I CAN DO IT - How To Use Affirmations to Change Your Life
a book by Louise L. Hay
You can take control over your own
thinking. It’s the only thing you’ll
ever have total control of. What you
choose to think is what you’ll get in life.
I’ve chosen to think thoughts of joy and appreciation, and you can, too.
How often do you
find yourself feeling that you don’t have any control in your life? For some of you, more often than you’d
like. In I CAN DO IT, Hay writes about
how you can use affirmations to feel more in control and how to bring positive
events and experiences into your life. Her book is filled with positive
affirmations relating to different themes, with chapters on health, forgiveness, self-esteem, job success, and stress-free living.
Feeling down about yourself today?
Turn to the part on self-esteem and say or write some affirmations that
speak to you. Anxious about money? Read the section on prosperity and change
your perspective about how prosperous and rich you are.
Every positive thought brings good into your life.
It took you years to
learn the negative beliefs and thought patterns that you currently have. Taking the time and intention to focus on
what you DO want in your life is a rewarding and life-affirming practice. It isn’t always easy. You may find yourself forgetting and lapsing
into negative thoughts that your being hears and incorporates as affirmations. Practice bringing
awareness to your thoughts. If you find
yourself having negative ones, that’s okay.
Stop and look at those thoughts and ask yourself, is this how I want to
feel right now? Is this what I want to
create for myself? Tuning in and
listening to your thoughts is the beginning step in eliminating the negative
from your life.
What are your
experiences with using positive affirmations?
Do you have success stories or challenges you’d like to share?
