1. no,no,no lol2. what are affirmations?, can you elaborate?, I am interested.
3. yes. I do because i have seen mean and words that tear down destroy people.
I try to build someone up sincerely each day. I should practice it more.
4. Certainly. I have used them many times, in the most difficult of times, when all human help had failed. It seemed like God Himself responded!
5. No. Positive action changes your life. If positive affirmations are good for anything at all it is a precursor to positive action.
6. Yes I have. With my children most of the time. It builds good self esteem. And they learn to be confident in themselves. It also reassures them that I am at "their" side.
With children it works better because they haven't "made up" who they are yet. They need others to tell them what are they capable of and why!
But it sometimes works very good with moody people too
7. I have used affirmations for 40 years and yes they can change your life.
One out of hundreds was how I got my husband nr 2. I was in a bad marriage for 17 years and started my affirmations to have a great marriage. In my mind I thought we could make a change and it would all be peaches and cream. The affirmations were daily, written or in mind ,about 2 months after I started we split and I was broken hearted. I thought affirmations were for the birds. Somehow I repeated the same hoping that there would be a reconciliation. There was n't , but within months I met a great man and we have been married for 37 years. The affirmation came through I have a great marriage!
This is only one example of hundreds. We, as a household, affirm our good health , our daily needs being met and on and on.
8. Yes....Being positive is uplifting....Being negative brings you down..
I need to find some positive affirmations in my life, because right now, I am so depressed and having a lot of negative thoughts...I need to be around more positive people....
9. Yes definately, your expections, your self-esteem, the deep belief that a person has inside shows on the outside. Just as a cup of strawberry, if it was to overflow it would show on the outside of the cup and there would be no mistaking that it was strawberry. Look at a persons face, yes we cannot help our features but our thoughts influence our emotions and create our characteristic lines. Some smiles radiate warmth and happiness while others lack that luster. It all comes from a mindset that starts on the way a person thinks. Keep the motivational people in your life, work on accomplishing things daily, focus and act and see how your life transforms. Success equals many little acts (steps) done over a long period of time. I myself am a work in progress. I believe that I deserve the best in life as that is what I work for, I have seen the changes in how I interview and develop rapport with persons. :D
10. Absolutely!
* Along with reminding myself of all that I'm grateful for, I say my affirmations every morning to start of the day.
* I've created affirmations cards that reflect back into my car window while I'm driving.
* I've constomized a Yahoo widget to randomly flash affirmations I wish to focus on while on the computer.
* Finally I use a program every night before going to bed that plays affirmations to appropriate background music.
The results over the years have been absolutely incredible.
* During tough financial times, creative solutions, key people and/or opportunities have shown up in my life and prosperity has followed.
* I"ve lost 60 lbs and haven't been sick once in the last three years ... this after being in the hospital three times in one year, almost dying one of those times.
* I'm blessed with a wonderful family and many very special friends.
There are more examples but I think you get the idea.
In short, the power of thoughts and words are undeniable and affirmations are one of the best techniques to develop and maintain a healthy, positive attitude & self image that can only manifest itself in one way, through your actions and results.
11. I use it and see good results every day
12. YES YES YES & YES!!!! results' WONDERFUL!
13. Yes by telling yourself that you can do something and it will happen. If you don't believe in yourself, how can you expect others to believe in you?
14. Affirmations are positive routes to thinking, but they have to be followed up with positive actions to work.
15. They really do work ; but you must use them to achieve success with them. It's like telling yourself you can't do something , and then finally you just accept that you can't do it . What your mind can conceive and believe , you will; achieve . Positive affirmations CAN change your life .I use them all the time . Sometimes it's amazing ; almost like self-hypnosis if you use it daily .
16. I believe they can AFFECT your life for as long as you think about them and try to use them in your life. Unfortunately, it's often too easy to go back to a former, more comfortable routine.
I have three affirmations I got from several Weight Watchers meetings. They're on my refrigerator and they do help--when I look at them. It's enough to make me decide I really don't want whatever snack I was going to drink. However, sometimes it's just too easy to ignore them when I'm having a bad day and need "comfort food" or just don't care at that particular moment.
