Affirmations are a powerful way to help change our lives for the better. One way to use them is to help reverse negative beliefs we have about ourselves that are simply not true, yet these false beliefs shape the course of our lives. Let’s say you have a belief that you’re not good enough. This belief may have come about because someone important in your life said that you couldn’t do something, and you decided they were right. The problem results when this thought pattern or belief prevents you from your true potential. If you changed that belief to “I am worthy of success” and recited or wrote these words down every day, believing them, those feelings of inadequacy will lessen. Your behavior will start to change too.
“Every self-limiting thought that you employ to explain why you’re not living life to the absolute fullest —so you’re feeling purposeful, content, and fully alive—is something you can challenge and reverse, regardless of how long you’ve held that belief and no matter how rooted in tradition, science, or life experience it may be,” said internationally renowned author and speaker, Dr. Wayne Dyer in his book, Excuses Begone. We can help challenge and reverse those negative, longstanding beliefs by saying affirmations.
Below are affirmations to help train your mind to think differently. They fall under various virtues so you can strengthen a particular virtue in your life. For example, if you are struggling with feelings of self-doubt, you can choose an affirmation under the virtue of confidence.
