I am as bright
as the sun’s harsh rays
on days when all the world is a dark alley;
I am a lamp
which nothing dims,
which no wind quenches,
which no storm turns to receding flickers.
I am a lamp
which burns brightly;
a lily with the loveliest of scent,
I burn my best for myself,
and for others…
4. Positive Affirmations Only.
Repetition is powerful. The power of habits is in repetition. The power of practice also lies in repetition. We become what we eventually give ourselves to. We attract our confessions and they eventually shape us. Developing a habit of positive affirmations uplifts you and helps to boost your confidence. It empowers you to attract your deepest desires, and it enables you to adopt a healthier lifestyle, thereby alleviating stress. Positive affirmations help you attract what you want and not what you don’t want.
Positive affirmations are phrased and recited in the present tense, and they are a declaration of what you want to be true in your life as if it were already true. Here are a couple of them by meditation and attraction coaches all over the world curated by DailyBurn—an online health and fitness company. Saying them every day can seem a little bit daunting, but as always, practice goes a long way – constant practice, that is. The more you say them, the more you shape your reality to attract the things you want and need.
Stop being a critic and be a light; don't be a judge, be a model. I think we are far too critical. I think the best way to correct behaviour is to accentuate and affirm positive behaviour and to ignore negative behaviour. There is a time to correct, of course; but my biggest advice would be, 'Affirm your child.' — Sean Covey
To aid in your staying on track, it’s advised to use some sticky notes and to put them in places where you'll see them: on the mirror in the bathroom, on the screen of your computer, your wallet, car — wherever you find convenient to work for you. It’s imperative to always remind yourself to lavish words generously on yourself till it becomes habitual — a healthy addiction.?
I am love. I am purpose. I was made with divine intention.
I don’t sweat the small stuff.
I can. I will. End of story.
I am adventurous. I overcome fears by following my dreams.
I feed my spirit. I train my body. I focus my mind. It’s my time.
I oversee how I feel, and today I’m choosing happiness.
I am my own superhero.
I will not compare myself to strangers on the internet.
I am choosing and not waiting to be chosen.
I am enough.
I am whole.
I have the power to create change.
I let go of all that no longer serves me.
I can do all the things.
I refuse to give up because I haven’t tried all possible ways.
I deserve the best and I accept the best now.
I’m going to make you so proud.
My presence is my power.
5. Filter Your Thoughts and Channel Them the Right Way.
You've got to go with what feels instinctive and true to your heart and filter out all the other stuff.
— Alison Goldfrapp
In his book As a Man Thinketh, James Allen once quipped, “As a man thinks, so he is; as a man continues to think, so he remains.” One important observation you might have made is how easy it is for your mind to build myriads of overwhelming negative thoughts. They just never stop till you take the effort to stop them. The negative thoughts not only stress you out, but swirl a drama that restricts and traps you. Regularly exercising instead with a made-up elevating story that runs like a movie script with potent visualizations will come in handy. Build your story with a positive outline. It gets better the longer you tell yourself this story. More so, you should tweak the story to one where all your dreams come to fruition and all your goals are accomplished. The more you do this (each time with a different plot but all with the end goal of having all your dreams come true despite all odds), your dreams get internalized, as if they are something that you have already achieved.
Facing your fears can also help to direct your thoughts to the path of positivity. Fear is mostly what holds you back from your success. You loathe taking chances because you fear losing the security that you enjoy now. You try to convince yourself that you are happy in your current state when in fact, you are not. Your self-talk may sound positive in your attempt to lie to yourself. But somehow, there is an inner knowing that you are short changing yourself. Ask yourself what you are afraid of. What can be the worst that can happen? Take a step-by-step approach in breaking down your fears, and see if there is any way of looking at things more positively. When you confront your fears, you will often realize that the worst-case scenario is not as bad as you think. In fact, the benefits of change are worth the risk. Your inner talk begins to change at this point.
6. Believe You Will Succeed.
To believe you’d succeed is to be halfway there. When we set up a goal, it’s because we want to change something. We don’t just do something for no reason; it’s because we want to get somewhere. It takes a key understanding to achieve success, and that is the ability to believe that you can. It may sound like an obvious statement, but it’s shocking to find people who aren’t able to reach their targets because of a lack of convincing belief in self. If you truly understand that success is attainable, it will become so. Success is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Many quit because they feel they’d never be able to achieve what they want.
Success means personal prosperity: a fine home, vacations, travel, new things, financial security, giving your children maximum advantages. Success means winning admiration, leadership, being looked up to by people in your business and social life. Success means freedom: freedom from worries, fears, frustrations, and failure. Success means self-respect, continually finding more real happiness and satisfaction from life, being able to do more for those who depend on you. Success means winning and it is the goal of life!
A lot of people give up because they feel inadequate and perceive themselves as lacking in comparison to others. It takes a realization to know that you can and it takes a mindset makeover to achieve whatever you set your heart on to achieve. The way we see ourselves and how we think of ourselves can create a huge impact on what we do. And when you are on the path to success, some people will tear you down. But if we strongly believe in our success, then all those discouraging words will not affect us.
Believe that you will succeed, and you will.
— Dale Carnegie
