Positive Affirmations and Words to Live By
80
What Are Positive Affirmations?
I believe that everything in our life began as a thought. What we give out - we get back. When we create peace and harmony in our minds and think positive thoughts, we attract positive experiences and people. What we believe, both about ourselves and our lives becomes true for us. Did you know that nearly 90% of our thoughts are negative? We have the power to turn any negative thought into a positive one through the use of affirmations.
The definition of an affirmation as it pertains to psychology is: positive statement of achievement: a positive thought or statement affirming that a desired goal has been reached or is within reach.
Another definition is: something affirmed: a positive statement or declaration of the truth or existence of something.
Learning to use positive affirmations is a process, a technique to change negative self-talk into something more positive. It involves repeating positive phrases and can be quite powerful. If you add visualization to your positive self-talk, this speeds up the process.
The following affirmations are a list that I have collected throughout my life. A few, I have written myself and I encourage you to add your own as needed. A good time to come up with affirmations is while walking or at any time you are viewing nature.
When first beginning an affirmation exercise, you may not believe or accept what you are saying. No matter - simply continue with repeating the phrase throughout the entire day and if needed into the next day or even the week.
Self Approval
Affirm:
I Love and Approve of Myself Just the Way I Am (I appreciate all that I do and I am good enough just as I am. I speak up for myself and I ask for what I want. I claim my power .)
I Love Myself Totally in the Now
I Experience Love Wherever I Go (Love is everywhere and I am loving and lovable. Loving people come into my life and I find myself easily expressing love to others .)
I Accept My Uniqueness
I Deserve the Best and I Accept the Best Now (I am mentally and emotionally equipped to enjoy a prosperous and loving life. It is my birthright to deserve all good. I claim my good .)
I am at Peace With My Age and I Keep My Mind Healthy and Happy. I Enjoy Every Precious Day.
When I Believe in Myself, So Do Others.
Letting Go Affirmations
" What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Oliver Wendall Holmes
I am willing to let go. (I let go of all past negative thoughts and experiences. I release others to experience whatever is meaningful for them and I am free to create whatever is meaningful to me.)
The past is over and I Let it Go. (This a new day, this is a new minute, one that I have never lived before. I stay in the now and enjoy each and every moment .)
I release all things from my past that cloud my vision. (I see only the perfection in all life. I willingly forgive. I bring love into my vision, and I see with light and compassion .)
I am at peace with my past. I choose to release the past now. I move forward by letting go of the past. I choose to forgive myself and others. I am grateful and happy to experience new joys in life.
I can release the past and forgive everyone. ( I free myself and everyone in my life from old past hurts. They are free and I am free to move on, into a new and glorious experience .)

Imagination - the Workshop of the Human Mind
Man's greatest gift is his thinking mind - Napoleon Hill
Every thought you think, every word you say, is an affirmation. All of our self-talk or inner dialogue is a stream of affirmations. By choosing to think and say positive affirmations as true, the subconscious is forced into one of two reactions - avoidance or reappraisal.
Continually repeating affirmations with conviction and passion will chip away at even the strongest resistance.
Because affirmations actually reprogram your thought patterns, they change the way you think and feel about things, and because you have replaced dysfunctional beliefs with your own new positive beliefs, positive change comes easily and naturally. This will start to reflect in your external life, you will start to experience seismic changes for the better in many aspects of your life.
An important part of believing is to feel "as if it has already happened." I have found that one of the best ways to evoke that feeling is to express *gratitude* after you recite an affirmation.
An attitude of gratitude is absolutely essential in your practice of affirmations
You are a mental magnet.
Every thought you entertain is a force that goes out, and every thought comes back, laden with its kind...Ralph Walden Trine

I'm very behind in my hub reading, just getting around to this one, great hub. Affirmations truly are important. Thanks dear friend for the great hub. Blessings to you and your dear family.
Judicastro - You are such a treasure. Thank you for the blessings and your friendship. I appreciate your comments. I try to do affirmations each day, even if I only have a few minutes. They are so very powerful.

2besure - For me affirmations are very powerful. I thank you for adding these to your list. Peace, love and harmony in every aspect of your life...
