How to Use Self-Love Affirmations
The first thing to examine is your life goals. The questions you ask yourself will develop a clear view of the path you wish to take to achieve those goals.
With a little bit of help, we will discover together how to put positive affirmations to positive use.
Take five or ten minutes when you wake up and before you fall asleep to speak them with enthusiastic energy.
Everyone keeps their affirmations in different places. The best spots are places you see every day and remind you that you deserve all the love the world has to offer.
A few suggested places to put your affirmations for self love include:
Next, sticking to a routine when it comes to affirmations helps make the most of them. Even your breathing plays a factor in their effectiveness.
You should take at least three ten-second deep breaths. Remember to inhale and exhale deeply.
Remember that you are bold and brave. Look yourself in the eyes while standing in front of a mirror. Give yourself a smile; you deserve it.
Spoken repetition puts your affirmations for self love into the universe, and the world will respond in kind. Speak it into existence using clear and concise words, so you absorb their meaning. Repeat your affirmation three to five times, truly take each one in.
When you’re done, take another three breaths. You are inhaling the positive energy you’ve put into the universe.
Your brain is activated by words, but also with visualization. The combo of spoken affirmations and visualization creates an entirely positive experience.
When you’re looking at yourself in the mirror, try to develop a movie of what you want in your mind. Play that film or desire in your mind as you speak positive words into existence.
If you need a little practice, start with creating goal pictures or writing down what you want to picture onto index cards.
