Affirmation is Not a 4 letter word

What’s a belief? Its not the gospel truth spoken from above. It’s a thought you keep thinking over and over.  We have deep beliefs that we think are a part of our being. But they seem like that because we’ve heard those thoughts so many times as we were growing up that we don’t realize they came from outside of us. That’s why they can be so destructive 

Affirmations have gotten a bad reputation.  That’s primarily because people aren’t using them correctly. 

Affirmations aren’t magic spells — they’re mental alignment tools.

ultimately, you don’t get what you want — you get what you believe.

And affirmations help you believe in yourself.

affirmations only work when they feel true enough to believe.

If you don’t believe, “I’m a millionaire,” your brain rejects it.

But it can believe, “I’m learning to manage money with confidence.”

That’s how you bridge from where you are to where you want to be.

your subconscious doesn’t know the difference between a joke and a command. It listens—and it believes you.

An affirmation is simply a statement you repeat that reinforces a belief you want to grow.

Neuroscience even shows that repetition of positive statements can rewire neural pathways—literally training your brain to expect better outcomes and act accordingly.

Think of it as mental exercise. Just as muscles strengthen with repetition, beliefs do too.

How to Create a Powerful Affirmation

1. Start with “I am” or “I’m becoming” — it brings the idea into the present moment.

2. Make it emotionally charged — “I am calm and centered no matter what happens” feels better than “I’m not stressed.”

3. Keep it simple and believable — if it’s too far-fetched, your subconscious won’t buy in.

4. Focus on what you want, not what you don’t want.

Say, “I’m attracting supportive people,” not “I’m done with toxic relationships.”

 

Then

• Repeat them daily — multiple times a day — consistency is key.

• Say them out loud with feeling — your voice adds energy.

• Write them down — journaling reinforces them visually.

• And most importantly: act as if they’re already true. Your behavior begins to align with your words.

Daily Gratitude

Daily Gratitude: Many of us probably need to read this quote several times and then several times each day.

How do you love yourself? Or do you even know you love yourself? I bet it’s a foreign concept to a lot of you. Use how you take compliments as an example. When someone says something nice to you about you do you say thank you or do you dismiss it and say things like “thats not true” or “I’m not as nice as you say” or “it wasn’t that good” and on and on. Do you realize you’re demeaning the other person and saying their opinion sucks and “couldn’t possibly be correct?” How do you feel when someone does that to you?

How are you taking care of your health? Are you taking care of it? Isn’t that a form of loving yourself?

What other things do you think go into loving yourself? How do you want to be seen?

Write all this stuff down and then look at it. Can you see where you can improve so that others see how you want to be loved? If not, what can you change ?

Daily Gratitude

Daily Gratitude: Have you ever taken stock of your life and what you are doing with it? Are you building souls or are you working on the “monuments”? That’s figurative of course but it’s an important concept.

Material things are important but helping to grow someone’s values is an even greater responsibility. It’s a responsibility not just to that person but to society too.

Whatever core beliefs and values you instill or foster in someone will be with that person forever. Therefore, those values and beliefs will affect so many other people – way beyond your reach.

Take some time to look at how you are running your life. What is important to you? How important are the people who work for and with you? How are you interacting with them? What are you offering them? What are your goals for them? In What direction do you want to see them grow?

Ask these and many more questions to determine where your focus is. Fix what needs to be fixed and grow as you want your colleagues and employees to grow.
