Kick Out Head Trash -
Bring In Positive Affirmations
I am a firm believer in “You are what you attract.” If you find that you
continue to attract the same type of negative friends, unfulfilling
relationships, drama, bad luck, negative energy, unrewarding career,
bad health, poor physical image, etc, then I bet you are spending a lot
of time telling yourself that you do. I have seen this over and over in
many of my clients.
If you want to be thin and look in the mirror and all you see if flab then
you will continue to be flabby. If you want to attract a loving relationship
and you keep reminding yourself that all the good ones are taken, they
will be – by somebody else. If you feel as if the dark cloud of bad luck
has taken permanent stake over your head then Murphy’s Law will
continue to rain down on you.
This line of thinking becomes habit quickly. The good news is that it
can be broken and quickly by replacing the negative head trash with
positive affirmations. Break the cycle before it breaks you. How long
can you afford not to?
Affirmations are not in the future tense such as “I will be thin.” They are
in the present tense as in “I am thin!”
Replace Head Trash with Your Own Personal
Affirmation List
1. Make a list of everything you want to happen in your life. ie: Find a
loving relationship, get a new job, make new friends, stop being angry,
react better in a crisis, etc. Be specific. Precede every statement with “I
am” of “I have.” ie: I am in a job that allows me to grow my creative
talents. I am in love with a man who loves and respects me.
2. Make a list of every negative thing you want to stop doing and next
to it write down what positive thing you are doing when you are
doing the opposite. ie: I want to stop yelling at my children – I am living
in harmony with my children in an environment of trust and respect. I
want to stop feeling alone and sad all the time – I have trusted
relationships with people who share my values and I enjoy.
3. Combine the list from #1. with the positive statements from #2.
4. Type up your list in an easy to read format and read it twice a
day. Place it where you will see it in the morning and in the evening.
Keep the list in your desk for when you are feeling particularly stressed
to remind yourself of your new vision before the old head trash comes
flooding back. Keep it in your car and in your purse. You may get
creative with your list and cut out pictures or sketch images or attach
colors to go with each affirmation. The important thing is to read it as
much as possible.
5. If there is a particular area of your life where you want to focus
such as health, relationships, new career, then write a list of 10
affirmations for that specific area. ie: I am thin. I am eating healthy
foods. I am exercising every day. I am spending time with other health
conscious people. I am reading health conscious materials. etc.
In have watched people who regularly use positive affirmations go from
being single to finding the love of their life, from overweight to healthy
and active, from a dead end job to an open ended career, from debt to
a financial plan, from fatigue to high energy.
