the concept of positive affirmations

Ironically, it’s so easy to spot the negativity that others are spewing, yet we’re deaf to our own acerbic words (and thoughts). My mother once alerted me to my own negative self-talk and asked me to count how many times I chastised or criticized myself in a day. I lost count after reaching 3 figures.

Now I also included my thoughts but even my declarations were filled with self-doubt and blame. The underlying message: At one point in my life I just did not feel worthy, and my affirmations reflected this lack of self-worth.

I finally realized that these messages did not necessarily reflect the truth. They did not accurately depict who I was. But a rolling snowball can get bigger and dangerous as it rolls downhill, so it’s so important to stop the downhill spiral of our destructive, anti-self words.

In the Manifestation Miracle, Heather Mathews reviews the concept of positive affirmations and outlines how to harness its power.
