HEALTHY LIVING RESULTS

When setting goals and desiring certain changes in your life you may find it easier said than actually achieving those goals, or making the changes happen. The right attitude, determination and some tools for the job make this an easier accomplishment. One very powerful tool is daily affirmations when making changes in your life. By instilling daily affirmations, those changes will provide you with a more positive and empowering experience.

What is an Affirmation?

In many ways an affirmation is the opposite of a complaint. An example of this could be a complaint of, “I’m always so tired.” The opposite, the affirmation could be, “I’m full of energy, awake, and alive.”

The goals we have and the changes we desire are represented by affirmations. It’s important to state them positively and in the present tense. There are no rules to follow concerning the appropriateness of any affirmation; it could be material, spiritual or a combination of both types.

Some of us have the simple desire to be happy. While we want to embrace well-being, we realize how elusive it may be. Being tested by our day to day difficulties and challenges, not to mention our habits which have become deeply instilled within us, it is possible to achieve the opposite result instead. The path we follow to reach our goal of general happiness and well-being can be approached with ease when daily affirmations become part of our journey. You will find here a few affirmations extracted from the Ernest Holmes book, The Science of Mind, originally published in 1926. .

- I am happy and complete today and forever. Within me is that which is Perfect and Complete. It is The Spirit of all Life, Truth, and Action. I am happy in the sure knowledge of the Inner Light. I cannot be sad nor sorry, but must radiate Joy and Life, For Life is within me now. I am happy and complete.

- Perfection is already accomplished. I do not have to wait for the Perfect Life. I am that Perfect Life here and now. Today I express the Limitless Life of the All Good. Today I manifest my Completion in every part of me. Today I am saved. Here and now I am healed.

Affirmations don’t have to be longwinded paragraphs, they can be simple sentences designed to inspire and uplift. For example,

- I am entirely happy in mind, spirit and body.

- I am radiant, happy and healthy.

- I am a being of radiance filled with light and love.

- I accept and love myself just as I am.

- I now express love to all those I meet.

Creating Personal Affirmations

What exactly do you want from life? Needless to say, this might be difficult to fathom for many people. Should this be your personal situation, simply ask yourself what it is you don’t want, followed by the opposite of this to create your personal affirmation. It will sound something like, “I don’t want to be affected by stress when at the workplace.” The affirmation will become, “I feel at peace at all times no matter the circumstances around me, or what challenges I face. I know God will provide for my every need.”

Be sure to phrase your affirmations positively and in the present tense. Once you have your affirmation or affirmations, post them somewhere you will see them often. Suggestions include your bathroom mirror, your laptop or planner, or your journal. Repeat your affirmations at least three times a day and certainly when you’re feeling particularly challenged. Eventually you’ll have your affirmations memorized and repeating them will become second nature.

Daily affirmations designed to embrace and bring about a sense of well being and happiness is a terrific way to initiate the affirmation process. Once you have the ball rolling, consider tracking your affirmations and the changes in your life as a result. This will help you embrace the practice and to evaluate what other areas of your life might benefit from daily affirmations.

It’s a common occurrence for us to use our body in order to identify ourselves. We use labels such as tall, short, thin, muscular, curvy, healthy, and unhealthy and so on. There are very few people who are able to take that step outside of a particular definition and consider our body as what it is in reality - a blessed vehicle carrying us through times of joy, troubles, victory and challenges.

Rather than define it and let that definition rule how you treat your body, because really you are much more than tall or short, thin or curvy, why not take supreme care of it. Why not treat it as the wonderful vehicle it is?

There is a common metaphor often used when discussing the human body and it just happens to be a car. Both being vehicles we depend on to get us where we need to go, properly taken care of they can both be counted on and reliable in their own way.

How Do You Care For Your Car And How Do You Care For Your Body?

Often our cars receive better treatment than we do our very own bodies. From premium gas (no matter how much more expensive it is) to the scheduled cleaning on a regular basis, our automobiles are living the good life so to speak. Meanwhile, we are filling our bodies with junk food lacking in nutritional value, as well as not taking the time or money for basic care for our body and soul.

When our body gives us nudges such as pings and knocks and other loud, unavoidable signals when something is required, we tend to ignore it. However, the slightest sniffle or shimmy coming from underneath the hood of the car sends us immediately to our mechanic for diagnosis and treatment.

“But it’s dangerous to ignore these sounds from your car.” This is in fact true, squealing brakes and grinding noises from the rear end of your car could cause an accident. The sounds and signals from your body are just as important to pay attention to.

Instead of continuing to follow this path, appreciate whatever shape, form and situation your body is in. It has taken you where you have needed to go, and so far hasn’t let you down. Embrace your healthy whole body as of right now, because while you are much more than your body itself, you just can’t exist and experience life without it.

Some Questions to Consider:

Your car may start to spat and sputter, becoming unable to run or take you where you need to go if you don’t use the right grade of fuel. Are you using the best fuel possible? Drinking more water and replacing those empty calories with appropriate nutrients will feed your body properly so your body will take you far.

Are you noticing the check engine light shining at you from the dashboard? This is self care we are talking about here. It doesn’t have to be massages twice a week or expensive spa weekends four times a year, but if you can afford it, by all means, enjoy! If this isn’t a possibility, go for a walk, enjoy a bubble bath in candle light, schedule a family game night - there are many fantastic ways to take a step back to enjoy your life, find a balance and take care of the signals your body is shouting at you to be recognized.

Taking care of yourself in any possible way you can just makes sense. You know you can do it now and schedule regular maintenance instead of waiting until the car breaks down completely and needs more repairs. Follow up right away when you hear that first sign of a rattle, a skip in the transmission when you change gears, or the wipers only clear the bottom half of the windshield.

Last but not least, when you find the tread wearing thin on your tires, you replace them right? Each of us needs to take time out to evaluate the steady running of our lives, where we are and where we want to be. It’s normal for our needs change over time and ignoring these changing needs results in us ignoring who we really are - and this is not good for our health or our happiness.

So remember, the next time you stop for gas or wash your car, take a moment to step back and think how you wouldn’t be able to complete any of these tasks without the divine vehicle you live in - your body. Take care of it, pamper it; it’s the only one you’re going to get.

A lot of people think there is really no truth at all to the power of the Law of Attraction. These people need to be aware that even though they don’t believe, the Law of Attraction is affecting their life and quite possibly the reason for the negativity in their life.

There is a scientific truth to the idea that our brain emits vibrational frequencies. The Universe responds to your brain’s frequencies by bringing into your life the things you are most focused on in your thoughts. The things that you are in tune with are the things you get in your life.

There is a difference between the negative emotions you send out into the Universe like worry, fear and stress about not having enough money and the positive emotions others send out into the universe of appreciation and love. The more you send out the negative emotions the more problems you will have with money.