Great hub. I never knew that most of our thoughts were negative. I thought only most of mine were negative. Your right in that we have the power to change them. God Bless you.
stars439 - We all have negative thoughts, some more than others. The good news is - we do have the power to change our thoughts. For some, it is quite easy - for others it takes daily positive affirmations. Most of all, it is the desire for change. Thank you for your comments and I am looking forward to reading yours. God bless you and keep you.
Positive Affirmations are Great! God words are Miraculous:) My favoirite affirmation is: "Action Conquers Fear!" and one of my favorite verses from the Bible has: "Choose Ye This Day, Whom You Will Serve!" This latter one, really helped me when faced with choices in life...which choice was reflective of God? It helped me to choose the better path, when faced with the fork in the road. Lovely HubPage! Really enjoyed this one, look forward to reading more of your hubs:)
Among these great inspirational affirmations, "I Enjoy Every Precious Day" has to be one of my favorite.
Every day I receive EVERYTHING that I could possibly need. Thanks for an inspirational hub.
heart4theword - So happy that you read and enjoyed my hub. Thank you for adding your affirmations. I look forward to reading yours and building a friendship with you. Live to Love!
PegCole17 - Yes, Peg - this is my favorite too because all else rests on my decision to "enjoy every precious day". Very glad you like my hub and thank you for your comment.
Live to Love -
Great thoughts and great advice! My experience with affirmations was life-changing. If you can reframe the automatic negative thoughts (ants) you have about yourself into affirmations and add them to the things you already like about yourself, then say them all twice a day for 30 days, you WILL change the way you think about yourself. It's based in research and it works. Of course, you may need professional help. But go for it. It's worth every penny.
Thanks for your beautiful hub on Positive Affirmations, vocalcoach. A positive attitude and approach to life is so powerful and your affirmations help lead the way. Keep up the good work!
epigramman - Thank you so much for your kind comment. You are obviously a very positive person with the type of successful and winning attitude we can all follow. Also, just want to say - I love your hubs!
Rob McKelvie - Thank you for your support. As a newbie on HP, your comments mean so much to me. Confirmation such as yours keeps me motivated.
VC,
I absolutely love this hub. You are absolutely right. When we change our thinking about ourselves, the world, and others, we change our lives. Everything we have, do, and are is a product of our thinking. God has given us an awesome tool to create whatever we can conceive. He allows us to determine what we do with this amazing gift. I realize that the more I focus on the positive things in life, the more productive I become and the less tolerant I become of negative energies that are offered to us on a daily basis. In addition, I am making many new friends that are like-minded in their belief of their own abilities and their roles in contributing for the greater good. Did I tell you that I absolutely love this hub! Keep churning them out my friend.
Reggie.
I can feel the love that comes from your writing. A truly great hub. I too am a devotee of positive thinking and try to cleanse my consciosness daily to allow the good to flow through. There are so few truths and so many interesting ways to express them. I was wonderng which of the affirmations were personal and original. I guess all of them that you didn't give credit to the person that originated them were yours. When you write the way you have in this hub I believe that you have reached a spiritual level where you are a conduit from the higher power that is there for all of us to connect to.
Keep up the great writing and count me as one of your biggest fans.
very affirming hub...lol great job and of course true as what you said, we can change our negatie thoughts into to positive thoughts, even if it feels strange for awhile soon it will become the norm. Keep up the encouraging!
dawnM - You are so right. After years of practicing affirmations, it comes so easily. It is much easier to remain in a positive state than a negative state. I contribute having a good sense of humor most necessary in the ability to remain positive. Thanks Dawn.
Mac Teacher - Welcome to Hubpages, my friend. It is so very nice to see you here. You have found the right vehicle for contributing your knowledge, wisdom and positive comments. We will all learn and grow from you and be better people for having done so. I especially want to thank you for your comments on my hubs and the support you offer me. It is largely because of you that I am here as a writer on Hubpages. Thankyou and looking forward to your first hub.
ReggieDo6 - I truly believe that as a child of God, I am endowed with some of the same traits as He, my Father, has. I must make the most of these gifts and acknowledge where they come from. This can only be accomplished through pure and divine love. I consider Hubpages a gift to me. I thank Him for this gift daily, through prayer and through action. I participate and support my Hub family and in doing so am repeatedly blessed by meeting people like you Reggie. I thank you deeply for your comments on my hub and ask that you be surrounded by love - by Angels.
