When you are feeling good about yourself, it's easy to send your subconscious mind positive messages. But when times are tough, it's even easier to send messages of doubt, anger and fear. Learning to use affirmations on a daily basis is one of the best ways to maintain an anti-aging mind.
Let the Children Lead You
To understand the power of a positive attitude on the aging process, all you have to do is look at children. We are born in a positive mental state of mind but, let's face it, life is tough at times.
As children we suffer pain and sorrow but spring back to a place of optimism and love. As we age, with that same pain and sorrow, we can fall into despair and anguish. The opportunity to return to optimism and love is still possible when we change our attitude.
Louise Hay, one of the foremost proponents of positive thinking and daily affirmations, cautions that a change to the positive side doesn't happen overnight. She calls this "resistance."
It's human nature to resist change and depending on how
many years you have been living on the dark side,
you can be quite resistant to optimism and joy.
Practice Makes Positive
Practicing daily affirmations is really a misnomer. Because every though we have and every word we speak is an affirmation. Children think and speak of hope, dreams and visions of a world and life that is grand and exciting. Even when their lives aren't necessarily easy, their future always holds magical possibilities.
Psychology Professors Brandon J. Schmeichel at Texas A&M University and Kathleen Vohs at the University of Minnesota have studied the power of affirmations. They suggest to us that willpower is like a muscle that supports and strengthens how we perceive our self. From their studies, Schmeichel's and Vohs' concluded that positive self affirmations counteract ego depletion and change the way we think about tasks and goals.
In other, words, you have the power if you have the will
to move mountains or be crushed by them.
Exercise Your Positive Power
Louise Hays says that by slowing down and doing the homework of daily positive affirmations, you can tap into a higher spiritual source.
Daily positive affirmations are exercise for the mind. You may encounter aches and pains caused by releasing daily negative affirmations. But how else are you expected to move that aging mountain that has been crushing your spirit?
Using affirmation cards is a great way to send powerful messages to
yourself and reawaken the spirit of your inner child.
