How to Write and Use Your Affirmations

In Affirmations by Chris A. Parker

You are what you think. Thoughts have the power to create. You are the architect of your life. These statements make up a three-part dose of wisdom often dished out by psychology, theology, and modern spiritual sciences in total agreement.

Affirmations are the passageways in which thoughts become words, and words turn into actions, intentions, and outcomes.

To be a master of life, one must learn how to create affirmations and how to use them for the best outcomes. It goes back to the story of creation; the world was authored by commands. Such is the power of words. The right affirmations involve speaking only words that cultivate and motivate the highest good.

To higher psychological extents affirmations reprogram our minds. They are an excellent detox for the mind, helping to restructure our thinking so that we believe that nothing is impossible.

The short explanation is that affirmations are the science behind faith. (For more, read our article How to Use Affirmations for Your Best Benefit)

How to think and write a better life

Affirmations strengthen our belief in the potential for something that we desire to happen. It is emotional, physical and spiritual reassurance. When you verbally affirm your dreams and desires, you set in motion invisible forces that cause the needed outcomes to manifest in our visible world.

Writing the right affirmations is the first step towards self-improvement. These thoughts of belief and self-assurance always help to reprogram our brains. The statements raise our spirits. Affirmations birth self-confidence. They break cycles of negative thoughts, speech, and actions.

Affirmations for confidence

To write affirmations for self-confidence, start by “noting down the negative qualities” about yourself. These could be from your negative thoughts or the negative criticisms made against you by others.

Don’t start questioning the truth or accuracy in them; write them down. These negative qualities will form a basis for positive themes.

Now that you have exhausted the negative qualities, you can start reversing them into positive affirmations. For instance, “I’m weak and unworthy” turns into “I’m strong and remarkable.” “I’m incompetent” turns to “I’m competent and smart.”

Say the affirmations aloud every day. For best results, experts recommend saying them for at least five minutes every morning, afternoon and evening. While at work, you can strengthen your confidence and conviction by writing these affirmations several times over in a notebook.
