How do I know if I am using positive or negative affirmations?

You will know because of the way you feel. Your words and thoughts affect how you feel about yourself or any given situation. It has been proven that nearly 90% of our thoughts are negative and each negative thought or word is a negative affirmation. For most people, it's easier to accept a negative affirmation than a positive. These negative thoughts support and validate our negative internal beliefs. E.G. I am fat, I am always sick, I am so unhealthy...

List between 4-6 positive present tense affirmations.

What do I do with my affirmations?

Post your affirmations in your bathroom, bedroom, on your desk, anywhere! Look at these affirmations and read them aloud to yourself everyday. Memorize and visualise each affirmation as it pertains to your existence, repeat them in the morning in front of the mirror and the evening before bed. The more you do this, the more you will begin to believe they are true. Have you ever told a story and added a little extra each time, soon after you could no longer remember the old story or what was really true. This is the same with affirmations. After a while, you will believe what you are telling yourself.
