Positive Affirmations for Negative Thoughts
Reprogramming negative thoughts using positive affirmations for success and happiness
For using positive affirmations, we need to identify the thoughts and believes that need to change. For reprogramming negative thoughts take one sheet of paper and write down all your problems, thoughts and patterns of negative beliefs about your self that prevent your success and happiness, such as...
- I think negative thoughts
- I am depressed
- I am overweight
- I don't have any money
- I am ugly
- I hate my job
- I am lonely
- I am stupid
- I am confused
- I am stuck in life
- I am on the wrong path
Now take a separate sheet of paper for problem solving using positive affirmations, and then rewrite your negative beliefs and thoughts. Rewrite your beliefs and thoughts how you would like them to be for your happiness and success. For instance, "I am depressed" would become, "I am happy". "I am overweight" would become something like, "I have a successful diet and exercise plan". Then you have a list like...
- I use positive affirmations
- I enjoy success and happiness
- I have a successful diet and exercise plan
- Abundance freely flows into my life
- I like myself. I am wonderful and beautiful
- I love my job
- I experience true Love
- I am loveable and made perfect in Love
- I have clarity
- I am in the process of positive change
- I am on the right path
Now read this second list 3 times with a lot of feeling like it is true for you. Then find the statements in the positive affirmations that you have difficulty in believing about your self, such as "I am happy" for instance. What negative thoughts are stopping you from believing that this is true? Then you find another layer of negative thoughts to add to you negative thinking list such as...
- It is impossible for me to be happy
- I have tried being happy many times but I have failed
- I am cursed
- I can't be happy in my job
- Nobody loves me
- There is something wrong with me
- I just hate myself too much
Now you have to rephrase and rewrite this negative thinking adding it to your positive thoughts and affirmations list for success, such as...
- My true nature is happiness
- I have permission to be happy now
- I am blessed
- I find a new happy loving job
- Everybody loves me
- I am perfect
- I love myself
Remember that what you are thinking on grows. That is why it is important to rid you mind of any negative thinking. During this exercise you will discover that most of your negative thinking is not actually true. Make sure what you are thinking on is always positive. You always have the choice to either live in the negative or the positive. Any negative thought can be replaced with a positive one.
Just the process of identifying your deep seated negative thoughts is enough to heal you and make you more successful. After spending time doing this exercise, take the negative thoughts list, go outside and burn it- so that it no longer exists any more. Then re-read the new list of positive affirmations for success, at least 11 times when you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed at night. Your thoughts create your life.
