Each day we are faced with many decisions and temptations. Whether to skip the gym in order to take care of personal responsibilities, how to resist a favorite dessert at a family gathering, when to say no to alcoholic beverages, the list goes on and on. Making the best choices for these challenges can be troubling, but with positive affirmations the decision to do what is best for your body will always be an easy one to choose.
Affirmations are a positive way to affirm your beliefs and resolve to make positive changes in your life. Affirmations have a power all of their own because they help your brain to focus on your goals. Positive self-talk that declares an action is already taking place. Affirmations super charge the brain and make the connection between body, mind and soul. When you focus on positive thoughts and actions, your brain picks up on these thoughts and sets about a path to make them happen.
Positive thoughts and possessing a positive attitude are the weapons needed to conquer negative thoughts and the damage that a negative attitude can have. Negativity is like a weed that grows rapidly to choke out the light and air from all living things around it. If not conquered, it can grow out of control.
Write down your affirmations and repeat them to yourself. Standing in front of a mirror will bring you face to face with yourself. Look deep into your eyes and repeat your affirmations with conviction. Remember to stick to the positive and stay away from the negative. Your mind has a tendency to take the easy road, so instead of saying I will lose weight, concentrate on being thin and skinny. Focus on the positive and train your brain to do your bidding.
Keep in mind that your daily affirmations are for the present day only. Concentrate on the day at hand and don’t try to project too far into the future. Dieting and weight loss are a day-by-day challenge, focus on each day, be thankful for your achievements and do all that you can to attain success today.
Repeating your daily affirmations helps to supercharge your mind to follow the healthy lifestyle plan. By doing this everyday at approximately the same time each day will soon become a habit that your mind, body and spirit will crave. Use this time for positive thoughts, pushing out any negativity that tries to invade this process.
