Advantages of affirmations 

Rewire your brain

Regularly practicing positive affirmations activates reward centers in the brain called nucleus acumbens. This area is linked with heightened dopamine levels and is usually activated when you experience pleasant scenarios like winning a trophy.

Research shows that affirmations are so powerful that if said frequently for a prolonged period, they will rewire a person’s brain and make them believe even if the affirmations aren’t true.

Reduce stress levels

Increased stress levels are harmful. They can lead to poor sleeping patterns, irritability, and high blood pressure. Most of these occur due to heightened cortisol levels in the body.

Studies have found that consistently practising affirmations can help lower cortisol levels in the body, protecting against the negative impacts of stress.

Increases productivity 

Have you been struggling with procrastination? Affirmations can help you overcome it and become more productive. 

For instance, encouraging phrases like “I am capable,” “I can do this,” or “I am skilled” can help motivate you to take action. As a result, you will get more done in a shorter timeframe.

Provide a growth mindset.

We often encounter life’s challenges, some of which may take a toll on us. Consequently, we develop a fixed mindset and think we have limited abilities. Such a mindset will prevent us from adapting and handling the different life phases.

However, affirmations can help shift your mindset to a growth mindset. You will be more flexible and adopt a positive outlook on life, regardless of your difficulties.

Improve mood 

Affirmations can help instill positive emotions like peace, gratitude, joy, and hope in you.

In addition, when you consistently repeat affirmations, they shift your focus from negative to positive feelings.

How to create affirmations 

You don’t necessarily have to create new affirmations, as plenty are online. However, if you want to make affirmations, here are some steps to follow.

Identify your why

Consider how you want the affirmation to make you feel or act, then create phrases that align with your goal.

Ensure the affirmations are about you.

Only use the first person’s reference when affirming, such as “I am worthy” or “I am capable.” Also, ensure that the affirmations align with your core principles.

Turn negative affirmations into positive ones.

Instead of saying, “I hate my life” or “I can’t achieve that,” say, “I love my life” or “I can achieve anything.” Doing so trains your subcontractors to focus on positivity and eradicate all negativity.

How to use affirmations to attract what you want

Build a habit 

Consistency is a critical requirement in all aspects of life, and affirmations aren’t an exception. Set reminders and hold yourself accountable for sticking to them.

Start and end your day with affirmations.

Beginning your day with a few affirmations will give you positive energy to use throughout the day. Do this for a few days, and you will undoubtedly notice you are more productive, cheerful, and full of hope.

You must also finish your day with affirmations to help you sleep better without any stressful thoughts.

Repeat the affirmations slowly.

Avoid saying your affirmations hastily. Instead, take time and repeat them slowly. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and entirely focus on the affirmations.

Consider using quantum energy, as it will help increase your affirmations’ effectiveness and impact. It provides EMF protection, harmonizes your energy, and boosts performance.
