Positive affirmations aren’t just woo-woo nonsense. They really can change your brain and your life in powerful ways. Here is how.
Our brains are bombarded with information from our senses all of the time. Out of necessity, we filter out much of this information and only register what is important to us.
Try this little experiment to see how this works. Look around the room and notice all of the green things you can see. Now close your eyes and try to remember all of the red items in the room. Chances are you won’t remember many of them because you were focused only on the green things. Now open your eyes and see how many red things you missed.
This shows how the brain actively seeks out information it sees as pertinent while ignoring anything that it thinks is irrelevant. Because of this, the brain actually ignores many things and experiences that could be useful to us.
When we use affirmations, we are training our brains to look for information that can help us with certain desires.
For example, if we affirm that we only want to eat healthy foods, it trains our brains to look out for healthy foods rather than cakes and chips. If money is important to us, our brains start to look out for new opportunities to increase our income.
Affirmations send a clear message to our brains that a certain topic is very important to us. When we say them, preferably on a daily basis, our brain gets busy looking for ways to help us achieve our goals.
We can use positive affirmations to help us in all areas of our lives.
Here are some common areas that most of us would like to improve and some affirmations to help us achieve our goals.
Use these affirmations when you want to attract more success into your life.
I am excited to create all the success I desire
I am a positive and influential presence on this planet
I joyfully let go of old beliefs that no longer serve me
I am worthy of all the good life has to offer and I deserve to be successful.
Use these affirmations to attract abundance and prosperity into your life.
All of my actions lead to abundance and prosperity
I joyfully welcome all good things to come into my life

These affirmations can help you to achieve the happiness you desire.
I choose to be happy and I deserve to be happy
I create peace and harmony and joy for myself today

These affirmations can help you find a soulmate or improve your current relationship.
I am happy and confident within myself
I am joyfully building a happy relationship

I am proud of who I have become
I love and accept myself unconditionally
I am a unique and special person who is worthy of respect from others
Using affirmations every day can really make the way we think and experience the world more positive. By replacing habitual negative thoughts with these positive expressions, we can change our world.
It takes time to make these changes, so be patient and don’t give up on affirmations if they don’t work immediately. Most people find they experience a significant change after around 21 days of repeating and affirmation.
You can use several affirmations at once, but don’t try to change everything at the same time. Give your mind a chance to really focus on what is most important to you and then gradually add more affirmations over time.
