Understanding Affirmations

You may have heard a lot said about affirmations but may still be unsure of how affirmations work or know of their effectiveness. When used correctly, affirmations can be very powerful. In this article, we'll dig into some questions to better understand affirmations.

What are affirmations?

An affirmation is a positive statement or judgment. I'll break this down further to define affirmations as a combination of words used to express and give form to new seed thoughts. Words are powerful and are a more 'tangible' preview of our thoughts. Therefore, words are the beginning formation of our thoughts, becoming further crystallized by actions leading into materialization.

Who can use affirmations?

Everyone uses affirmations, whether consciously or not. Whatever one repeatedly affirms to oneself in thoughts, words or action will become one's reality, whether good or bad. Consciously choosing to use affirmations that will positively affect your life will be the wisest choice of application. 

How should one use affirmations?

Every thought, like seeds, contains within it the life it needs to grow and manifest itself when placed in the right environment. And words are the first visible signs before full materialization. Affirmations should be used to positively construct or reconstruct one's life on a conscious level by directing the energy of this word power to build the life you choose to live. 

Why should you use affirmations?

Affirmations should be used in order to sow new thought seeds in your life which, when nurtured, will produce a new harvest of your desire. Through affirmations, you create the mindset you need to transform your life from the inside out as you reprogram your subconscious mind.
