You Can Heal Your Life With Positive Affirmations

We are each 100% responsible for all of our experiences. Every thought we think is creating our future. The point of power is always in the present moment. Everyone suffers from self-hatred, guilt and resentment which are very damaging patterns. Releasing resentment will dissolve even cancer. We must release the past and forgive everyone. We must be willing to begin to learn to love ourselves. Self-approval and self-acceptance in the now are the key to positive changes. Put another way, our subconscious mind accepts whatever we choose to believe. They both mean that what I believe about myself and my life becomes true for me. What you choose to think about yourself and life becomes true for you. We have unlimited choices about what we can think. When we know this, then it makes sense to choose “Everyone is always helpful” rather than “People are out to get me”.

Whenever we are ill we need to search our hearts to see who it is we need to forgive. Forgiveness means giving up and letting go. It has nothing to do with condoning behaviour. It’s just letting the whole thing go. We do not have to know HOW to forgive. All we need is to be WILLING to forgive. The Universe will take care of the “how’s”. People have a lot of problems – it could be poor health, lack of money, unfulfilling relationships, or stifled creativity – whatever the issue is can only be resolved or dissolved with LOVING the self. I find that when we really love and accept and APPROVE of ourselves exactly as we are, then everything in life works. It’s as if little miracles are everywhere. Our health improves, we attract more money, our relationships become much more fulfilling, and we express ourselves in creatively fulfilling ways. All this seems to happen without our even trying. Self-approval and self-acceptance in the now are the main keys to positive changes in every area of our lives. We must however first address the issues that caused us to feel that we could not have self-approval or self-acceptance and that all goes back to our beliefs. Whatever we believe becomes true for us. If you have a sudden financial disaster, then on some level you may believe you are unworthy of being comfortable with money, or you believe in burdens and debt. Or if you believe that nothing good ever lasts, do you believe that life is out to get you or “I just can’t win”. If you seem unable to attract a relationship, you may believe “Nobody loves me” or “I am unlovable”. Perhaps you fear being dominated as your mother was or you think “People just hurt me”. If you have poor health you may believe “Illness runs in our family” or even “I was born to suffer” or “It’s just one thing after another”. Perhaps you are not even aware of your belief. Many people are not, they just see their outer circumstances as being the way the cookie crumbles. Until you realise the connection between the outer experiences and the inner thoughts, you remain a victim for life.

PROBLEM                                                                                            BELIEF

Financial disaster                                                                              I am not worthy of having money

No friends                                                                                           Nobody loves me

Problems with work                                                                       I’m not good enough

Always pleasing others                                                                  I never get my way

Whatever the problem is, it comes from a thought pattern, and thought patterns can be changed! Ask yourself “What kinds of thoughts am I having that create this?”. If you allow yourself to sit quietly and ask this question, your inner intelligence will show you the answer.

Are you one of the many people who will get up in the morning, see that it is raining, and say “Oh, what a lousy day!” It is NOT a lousy day. It is only a wet day. If we wear the appropriate clothing and change our attitude, we can have a lot of rainy day fun. If it is really our belief that rainy days are lousy days, then we will always greet rain with a sinking heart. We will fight the day rather than flow with what is happening in the moment. If we want a joyous life, we must think joyous thoughts. If we want a prosperous life, we must think prosperous thoughts. If we want a loving life, we must think loving thoughts. Whatever we send out mentally or verbally will come back to us in like form.

The point of power is always in the present moment. It does not matter how long we have had a negative pattern or an illness or a poor relationship or lack of finances or self-hatred. We can begin to make a shift today! What you are now choosing to believe and think and say will create the next moment and the next day and the next month and the next year. You are the power in your world! You get to have whatever you choose to think.

Stop for a moment and catch your thought. What are you thinking right now? If it is true that your thoughts shape your life, would you want what you were just thinking right now to become true for you? If it’s a thought of worry or anger or hurt or revenge or fear, how do you think this thought will come back to you? If you find yourself expressing negative words of any sort, stop in midsentence, either rephrase the sentence of just drop it. You could even say to it “Out”.

To change your beliefs use positive affirmations daily. Say them over to yourself whenever you can. Even write them out ten times at night before going to bed. You will note a remarkable shift.  Some examples of affirmations you could use:

I am healthy.

I am healed.

I am loved.

I am wealthy.

I am extremely successful.
