Affirmations
Using affirmations is a great way to affirm the things that you desire or your goals. Affirmations are considered to be positive statements that can help you condition your line of thinking and will help you to think and have more positive thoughts. It is also a great way to help change an existing negative thought about something that you want to shift into more of a positive thought.
When you visualize and focus on your desires and goals, it is important to get into the habit of mentally seeing the things that you are hoping for. There are many tools that you can use to help you focus on your goals such as prayers and scriptures etc. In addition to prayers and scriptures that ties into having faith and hope towards your goals, it is helpful to get into the habit of seeing the things that you hope for in your mind first.
Being able to focus and see yourself achieving your goals and seeing yourself with the things that you desire in your imagination is the first step of activating your faith.
“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Hebrews 11:1
Visualization is nothing more than seeing things in your mind that you hope for before it becomes a reality.
The scripture above is the true power of faith. We tend to get caught up in the evidence of things seen first. If we do not see the success in our reality first, then we will not believe it. The best thing that we can do in the present moment while in expectation of what is desired, we can use our imagination to hope for the things that we desire.
Right now are you suffering physically? If so, have you took the time to see yourself healed and feeling better? Not enough money to pay your bills? Are you focused on the lack of the money and the bills or could you instead see yourself living abundantly with your bills paid? God has given us free will and for some reason by default, unfortunately, we tend to get caught up in focusing on what we do not want instead.
The next time you find yourself having negative thoughts about what you do not want, find a way to reverse those thoughts with positive thoughts associated with what you do want.
If you can believe the things that you see in your imagination which you have already prayed and have faith for and you constantly keep your mind on that vision despite your current circumstances, this is an example of you displaying your faith in belief of the things that you hope for.
When you desire something and you are constantly in fear that what you pray about will not come to pass, then more than likely, you will have thoughts about what you do not want. You will then have feelings most likely of not feeling good in the absence of what you want. This is when stress and worry occurs which never feels good in the end.
When we operate in negative emotions, we open ourselves up to dis-ease in our bodies which manifests into disease.
A book that I recommend is: You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hayes.
It is a really great book because it breaks down how negative emotions manifest into different dis-eases in our body or diseases.
This book allows you to look up emotions in order to understand what types of diseases manifests from negative emotions.
I believe once we are aware of the dangers of negative emotions, it can help create a positive journey to self healing which is really important.
So when we truly understand the damage of negative thoughts and focusing on what we do not want, it is important to focus on what we do want. Keep in mind, what you think about, you tend to bring about. So keep your mind on good thoughts according to God’s words.
If you find yourself getting off track and negative emotions are getting the best of you. I would highly recommend 2 books that can help with negative emotions.
The Battlefield of the Mind is a great book as it explains the enemies strategies and how he uses negative thoughts and emotions to control our life which ultimately will mislead us from our God given destiny. It teaches you an understanding of that and how to put on the full armor of God to help defeat the enemy and his sinister strategies on our mind which is a spiritual war in other words.
The Power of God’s Words is another recommendation that I highly recommend which allows you to look up scriptures to help replace negative emotions or feelings you may have that you can recite or affirm. This is a great way to combat negative thoughts and fears especially when it comes to our goals and desires when we are trying to stand strong in faith.
When you visualize what you want, you are focusing on your desires and your goals. When you are focusing on your desires and goals, you are feeling good. When we are feeling good about our goals and desires, we are in alignment with God and our true purpose that God has for us etc.
Aiming for development thru visualization and affirmations will ensure that you reach your goals with each step you take. When you meditate, you are able to get into a quiet place with intention of focusing on your goals.
There are several ways that you can meditate. You can listen to self guided meditations that helps you to focus on an accomplished goal.
Meditating and focusing on your goals also enables you to feel like the person you want to become. It also gives you the opportunity to go into your imagination state to see and feel the new you in action before it becomes your reality.
What does the new you look like with your accomplished goal? How do you feel having your goal or desire? Feel that emotion and go into your imagination daily and create affirmation statements that connects with your vision.
As you imagine your goals on a daily basis, do things in your current reality that connects with progression towards your goals. Make every effort to let stress go and to put action behind your goals. Remember, faith without works is dead.
In fact, according to the Bible, it tells us not to worry about the anxieties of the world, to not fear, and to have faith. Do not worry so much about the how, the how will be revealed to you. Your initial job is to have faith and believe. Let go of any worries or fears and keep a mental image in your mind of your future you.
Vision boards are great tools to use to keep you focused on your goals and to stay in remembrance of them all. It is always good to keep several vision boards around you that represents multiple goals in your life.
Make it a daily habit to meditate, affirm, and visualize your goals on a daily basis. Make an intention to implement this practice into your daily schedule preferably in the morning and before you go to bed.
It is also important to get into the practice of showing gratitude on a daily basis as well. Journal about being grateful about at least 5 things everyday. Having gratitude is showing appreciation to God for the things that you have and it also open doors for more things to be grateful for.
When you are keeping your mind on positive thoughts, having faith in your goals and desires, having gratitude, and walking in love, it helps you to tap into your divine hidden strengths & treasures within you. This process will also help you build self confidence and self healing etc.
Life is too short to keep putting off our goals, desires, and self-development. As an alternative, take action today and meditate to use your visualization skills and affirmations to help accomplish your goals etc.
