We are what we believe is a popular statement that we hear every time. The kind of person that we are now is because of the beliefs that we had been carrying with us for all these years. The kind of a future that we would have going forward is also determined by the kind of thoughts that we maintain and nurture within ourselves in our present moment. So this looks easy right? But can we sustain our beliefs at all times? That is the biggest challenge. Let us look more into this.
Suppose I affirm to myself every day that I am a fluent and confident speaker. But then during my day when I get an opportunity to speak, I hesitate to speak and thereby decline the opportunity that I get. So here I am going against what I am supposed to believe. Let us look at another example. Suppose a person affirms that he is a happy person but then every day he enters into some arguments with his colleagues on a specific sensitive topic and gets emotionally low. So here also this person is going against his beliefs of being a happy person. Practicing affirmations helps a person to change their thinking to a specific desired result. But the person should feel it within himself on what he is affirming. He should believe in it and trust it to the fullest. By doing so, he would observe small changes happening every day that brings him closer and closer to his reality. However, if a person mechanically utters some affirmations without focusing on what he is actually saying then these statements would have very less impact on his mind. Even worse is when he encounters situations that are opposite to what he actually affirms and he starts participating in them without being mindful and realizing what he is actually doing.
Listing down our goals and working towards them every day is a very good way to get closer and closer to where we want to reach. It is not necessary that we need to practice Affirmations for many hours each day. This is not possible for anyone since there are a lot of worldly tasks that every person needs to take care of every day. However, practicing for a few minutes every day and believing in what we are looking to achieve by living in that moment is a better way to reach the point where we actually desire to be.
