How to use positive affirmations

How Positive Affirmations Can Improve Your Life And Wellbeing

The dictionary defines affirmations as, “statements, which affirm something to be true.” In simple terms, positive affirmations are positive phrases, which you repeat to yourself and which describe how you want to be.

Think positive

The theory of this practice dictates that when you repeat affirmations as if they were already a reality (when they are not) the message seeps deep into the subconscious mind, so you really start to believe them, and eventually they will become your reality. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

5 Good Reasons To Find Your “Why”

Find your purpose, follow your passion and determine your why

 

You need to find your purpose, they say…

 

You need to follow your passion, they say…

 

You need to determine your “why”, they say …

 

But sometimes it isn’t all that easy. It’s not easy to figure out exactly what your “why” is. Sometimes we feel stuck and we’re not even sure what our purpose and passion are, let alone follow them.

 

And sometimes we know exactly what we would like to be doing, but circumstances don’t allow it. There are bills to be paid, a family to take care of, and that company-funded health insurance sure comes in handy with a couple of rambunctious toddlers in the house.

Are You Excitedly Jumping Out Of Bed In The Morning?

Find Your Purpose And Passion

Do you excitedly jump out of bed in the morning, ready to face the day and get to work? Or are you lying in bed after the alarm goes off, dreading to have to face another day, another trip to the office were you spend 8 hours plus doing what you have to do just so you can pay your bills?

 

Waking up with dread in the morning, doesn’t sound like a lot of fun and isn’t how I want to live my life. I’m willing to bet you don’t either.

What makes the difference is having a purpose and finding your passion. Do that and all of a sudden you can’t wait to jump out of bed in the morning. You can’t wait to get to work and you think about what you’re doing well past 5pm.

When you’re following your passion and are making a difference in people’s lives, work isn’t just work. It’s something fulfilling and exciting that you look forward to doing.

Love what you do for a living

How To Find Your Life Purpose

Finding Your Life Purpose: Questions to Ask Yourself

Do you know how to find your life purpose? If you posed that question to several people, the majority would likely answer no. It’s because there is a world of possibilities. People are afraid to try something new out of fear of the unknown. They often don’t know how to go about looking for what they should be doing.

You first need to ask if what you are doing now is satisfying. Put aside the bills and your paycheck for a moment. Do you get a charge out of getting up every morning to go to work? How do you feel on Sunday evenings, assuming you start up work on Mondays? Do you dread having to get up in the morning on Monday, or does it excite you?
