourage us.

They can help to anchor us in times of struggle or extreme anxiety.

People use affirmations for all sorts of reasons,

But with one consistent goal.

To create a reality that's happier,

More fulfilling,

And more successful than what we've previously believed to be possible.

Millions have been using affirmations to think more positively since the 1910s.

Affirmation statements are found frequently in self-care practices,

Social media memes,

And modern spirituality.

Affirmations aren't just a trend and research shows us that they're highly effective when approached the right way.

So pause for a moment before you move on.
