The Power of Affirmations: How to Use Them to Shape Your Reality

Your thoughts create your reality. This is a powerful statement that has been proven time and time again. The way you think about yourself, others, and the world around you directly affects your actions. If you want to change your life for the better, start by changing the way you think. One of the best ways to do this is by using affirmations. Affirmations are short, positive statements that allow you to consciously control your thoughts. When you say them or think them, they become the thoughts that shape your reality.

If you’re new to using affirmations, it’s important to start small. Choose one or two affirmations that you want to focus on and repeat them to yourself throughout the day. Place them on your bathroom mirror, phone screen saver, or a post-it note on your desk. The more you see them, the more likely you are to repeat them.

It may take some time to get used to thinking positively about yourself, but once you do, you’ll be amazed at how much your life changes for the better. As you get more comfortable with using affirmations, you can add more to your daily routine. The key is to be consistent with your affirmations and to believe the statements you are speaking are your truth.

As we are currently navigating Cancer Season, we wanted to provide affirmations that focus on self-love and healing:

• I own who I am and the power I hold within. I take up the space I deserve.
• I am open and willing to live my life in new ways. The universe has a plan greater than mine.
• I learn the way on the way. My emotional pain shows me what needs to change.
• I am calm in the chaos. I stay hopeful and optimistic in the difficult situations.
• I have gratitude for this profound journey of self-awareness and discovery I am embarking upon.

Which affirmation speaks to you the most? Write it down, say it out loud, and make it a part of your daily routine. Remember, as you focus on positive affirmations, you are actively shaping your reality. Cancer season is a time for rebirth and regeneration. By using affirmations, we can set the intention for how we want to feel and the life we want to align to.
