How would you like to destroy those belief systems that keep you stuck and non functional? How would you like to take personality traits from people you admire and make them yours? What would your life be like if you stopped telling yourself that you can't or that you are inferior? Well it sounds like alot of work and well If you consider reading a few phrases to be alot of work then you are right but it's still worth it as long as you believe in what you are doing. The more belief and visualization you put into it, the more you can get out of it.
This thread is dedicated to affirmation scripts which I'm currently using myself in order to change my life and well I've gotten good results with some of the affirmations already.
There is one affirmation I suggest you start on first before even looking at the other ones. This one has to do with habits (using affirmations is a positive habit that we want to create). The affirmation is;
I am patient with progress & my goals. Any effort I put forth brings me closer to my goal. Slipping back just gives me the opportunity to learn and grow even closer to my goal.
If you can really understand the reality of that affirmation then it will make you more relaxed when you go to change habits. This means more self-esteem, no guilt, less anxiety and stress as well. See when you have a habit it is something you do habitually and the way our brains are wired, your brain will be more likely to follow that same wiring until its changed. Progress will be slow because it takes awhile to rewire and your brain will continue to keep trying to follow the original wiring. Slowly and slowly you will break that path way and create a new one. This is how it works for everybody and to beat yourself up for not being able to automatically switch from one pattern to another is just foolish and only makes you miserable and feel hopeless.
Affirmations are recommended to be read 3-4X a day. I like to read them when i first wake up and when i'm about to go to sleep, I also read them before or after working out at the gym or if i go and visit a park.
