Using Positive Affirmations To Dissolve Stress

Affirmations are a simple and powerful way to bring positive energy into your life. What exactly is an affirmation? Think of what it means to affirm something- you are acknowledging it and declaring it to be true. Positive affirmations are sentences used to bring focus to what areas of our life we would like to magnetize. With repetition, these simple phrases become part of our conscious and subconscious mind, allowing us to gain control over how we think, feel, act, and react. You can scan tons of affirmations online for all different purposes, or write your own for a more personal touch.

<-- Watch me explain how they have worked for me and why they are an incredible tool for retraining the way your mind responds to stress.

Divine Support and Guidance:

I trust the universe to propel me towards all opportunities and awarenesses that are in my highest good.

This is a great example of short, sweet, and effective. It immediately calms you down and releases a lot of the stress felt towards the future. Simply repeat it to yourself daily for an increased sense of peace and wellbeing.

Below I get a little more creative and create energetic poem-like pieces for my own spiritual work. The rhyming provides a rhythm for me that almost feels like I am supercharging the intention.

Spring Mantra and New Moon Prayer:

I embrace the spring, and greet the new moon
I am filled with its color, ready to bloom
Welcome back, forest and flower
Welcome back, my highest power.
Join me and teach me, set me free
I am open to the miracles awaiting me
Return of the sun, invoke thy light
Shine on me and enhance my sight.
Renew my heart, renew my soul
Release all that has taken its toll
Please bless my life, and all around
Keep my mind and body sound.
