You may not understand the extent to which the things you say influence your thoughts and actions, but they do. Because of the interrelated nature of your ideas, words, and actions, they all have the ability to impact one another. For instance, when you don’t feel confident, you can use phrases like “I’ll try,” “I hope,” or “I wish.” These are all examples of wishful thinking. On the other hand, employing certain terms might make you feel less assured of yourself.
This also indicates that you might increase your self-assurance by utilising particular phrases, such as “I will.” Saying something like “I will change careers” or “I will complete this project by the end of this month” will make you feel more confident than saying something like “I hope I can change careers” or “I’ll try to complete this project by the end of this month.” For example, saying “I will change careers” or “I will complete this project by the end of this month” will make you feel more confident. Terms that convey self-doubt should be replaced with words that convey confidence, as seen in the examples below. This can help you become more confident.
Words that should not be used:
- Would/could/should/might
- Try/hope/wish
- Maybe/perhaps
- Providing that everything is well, assuming that everything goes smoothly.
Words that should be used in its place:
- I will Definitely
- Without a Doubt
- Of course
- Sure
- Undeniably
- Without a Doubt
The effectiveness of making encouraging statements to oneself.
Affirmations positive are statements or phrases that are repeated to oneself on a frequent basis until the subconscious mind accepts them as real. They assist you train your mind over time to feel good emotions such as appreciation and confidence. You may find further information on how to train your mind in the next part, which is titled “Conditioning your mind.”
How to make use of affirmations that are positive
- It is preferable to speak in the present tense rather than the future tense (“I am” rather than “I shall”).
- Try to steer clear of phrases such as “I am not bashful.” Use the phrase “I am confident” instead.
- For the next five minutes, you are going to repeat the statement again and over.
- Perform this task each and every day without fail for at least one month, and ideally for much longer than that.
- At the same moment, engage your emotions by visualising what you want to happen.
Several examples of effective statements of affirmation
- I take pride in my self-assurance.
- I am not influenced by the positive or negative views of other people.
- I am not under anybody, and therefore, nobody is below me.
- I love you (insert your name here and say it aloud while staring into your own eyes in the mirror; for example, “I love you, Thibaut”) Awkward, isn’t it?
- Thank you.
Devote at least five minutes of each day to practising positive affirmation. Keep an eye out for phrases that reveal a lack of commitment, lack of confidence, or lack of aggressiveness. Before you send any emails, be sure to go through them and get rid of any unnecessary terms like “I’ll try,” “I should,” “I hope,” and so on. Replace them with “I will” or another statement that has the same level of assertiveness. You should set a goal for yourself to refrain from using terms that convey a lack of self-assurance over the next three weeks.
