People underestimate the amount of power there is behind the words that they use. They disregard the energy behind those words, and how it is subconsciously affecting them. One of the most common negative self-talk sentences starts with “I have to”. Below are three examples that you might be guilty of saying a little too often:

I have to go to work.

I have to go to the gym.

I have to clean the house.

Now, pause for a moment and think about the energy behind “I have to”. How does that feel in your body and mind to “have to” do something? Does “having to” do something gives you the motivation you need to get the task done? This phrase makes you become a victim of your own life!

If you’re feeling guilty right now, here’s a secret tip that you can apply immediately to change the energy behind the words that you use. Instead of saying “I have to”, change it to “I get to”. Think about it for a second, wouldn’t you feel more positive and motivated changing the three statements above to the ones below?

I get to go to work (when thousands of others don’t).

I get to go to the gym (when thousands of others can’t).

I get to clean the house (when thousands of others don’t even have a house).

Of course, affirmations aren't a magic spell – they come with their own set of challenges. One biggie? Making sure your affirmations vibe with your actual beliefs. If you're spouting positivity that doesn't align with what you truly think, it's like trying to sell ice to an Eskimo. Here’s one of the most common affirmations that I personally hear people telling themselves which led them to think that affirmations are nothing but rubbish:

“I am rich.” But in reality they were broke as hell. They held the belief that they were broke and the affirmation never worked for them.

But it’s not the end of the world. The cool thing about affirmations is that you can change it to suit yourself. Instead of saying “I am rich”, try changing it to something that aligns with your beliefs, such as “I have the determination to do what it takes to become rich.”

Also, don't get too carried away. If your affirmations sound like something out of a fairy tale, you might set yourself up for disappointment. Keeping it real and setting achievable goals is the name of the game.

Another challenge is consistency. It's easy to get pumped up with positive vibes for a day or two, but maintaining that momentum is a different ball game. Life happens, and it's crucial to find ways to keep those affirmations in your routine, even when the going gets tough!

They're not a substitute for hard work or a magical fix, but rather a companion that nudges you towards a mindset conducive to growth and well-being.

As you venture forth on your journey of self-improvement, remember that affirmations are a seasoning, not the entire dish. Blend them with your unique recipe of effort, action, and a dash of realism. The magic lies not just in the words you repeat but in the intentional steps you take toward becoming the best version of yourself. So, sprinkle those positive vibes generously, but keep cooking up that storm in the kitchen of life.
