How We Use Sounds For Daily Affirmations

By Joury Farah


In order to feel good about ourselves, our lives, and our circumstances, it's necessary to consciously feel appreciation for them. The most effective way to feel appreciative is to use positive self talk, which can be done with daily positive affirmations.From the time we're small children, throughout our adult lives, we hear messages about ourselves. These messages might be positive, or they could be destructive. Kids who grow up hearing "you'll never amount to anything," tend to believe what they hear, and then work to fulfill the identity they hold for themselves. On the converse, children who hear positive messages about themselves tend to fulfill those identities as well.

Some people use daily affirmations to help them find the confidence to face the day. These are, after all, sounds in another format. Everything we hear is sound. It's the meaning we attach to it that causes our emotions to run high or to flatten out to a tranquil state. So to find those sounds that have the best effect is essential to finding affirmations that work.Have you ever heard how it doesn't matter what you say to a baby because it's the tone in which you say it? This has the same effect on us if we can't understand what the meaning behind the words is. I remember hearing a beautifully intoned phrase in German and thinking it must be something beautiful. It turned out to mean "we're having some really shocking weather".

If you're ready to start feeling more positive about yourself, it's simple. Select a handful of positive affirmations, look in the mirror, and repeat them to yourself. You can do this in the morning before you leave the house, and again, before you end your day. Examples might be:I am creative, intelligent, and attractive, and I enjoy a wonderful circle of friends.My talents are noticed and appreciated by my peers.I walk boldly and confidently into new situations and I make friends easily.I meet every challenge with grace and creativity.

Affirmations, like any personal growth exercise, take repeated practice. In order to feel differently, you must think differently. Affirmations allow you to think about yourself in a new way. Positive affirmations are like a reset button, allowing you to dismiss the thoughts or beliefs that don't enrich your vision of who you are.

Men are expected, by most people, to be strong and commanding in virtually all aspects of their life. Have you ever wondered how some of these men seem to stand out among their peers? The use of positive daily affirmations is the most likely reason for this. By using and practicing these affirmation tips, men in today's society are more in control of everything around them. Here are some tips to help make positive daily affirmations work for any man that you may know.

So if there is only one thing you do to make yourself feel better, make time to listen to music. Personally I have recorded the sounds of the sea lapping the beach at Rocky Bay in Co. Cork, Ireland and this gives me great comfort when I am holed up in my city address and in need of the freedom of the countryside. If you can organize yourself enough then repeat some positive statements aloud or silently as you listen to the music or sounds. Most of all, find the opportunity to surround yourself with sounds as daily affirmations.Does any of the above sound familiar to you? Don't be surprised if you've thought one or all of those statements at one time or another. In today's society we are programmed to focus on the things we are unhappy with and the things that we wish would change. Unfortunately, this mindset leads to negative thinking, and these kinds of thoughts can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Many people are starting to realize that to change their lives they first need to change their thoughts; this is where positive daily affirmations come in.

A few decades ago, television advertising gurus decided to work on subliminal messages. You would be happily watching a show on the television and a picture of a hamburger from a major chain would pop up on the screen and go away so fast that the mind wouldn't even register that it happened. However, the subconscious mind did see it. Your subconscious could take that picture and dwell on it, causing your active mind to crave that hamburger. Actively, you never knew where you got the idea from in the first place, you just knew it was something you wanted and craved. Positive daily affirmations are the same way. They sit in your subconscious mind, where they slowly spread to the rest of your mind.

Positive affirmations work by the power of thought, and the power of thought plays a large influence on our lives. Many of the extremely successful people today operate with daily affirmations, and you can too. You are the only limit to your dreams; only you can create the reality you want.

A good set of positive daily affirmations will also help bring joy and relaxation in your life without you even having to open a book or attend a seminar. You will have set up an arsenal that will fight off the less than good things that happen around you and put a more positive thing on it. This means that you only see what is good in life and the area around you, thus giving you more control over things that you thought were unregulated. As you subconsciously have a more positive attitude about things, you will begin to notice that things do actually begin to change. This is due to the fact that you are so happy and positive with your positive daily affirmations that your confidence level goes up, which in turn causes you to begin to see things more positively with your active eye. As your outlook becomes more positive, your interactions with the world around you will change, becoming more positive also. The more positive you are, the more life in general will work on making things better for you. This is called the "law of attraction." Keep watching closely and you will see what the law of attraction is about, but that is for a different article.

As you can see, there is much more to positive daily affirmations than just reading a few "feel good" books. You must understand that all of the work takes place in your subconscious mind, and that they require no further overt help from you. When the affirmations seep into your mind, your mind will do the rest, causing you to see the results but not have to work so hard for them. That is how your positive daily affirmations will help you change the world, one mind at a time.
