Daily Affirmations to Help Get Through Tough Times
I’ve been into the concept of Law of Attraction and manifesting your desires for a few years – actually ever since I watched “The Secret” several years ago.
I’ll be honest, it seemed a bit strange to me at the time – the idea that our thoughts created, even in some way, our reality. Yet I resonated with it as I had proof of this in certain instances throughout my life.
I knew that more positive thoughts almost always brought some good results. Yet, when I approached something negatively, I have negative outcomes.
If you consider your own life, you may have had your own experiences where you saw this was true.
However, I didn’t learn more about the idea of manifesting until a couple of years ago. Little by little, I’ve studied more through books and videos, and I’ve seen the results in my life as I’ve changed my mindset.
I’ve done some of the manifestation and visualizing exercises, made a vision board and wish list, and occasionally repeat affirmations.
While I won’t go into the law of attraction or the law of vibration in this particular post, I will say that it’s absolutely worth learning more about, for anyone.
In my experience, the mindset shift isn’t instant and takes some time. However, by changing some small habits and the words we say to ourselves, this will work quicker than you might think.
Our thoughts really do impact the life we experience.
During this particularly difficult time, it’s normal to have moments when we feel down. So many things seem uncertain, and many of us are experiencing changes we never thought we’d see.
This is why I’ve decided to write this now.
I’m a Mom, wife, travel blogger, small business owner and educator. I have parents and in-laws I’m concerned about, as well as as the financial pressures that we all are dealing with in some way.
Yet, I know this is temporary and that things will improve in time, even as they change. I have my difficult moments, but I’m committed to keeping my mindset open and positive.
These are the affirmations that I am saying to myself, and that you might use as well. Feel free to adapt them as necessary to your own particular situation.
How to Get the Best Results with Daily Affirmations
- Choose 1-5 affirmations to focus on daily
- Sit in a relaxing spot inside the house or outdoors
- Consider looking in the mirror while smiling and “talking to yourself”, like a pep talk
- Feeling stressed? Breath in deeply and out, with longer breaths as you inhale
- Repeat each affirmation a few times a day for better results in feeling positive and to see a shift in your vibrational energy (feeling good and a positive forward momentum)