Wow, I really loved this. I found some great new affirmations here, I have a tendancy to "slide" and forget some of mine as my day goes on because I have several lengthy ones I've been using. No more excuse now - You just gave me a great gift - Thank you!
cwarden - I am thrilled that you have found my hub to be motivating. I try every single day to come up with a new affirmation to keep things "fresh". The power of the mind is almost scary. We use so little of our potential.
Aside from how powerful affirmations are, the brain will remain youthful and refrain from aging as fast by using it in this way. Thanks so much.
Great hub on positive affirmations - most people talk and think about themselves in a way they wouldn't dream of talking to someone else, and we all need to make a more conscious effort to think positively about ourselves
CMHypno - This is so true. I never thought of it this way, but most of us tend to do this. Wish I would have mentioned your comments in my hub. It is a strong point to make. I thank you very much for sharing this. Thank you.
It is very easy for me to slip into the negative, particularly at work. I'm going to print this hub and practice these! Thank you! One of my doctors (a chiropractor) is fond of saying that we become what we think about and our thoughts are capable of changing our world.
Dink96 - Your Doctor is absolutely right. Every thing begins in the mind. Whatever we feed into it - it believes. You will overcome negativity. You have already begun by reading this hub and printing it out to practice. Changes will occur, even at work. No one can hurt you with words if you do not give them permission to do so. Stay close, Dink96. I will help you. Stay in the light...walk with power. Blessings.
I really enjoyed reading this inspiring and wonderful hub. It has lifted my spirits, Thanks
carrie450 - I just read a hub by you on a similar topic and learned how important it is to inspire others. Thanks for being a fan and supporting me with your comments. I appreciate your feedback. Peace and harmony to you carrie.
As you think so you create in reality. Always dwell on the things that you truly want and put to the back of your mind the worries and negativity. Think and create what you truly desire. It really does work. Thanks for the inspiration Vocal Coach.
acaetnna - Thank you for adding your timely comments. I do so appreciate your words of wisdom. Blessings to you.
Great write-up, fantastic concept and very much so true: positivity breeds positivity...whether it's in the workplace or in our personal lives: be positive, get positive.
Brutus Orkney - When we truly recognize how powerful the mind is, we simply need to feed it positive bits of food.
I like your "be positive, get positive."
We have a choice. Choosing to live in joy can add years to our life and life to our years.
Thank you for your positive comments. :-)
I really loved this and needed it today! I will be back to read more!
vocalcoach,
This is a very nice hub.Indeed, a positive attitude creates a positive result.Thank you.God bless.
Gee...Stan, thanks! So fantastic to see you here at "my place".
Great hub! I love walking meditations, especially near the beach or in nature and you've given me some powerful new affirmations to use.
I agree that an attitude of gratitude is essential and find it most easy to be grateful when God's beauty is all around me, just waiting to be admired, touched, smelled and heard.
Happyboomernurse - I agree with you about walking in nature when repeating affirmations. I think that the energy from nature "mixes" with our affirmations giving them more power. I love your line about God's beauty...
Thank you dear one:)
embee77 - I don't know how I missed your excellent comments. But, thank you so much for adding your own personal experience using affirmations. Wonderful!
"The power that created this world beats my heart" ,I know a business man who never says anything negative, and calls each person he meets by name !I have always admired that about him!.....Great hub here !Go girl......:-}
ahorseback - How great that you know someone with such a marvelous positive attitude. I had a beautiful friend who was just that way. Even when I was at my worst, Julie would find the best qualities in me and she loved me conditionally. How I miss her.
I'm just jumpin' for joy right now because of your motivating comments and I just thank you so much!
CMCastro Level 4 Commenter 21 months ago
This Is an excellent Hub. I hope it makes it to the top of your hubscore list! The way we start our day is the way our day will be and to start with Positive Things to say about oneself is not an act of pride or vanity, but it is a way to condition your mind to be Positive. AND acknowledging the Creator increases the Faith factor that everyone should have in life. Thanks! :o)
