Shifting Your Energy with Affirmations

I personally love using mantras and affirmations on a regular basis to help me connect to the energy I want to feel. They have been a cherished part of my morning routine for years now and I have experienced the immense support that they can provide.

Positive affirmations can get a bad rap because of the idea that you are lying to yourself by stating that something is true when it isn’t. For example: saying “I am a millionaire” or “I have all the wealth I could ever want” when objectively those situations are not currently happening. Here is the thing though, whether we realize it or not we are always affirming our reality to ourselves. If you are struggling with money you are probably repeating phrases such as “I can’t afford that” or “I don’t have enough money”.

Words hold power. Be intentional about the words you use, especially the ones you tell yourself. You could instead say/think, “my money is best spent on something else right now”. You don’t need to tell yourself you are a millionaire when you aren’t but be careful not to reinforce a reality that you want to change. The more you say it the more your brain accepts it as truth.

When I repeat affirmations to myself I am not desperately trying affirm a new reality into existence. Instead, I am using the feeling that that mantra evokes to shift my energy into alignment with how I want to feel. Then I go about my day from there. If I want to feel empowered I write or say out loud empowering affirmations. If I want to feel calm I choose calming mantras. So on and so forth…

The only “rule” when it comes to affirmations is to always state your affirmation in the positive. So, instead of saying “I am never fearful” you would say “I am brave” or “I am courageous”.

Here are some of my favorite affirmations to get you started, but I recommend creating some of your own. The more they draw forth an emotion the more potent they will be…
