Thoughts Contradict Affirmations Talk & Meditation
This week we discuss why thoughts contradict affirmations. They contradict because we state them but our subconscious mind isn’t believing it. i.e., I am wealthy – my bank account states differently. This is because our negative self-talks are repeated over and over.
EX: Someone annoys you – there will be a thought & an emotion associated with it and we usually repeat something like "I can't believe they did that" and now you have created an affirmation.
We usually read off affirmations like a list with no emotion. I am wealthy, I am safe, I am prosperous, I am healthy, I am loved. No emotion just going through a list.
Affirmations can be difficult to state especially if it’s contradicting an emotional experience
With affirmations and if needed support, you can change your thoughts.
It’s okay to take your time with them.
Taking deep breaths and exhaling slowly helps.
Visualizing being a calm place – the beach, forest, meadow, or bed.
Think of someone or something you love: your family, your friends, a loved one, a pet, your home. Feel that emotion of love.
You’re using affirmations to help change long-standing patterns and beliefs. A good way to bring this change about is to act as if you’ve already succeeded.
Affirmations are effective if stated in the present.
Adding I feel to them – ex: I am wealthy – I feel wealthy, I am loved – I feel loved.
It’s easier to make a change when an emotion is associated with it. Emotions are energy – which helps us with a change.
We’re going to do a meditation with affirmations.
Get yourself into a comfortable position either sitting or laying down and close your eyes.
Breath in – hold – breath out (3x)
Visualize your calming place – waterfront, forest, meadow, backyard wherever you feel calm. Visualize yourself there.
Breath in and hold – breath out and repeat after me
I am loved – I feel loved
I am prosperous – I feel prosperous
I am joyful – I feel joyful
I am safe – I feel safe
I live with passion and purpose, I feel my passion & purpose
I have compassion – I feel compassionate
I am worthy – I feel worthy
I am free – I feel free
I am grateful – I feel grateful
I have abundance – I feel abundance
I am at peace – I feel peaceful
Take a deep breath and welcome back
Have a wonderful day and many blessings.
