Positive Affirmations work toward generating a positive action from the subconscious. When there is repetition coupled with awareness, conviction, and want, positive affirmations can be very effectual. There is something peaceful about gardening -- when a person can be one with the wondrous processes of cultivating and growing living things. For me, such serene setting as gardening can foster a rooting for positive affirmations.
It was during gardening that the following thoughts came to my mind. When we make a wrong decision, we can use positive affirmations to correct our blunder. Like I read in an article once: “Why be defeated twice: once by the mistake we make, and the second time by our attitude about it?" With positive affirmations, our blunder can give way to better understanding. We can begin by saying we believe that we can avoid the commission of the same error. Choose positive affirmations that are concise and simple to remember. Repeat the words of belief and allow the awareness, conviction, and earnest desire to grow. This can be a very real concept for us, as long as there is nothing in our expression that is not factorable – like our unwillingness to put the effort required to resolve a situation, or our short timetable when we believe our desired result is unreasonably delayed.
In my 61 years of life, I discovered that I could employ the principle of positive affirmations if I could attach a spiritual concept to whatever difficulties I face. Gardening is one of those moments when ponderous thoughts find their way to my mind. What do you think will work for you?
