Our life can be changed by the way we think. Life becomes happy and cheerful by our positive thoughts . Our thoughts and beliefs create our world. Looking at the positive aspects of any situation and trying to focus on it generates a Positive Attitude.
Our subconscious mind creates everything in our life, depending on the commands that we give to it. It is like a magnet. It does not know to reason out. It just simply listens to us, and implicitly carries out our commands or our messages.
Suppose, I believe that the world out there is very cruel and waiting to pounce on me. I will experience that very thing in my Life.
If on the other hand I believe that the world is a very nice place to live in and all are friendly, I will experience that very same belief in my Life . In fact this is the reason why under same circumstances two people have different experiences, based on their belief systems.
So how can we change our Life now? Is there a way out?
By feeding our subconscious mind with positive thoughts our life can be turned positive. It is at this point that Affirmations come in handy. Affirmations are short powerful positive statements of events as if they have already taken place.
We need to just focus on what we want, without bothering about whether it is possible or not. Once we start reciting positive affrimations to ourself, our subconscious mind acts like a magnet and attracts such situations in our Life.
Even in our great scripture Yogavasishta, which is a dialogue between sage Vasishta and Lord Rama, Sage Vasishta says everything is the creation of our mind.
Sometimes affirmations make us feel , am I telling a lie to myself or am I cheating myself?
How does this work?
It works like this. We all know about the cause and effect. when there is a cause the effect is bound to follow. For eg: Seed is the cause, tree is the effect. When we are working with affirmations we are projecting the effect which will make the cause to happen, which will attract the cause in our life.
One thing we need to believe is, there are several solutions to any situation and the Divine knows the right one for us. Instead of constricting and restricting ourselves, we need to open our mind and heart to it.
There is one more advantage in this. This makes us become aware and clear about what we want in life.
Affirmations can be recited in the morning and at bed time, also throughout the day, any time, any number of times. The idea is to make it a part and parcel of your belief system.
Affirmations can be used to improve any area of our life, be it health, finance, education, relationships etc: etc
