What is an affirmation?

An affirmation is a short, powerful statement used to consciously affect your thoughts in a positive way. We have an estimated 50,000 thoughts a day and most of them are not pretty. Often, we are very critical of ourselves. We would not dream of talking to another the way we “speak” to ourselves in our inner dialogue.

Today, your invitation is to embrace this exercise of reciting an affirmation each day during the month of December.

It will help to positively transform your thoughts (and your life) for the better.

An affirmation only needs to feel about 50% true for it to resonate with you, dear one. By stating an affirmation, you are calling that intention to you using the powerful Law of Attraction. By speaking the affirmation out loud, it becomes even more powerful as you are activating your throat chakra.

The month of December can be a harried time of year for most of us. Let’s profoundly change the trajectory of our thoughts with these affirmations and end the year with a powerful shift of consciousness.

Affirmations that begin with the words “I am” are especially powerful.

Whatever follows the “I am” becomes your truth. Be vigilant with the statements you think and say about yourself. You want to select empowering statements that improve the energy vibration of your life. For example, if you say, “I am tired, I am sick, I am broke, I am stuck…” you are calling more of that low energy towards you.

You can shift those thoughts with more energizing and empowering statements such as “I am getting the rest I need, I am taking time to replenish myself, I am good with money, I am excited about…”. These slight shifts have a powerful, transformational effect on the quality of your day and your life.

Can you invest one minute a day on yourself to consciously improve your thoughts and your life? Can you afford not to?
