Reflections from a Mirror Use positive affirmations to empower yourself. Positive affirmations are simple messages of truth that can change our lives. In just a few unassuming words, affirmations can change feelings of sadness and despair into feelings of hope and joy. Use the following exercise to incorporate positive affirmations into your daily life: Step 1 Stand or sit in front of a mirror when there are no distractions. Step 2 Spend a couple of minutes looking at your reflection. Allow your gaze to become soft, look past your physical appearance to glance within. Step 3 Speaking out loud, voice any persisting negative thoughts or problems that you have been avoiding. Step 4 In a strong, clear voice, say positive affirmations to yourself, for example: – I choose to approach all situations in my life with overflowing enthusiasm. – I will speak about joy and positivity to every person I meet. – I will think only of the highest and work only for the highest. – I will always love and support myself. In this elevated state, walk out into the world with the strong determination to spread happiness and love to all you meet. Topicsmeditation Quotes Pleasure and pain are two sides of the same coin.
