Affirm Your Way to the Life You Want
We typically do not give the affirmations we speak a lot of attention. Affirmations are the words we speak designed to impact our lives. Most people only think of positive affirmations; however, we can speak negative affirmations without realizing it. We can say and think negative things about ourselves that become part of our subconscious and cause negative behaviors, habits, and situations to gravitate to us.
We should try to speak positive affirmations about ourselves. There are numerous benefits to speaking positive affirmations. They help to motivate us to pursue our goals and visualize the things we want in our life. There is a theory that our words and thoughts manifest in our life. We draw to us the things we say and think whether they are negative or positive.
It is difficult to draw positive things to our lives when we are thinking or speaking negative. The first step is to remove the negative. Do not focus on the things you do not want. Think and speak the positive things you want in your life. Do you need a job? Say you are attracting the perfect job for you. Visualize yourself working your dream job. Do not talk about your flaws and the bad job market. Affirm for your health by saying you feel healthy and strong. See yourself healthy. I like to quote promises from the bible. I have them written in a journal and say them out loud. Find affirmations specifically for the things you want in your life whether it is a job, new relationship, health, confidence, happiness, or money. You do not need to make your affirmations complicated. You can search the Internet for examples.
Once you start speaking positive affirmations, do not get discouraged if they do not quickly manifest. Stay with it for the long term. Speak your affirmations daily.

I have been interested in preventive medicine since my childhood. In the 70s, my aunt would take me with her to meet with a doctor who emphasized preventive medicine. A lot of the things that doctor discussed then has become standard today.
