Many of my clients have been struggling with the concept of affirmations. I believe, because it is so easy for many of them to feed themselves negative messages about themselves. I have found this decent example of affirmations through my research:
Examples of Positive Affirmations
Positive affirmations can be used to reprogram your thought patterns and change the way you think and feel about things.
They are short positive statements that can help you focus on goals, get rid of negative, self-defeating beliefs and program your subconscious mind.
Here are some examples of positive affirmations related to various areas of personal development.
* I know, accept and am true to myself.
* I believe in, trust and have confidence in myself.
* I eat well, exercise regularly and get plenty of rest to enjoy good health.
* I learn from my mistakes.
* I know I can accomplish anything I set my mind to.
* I forgive myself for not being perfect because I know I'm human.
* I never give up.
* I accept what I cannot change.
* I make the best of every situation.
* I look for humor and fun in as many situations as possible.
* I enjoy life to the fullest.
* I have control over my thoughts, feelings and choices.
* I stand up for my beliefs, values and morals.
* I treat others with respect and appreciate their individuality.

One thing to keep in mind: Affirmations must be honest. Positive delusional affirmations, will yield little fruit. Be honest with yourself.

Whenever I hear the words positive affirmations, all I can think of is Saturday Night Live. In all seriousness, it is really hard to come up with believable affirmations when your inner voice has been negative for so long. It feels like I am lying to myself, and it makes me feel stupid. Case in point.
