Ending The Week With Positivity
So why is it important to end your week on a positive note? Sure, there will be weeks and days that are considered bad and stressful, but you have the power to decide how you’re going to react to them.
Choosing to end the week on a positive note helps you to understand that you have full control over your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and beliefs.
You have the power to decide how you’re going to react to things around you, and when you choose to be more positive, it will help you overcome many obstacles a lot easier.
This is one of the main reasons why affirmations are so important. They train your brain to think more positively and when you think more positively, you attract more positive things. This goes for events, people, conversations, and everything in between!
Choosing positivity does not mean you are ignoring the negative aspects of your mind or life. It simply means that you are choosing to react and deal with those negative aspects in a more productive and healthy way.
We can’t always control when something negative happens to us, but responding negatively can cause us a lot of stress and in a lot of cases, this makes the whole situation worse.
Even if you have a hard and stressful day, you can still feel thankful for that day. Look at hard days as a lesson from the universe that is teaching you more about yourself.
Sometimes you’ll have an interaction with someone being negative, but more often than not, their negativity is more a reflection of themselves rather than you.
Choosing to end your week in a positive mindset will set you up for more success. Affirmations work hand in hand with manifestation, so if you want to be more successful in life, you have to train yourself to be more positive.
It will take a bit of getting used to, forcing yourself to think positively is really strange when you first start! But once you get used to it, you’ll find that your whole quality of life has drastically improved!
Start your weekend off the right way and use the affirmations we’ve provided to help get you into a more positive mindset.
Tips & Tricks For Mastering Affirmations
If you’ve never used affirmations before, it can be quite tricky to get used to them. It can feel unnatural or even a bit silly at first, but we can promise you that everyone who uses affirmations has felt like this from time to time.
To help you get into using affirmations more frequently, check out these tips:
Go at your own pace. The main thing you have to remember about affirmations is that you should rush through them. You want to really absorb what you are saying and thinking, so take your time! You should also say them as many times as you need to in order for them to work. If you need to spend an hour of your day going through your affirmations, that’s perfectly fine! Affirmation practices are different for everyone.
Use a method that suits you. Though saying affirmations over and over out loud is the most common way to do it, don’t be afraid to mix it up so it suits you. In order to feel comfortable and believe your affirmations, you need to put yourself in that mindset. You can meditate on your affirmations, or you can write them down in your journal instead. There are plenty of ways to do your affirmations!
Cater your affirmations to you. Above all, make sure the affirmations you choose are relevant to you and your situation. It’s really easy to create your own affirmations, but if you want to use the ones we’ve provided, just tailor them to suit your own individual situation. The more personal the affirmation, the easier it is to believe.
