How can I practise calming my mind?

If you are looking for ways to calm your mind then look no further than the practice of using powerful morning affirmations for mindfulness.

Affirmations are short sayings repeated over and over until they become part of your belief system. Most affirmations will be in connection to yourself, short sayings you will repeat in a positive manner in order to affirm a belief you want to uphold.

The way you speak to yourself matters greatly. Have you ever found yourself saying derogatory things such as, “I’m useless” for example?

A simple saying like this doesn’t seem too bad as an isolated case but the problem with this sort of negative thinking is the thoughts will start to grow and more and more negative thinking will appear until you have no good thoughts about yourself, only negative ones. This is where the damage starts to your sense of well-being.

The more negatively you speak to yourself, the more negatively you will think about yourself. This will then lead to you feeling anxious, upset and depressed. You could begin to lack motivation and start to withdraw from your life and those around you. If you want to feel good about yourself then you have to speak positively to yourself.

Using positive morning affirmations is a very simple yet highly effective way of boosting your confidence and calming your mind, leaving you feeling positive, happy and relaxed. Using these affirmations allows you to say I am giving myself permission to celebrate me, to boost your self-confidence and to reflect on how great a person you are.

Can affirmations get rid of anxiety?

When you live in the present moment you will feel less anxious. Most people will feel anxious about circumstances in their future. Their minds will move to a situation further ahead and will imagine all sorts of stressful outcomes that haven’t even happened.

Their brains will see these thoughts as facts and will start to worry over them, bringing on feelings of anxiety and stress.

When you live in the present moment, you will be focused solely on what is happening now, which should give you a greater level of calmness and relaxation, bringing you inner peace, which is good for your mental health and overall well-being.

Developing a morning routine of positive affirmations using mindfulness will help you to eliminate anxiety from your life. Positive affirmations will flood your body with positive energy. When you use positive language and are kind to yourself, it will automatically raise your positive energy levels, make you feel happier and make you feel grateful. All of these positive emotions will have a huge effect on your mental and physical well-being.

What are the three Ps of affirmations?

Affirmations are all about thinking positively. Although most of us would like to always think in a positive mindset, there are times when more negative thinking will come to the fore. This is where positive affirmations are especially useful. When thinking about creating positive affirmations, think about the 3 Ps;

Positive
Personal
Present tense

Make sure the affirmations you are using are filled with positive thoughts and there are no words of negation in them. Your affirmations should be aspirational, and have goals in them you aspire to or ways of living you want to be living.

They should be said in the first person and be all about you, for example, “ I am doing what I love most in the world” when talking about your job, even if it isn't your dream job at present.

They should be constructed in the present tense, “ I have all I need in life at this moment in time” for example. You need to say your affirmations as if what you want from your life is already in it.

Your affirmations also have to be believable and realistic, your brain needs to believe them. Therefore, instead of saying “ I am rich beyond my wildest dreams” you could say “ I have everything I need in my life at this moment.” These subtle differences can help your brain to fully take on board what you are saying to it so it is far more likely to bring you everything you desire.

You need to say your positive affirmations every day, morning and evening so they start to go into your subconscious and become your reality. Choose times when you will have a regular reminder to do them such as when you brush your teeth. This will mean it becomes a habit much quicker and you are more likely to create a lasting routine.

Your affirmations should be associated with positive feelings such as feeling safe and secure, and feeling happy and loved. Your affirmations should give your life meaning and be ones you enjoy saying. The more you say them, the easier it will become to repeat them and to believe in them until very quickly, they will become second nature to you and you will believe everything you are saying.
