If you’re wondering whether affirmations work, let this post be your proof that they do. In fact, this entire blog is fueled by caffeine and positive affirmations and your presence here already speaks volumes.
Even though we haven’t met, you’re reading this post, seeking inspiration for your fresh start, and that’s a connection we share.
Blogging is a new beginning for me, just like a new career, new opportunity or a new love may be for you. So I understand, that new beginnings can be scary. Regardless, both of us are embracing the challenge and seeking out our successes.
However, to help with our endeavors, I’ve compiled a list of new beginnings affirmations for all occasions. So, I hope you find something here to inspire you.
But either way, you’re doing fantastic, and I appreciate you being part of my journey.
What are affirmations?
Affirmations are powerful, and hopefully, positive statements that we repeat to ourselves, even if we might not fully believe them from the start. They are words or phrases that we say regularly, with the hope of speaking them into existence.
By saying positive affirmations regularly, we hope to change our thoughts and start believing in them. Over time, this helps us make those positive things happen in our lives.
For many, affirmations serve as a daily dose of encouragement, shaping our thoughts and attitudes toward success, relationships, personal growth, or any topic of your choosing.
The end goal?
Become the best versions of ourselves.
How to embrace the power of positive affirmations
Embracing the power of positive affirmations involves speaking to yourself with kindness and belief, reinforcing a positive mindset.
Realistically, the idea of positive affirmations is not new. We have all been told, “You can do it!” by our childhood coach or “You’ve got this!” by our friends. However, as we get older, it seems that people stop rooting for us as much as they did when we were kids. Life becomes a competition. Everyone is trying to keep up with the Joneses and doesn’t have time to stop and pat you on the back.
You get a Facebook like, at best.
Due to this, we need to adjust our perspectives. We need to transition from the expectation of having cheerleaders to being our own biggest and loudest cheerleaders in the room.
So, begin by choosing affirmations that resonate with your goals and aspirations. Instead of a generic “You can do this!” try, “You can do this because you are stronger and more capable than you realize.”
Doesn’t that have a better ring to it?
Repeat these affirmations consistently, allowing them to soak into your consciousness and influence your thoughts. As you make positive affirmations a regular part of your routine, you’ll discover the transformative power they hold in shaping your mindset and paving the way for a more optimistic and fulfilling life.
But how exactly do affirmations work
I am not a psychologist, but I will share the information I have gathered for myself, and suggest you read this article on positive daily affirmations and the science behind them.
The goal of positive affirmations is to reshape your thought patterns through repetition. According to research, MRI evidence suggests increased neural activity, particularly in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex associated with positive valuation and self-related information processing, during self-affirmation tasks (Cascio et al., 2016). This means that by consistently affirming positive statements, you’re creating new pathways in your brain leading to a more optimistic perspective.
Understanding that positive affirmations have a neurological basis not only supports the idea that they are effective but also roots their efficacy in concrete scientific principles rather than mere magic, as some people may claim.
Why affirmations can help new beginnings
Starting something new, whether it’s a job, a business opportunity, or a relationship, can be tough. There’s excitement at the beginning, moments of confidence, and a clear vision of what lies ahead.
However, as time goes by, the journey is often not as smooth as we all anticipated, and that’s where positive affirmations come in. Obstacles arise on any path, and they might knock us down before we even begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
In short, there’s a lot to learn which can make us doubt our abilities to achieve our goals. However, positive affirmations act as a tool to combat any limiting beliefs we may have.
Affirmations offer the reassurance needed to face the unknown, helping us overcome challenges and embrace the opportunities that come with new beginnings.
Integrating affirmations into your daily routine
To incorporate positive affirmations into your daily routine, start your day by reciting affirmations that align with your goals and aspirations. I like to have 1 to 2 of my favorite ones written out on a Post-it to return to throughout the day.
Whenever doubt or negativity arises, revisit your affirmations to realign your focus.
