Daily Affirmations - How Can We Use Daily Affirmations to Achieve Total Happiness?

By Eric L. Miller


For thousands of years, a small percentage of the world population has been using the power of daily affirmations to help them with their health and achieve the happiness that they desire. It is simply interesting that just by repeating certain key phrases to yourself everyday can have a positive impact on your attitude. What exactly are daily affirmations and how can you use daily affirmations as you strive towards abundance and personal growth?

The first part of successful positive daily affirmations is to complete know and understand who the statement is about. In the example, the statement is about "I". This is very straightforward, yet important. All of your statements should be about yourself. Using "I" is obviously the easiest way to accomplish this, however you can use your own name if it helps you. Instead of "I", you could substitute your name. It isn't important what you call yourself as long as you know that the positive daily affirmations are set to affect you and no one else.

In order for positive daily affirmations to be successful, you must use a time reference in them. This can be as specific as you want, but it sets a specific goal to be achieved at a set time. When deciding that you want your statement to be true right now, tell yourself that NOW is the time that it is. In the example, the time designation is "am". That shows that the statement is true right now, not some ambiguous time in the future, or even some time in the past. It isn't going to help you to know that you were an influence yesterday, it is critical to know that you right now, you are an influence. If you do decide that you want to use a time in the future, make it deadline, be as specific as possible. Compare these two statements: "I will be rich" and "Before I am 25 years old, I will have thousands of dollars in my bank account". Both of those statements say the same thing. However, by changing the time frame in the second statement from "will" to "before I am 25", you have given yourself a goal and a length of time to achieve that goal rather than just a time in the future. Time definitions are important in your positive daily affirmations.

You might want to extend these phrases into affirmation statements that you can repeat to yourself at ease and sounds believable. To make this daily affirmation process grow, write out thirty different statements for each day of the month. Affirmations are based on the reasoning that we create our own conditions and experienced through our feelings and thoughts.

One example of a daily affirmation statement that I personally used is, "Let me live each moment of this day attentively, consciously and intentionally, with an open mind and an open heart".The basic idea of practicing daily affirmations is to plant positive seeds of thought into your subconscious mind. By doing this you give yourself permission to grow, to change, to take risks, to rise up, and to create a better life for yourself. Its purpose is to create self-awareness by having your spirit guide your thoughts and actions throughout your life instead of having your past tape continue to run your life for you.

Daily affirmations can and will help you with your health and help you achieve the happiness you desire. With the increasing popularity of the movie and book "The Secret" and "The Power" by Rhonda Byrne, as well as countless other abundance teachers, positive thinking and affirmations are once again gaining favor as a powerful way to bring joy into your life. Here are 7 positive affirmations to help you bring abundance into your life.Joy, happiness, and abundance come to me with ease.Continue to be grateful for all you have received and all you will receive in the future. Focus on finding the great benefits from all the small things you receive on a daily basis. The more you realize how easily things come to you the easier it will become to receive more of it.

I always receive more than I desire.Keep using gratitude in your life and know you will always receive more than necessary to live your best life now! The more readily you are able to see all the good things coming to you, and most importantly to be grateful for it, the more likely good things will continue to come your way. Abundance is prevalent everywhere in each of our lives, the challenge comes in seeing it for what it truly is.I have all the money I currently need.This one is especially critical for me, and may be for you to. Focus on all the things you can afford with the money you have in your bank account. It doesn't matter if you have $100.00 or $100,000.00 in the account. What matters is realizing what you can afford with those dollars and how significant it is. In today's world $100.00 will buy you conveniences only available to the ultra wealthy only a few decades ago.

Positive daily affirmations are the optimists' ultimate tool. In the example, you are letting your mind know that no matter what happens during the day, it is still a good day. What this means is that your mind will show you that even if bad things happen, there are still good things to counter it. Take for example getting splashed by a puddle on your way to work. Normally this would really be a bad thing, since now your clothes are wet, perhaps even muddy. However, since you programmed your mind to view the day as being good, your mind will then remind you, subconsciously of course, that you are still awake, ready to go to work, and now have a funny story to tell your co-workers today. That is the power of positive daily affirmations.

One of the key benefits of positive daily affirmations is that you will draw like-minded people to you. An interesting exercise to do sometime is watch two different people interact. If one has positive thoughts in their mind, while the other has negative thoughts, the negative thinking person will tend to walk away from the positive thinker. This is a classic case of the old adage "misery loves company". The truth of the matter is that if a person is unhappy, generally they don't want to be around people who are happy. However, other people who use positive daily affirmations will group together since they all share a positive outlook on things. This entire group of people will draw off of the positive energy of each other, in turn strengthening their own good feelings. Before long, you have an entire group of people using positive daily affirmations that are walking around in a virtual euphoria.

I attract abundance and joy all the time every day.Give yourself the freedom to live in joy and abundance as a normal part of your daily life. Realize joy doesn't have to be something experienced only occasionally. Abundance isn't something reserved for a select few. Instead, accept joy and abundance as daily gifts to be received at all times and in all areas of your life. The more freedom you allow yourself in this area the easier it will become to experience all you are entitled to receive.Using these 7 affirmations on a consistent basis will impact your personal ability to receive abundance into your life on a regular basis. Spend time reviewing and practicing these 7 power affirmations over the next 30 days and I know results will begin show up in your life on a consistent basis.
