Personal

This category covers a wide array of topics and information about “Personal matters”, which can be personal collections, personal prayers, relationships, belongings, career, and most importantly is the personal emotion.

Do you feel down, confused, and sad?

Do you feel burned out from the stresses of your day-to-day life?

Are you finding it hard to stay motivated amid life’s challenges? 

If you’re looking for a way to inspire and motivate yourself; if you’re looking for a way to turn your negative thoughts into good ones, why not use positive personal affirmations?

What Are Positive Affirmations?

Positive affirmations are defined by the Psychology Dictionary as “brief phrases, repeated frequently, which are designed to encourage positive, happy feelings, thoughts, and attitudes”.

Essentially, they’re positive statements that challenge negative, unhelpful, or self-sabotaging thoughts. They hold no religious or spiritual meaning in the traditional sense and can be used for many purposes.

Some might say affirmations sound like “wishful thinking.” However, you can instead think of them as exercises for your mind. What you repeat to yourself over and over again can rewire your brain and becomes your reality. It just happens over time, bit by bit, the same way you build muscle when exercising physically.

Why and When to Use Positive Affirmations

So, why should you use positive affirmations – and when can you use them?

The answer is: It’s entirely up to YOU!

You can use affirmations whenever you want to make a positive change in your life. However, they are particularly helpful when you’re not at your best: when you need support and a boost in self-esteem, whether you’re facing high demands at work, facing excess stress, higher levels of insecurity, grief, or life setbacks.

But, that’s not the whole story. Positive affirmations are also useful when you ARE at your best and want to improve even more: exercise and meditate more, develop some good habits, notice more of the small daily joys, and appreciate the people around you more, be more productive, excel at work, etc. The list is endless!

Some of the benefits of positive personal affirmations are:

• Increase in self-confidence.
• Increase in positivity.
• Control of negative feelings such as anger, frustration, sadness, or impatience.
• Resilience to stress (which can lead to better health).
• Improved productivity.
• Increased ability to overcome a bad habit.
• Help in achieving goals.

What Positive Personal Affirmations Do NOT Do

Positive affirmations are NOT a ‘cure’ for anxiety or depression, nor are they a substitute for clinical treatment of those conditions. So, definitely seek the help of a professional, if that’s the case!

Second, positive affirmations don’t work without practice. You have to use them regularly to rewire your thoughts. Think of it this way: It isn’t enough to just own a pair of running shoes or even to read about running – it doesn’t replace actually going out and doing it.
