Create Change in your life

Affirmations can be very useful when you need to give yourself a pep talk occasionally, it doesn’t hurt to remind yourself from time to time what you can do or are capable of by way of some positive self talk. However don’t fall into the trap of contradicting yourself (saying something and then never carrying out the appropriate action). For example saying you feel great then immediately saying you feel terrible. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Use statements that serve you in the present moment, for example to focus on a current goal or to increase your self-belief.

• Use words that mean something to you.

• Read your statements as often as you need to.

• Use your self talk when you are working on stopping negative thoughts, you can use them to replace any negative internal dialogue.

• Sometimes it may be necessary to first interrupt your current thought pattern, do this by changing state; either physically (going for a walk, exercise) or mentally (change what you are thinking about).

Examples:

• I am a very good singer

• Every day I am becoming more confident

• Today I feel great
