You may not realise it but your thoughts have a huge impact on your daily life. How many times have you woken up late in the morning after a bad night sleep and thought today is going to be hard. Then from the minute, you get up everything seems to go wrong.
You burn your toast then you can’t find your car keys. You get stuck in traffic and end up late to work. At lunchtime, you realise that you’ve left your wallet at home because you were rushing out the door. By the time you get home that evening you’ve had a really bad day!
Now imagine that you had woken up that morning and said to yourself I may be late but I’m not going to let it affect my day. You stretch, get up and get on with your day with a positive mindset. How do you think your day would work out with a start like that?

What are Affirmations
The official definition for affirmations is… ‘the action or process of affirming something’. They are short positive sentences that you repeat to yourself on a regular basis to help change the way you think and feel.
How Affirmations can Help you
Affirmations are a way for you to be in control of your own thoughts. According to the National Science Foundation, we can have as many as 70,000 thoughts per day! Further to that around 80% of those thoughts are negative ones and 95% are the same repetitive thoughts that we had the day before.
That’s a lot of noise going on in your mind every day. Affirmations can help you to cut through the noise and focus your attention on one particular thought.
How we talk to ourselves, whether in our head or out loud has a direct effect on how we handle situations. If you go into a job interview thinking I’ll never get this job, I’m not good enough the chance is you won’t get that job.
Negative thoughts create negative energy and other people pick up on your energy.
‘What you think you become. What you feel you attract. What you imagine you create’ Buddha
By repeating positive affirmations or thoughts to yourself on a daily basis you are tricking your mind into believing what you are saying.
Try for one day to stop and pay attention to your thoughts. How many are negative? I bet it’s more than you think.
