The Most Powerful (Simple and Direct) Affirmations You Will Ever Need
You don't have to be complicated when writing out affirmations, either. The truth is that the more direct and straightforward you are, the more transformative they can be in your life.
Of course, being clear and specific is helpful, but sometimes we need to be gentle with ourselves and transform ourselves from the bottom up. We need to offer ourselves compassion and patience in our growth. Using the root of affirmations can sometimes be the most effective way to evolve and do so in many that are long-lasting and forever healing.
I am
Simply stating I am is a solid force to let the Universe know that you are here. It is confident and humble in its' directness and allows for room for you to, of course, adds to that statement. Upon waking up in the morning or during stressful times, taking a deep breath and saying the words I am can be all you need to ground yourself and get on with your day in an easy yet life-changing way.
I feel
When we say, I feel we acknowledge our emotions and the sensations they make within our minds and bodies. This acknowledgment is powerful enough alone that it doesn't need to be followed by anything else, but can when we need to be in touch with our hearts and our ability to be vulnerable and open with the Universe. By saying this aloud, we allow our emotions to flow through our bodies instead of getting trapped inside.
I believe
If we wish to ignite our courage and our imaginations, we need to believe. Belief in ourselves, in each other, and our futures helps connect us with the Universe and everyone around us. Saying I believe allows that vibration to connect and flow through your body. When you also expand on that thought, you allow yourself to be open to new possibilities and change negative beliefs into positive ones.
I accept
The moment we accept our reality is the moment we have genuine compassion and love for ourselves. Acceptance doesn't come easy for some and often comes with a price of long-term growth and awareness. However, when we speak aloud, I accept, you admit that you are in flow with the Universe and are willing to let go of black and white thinking. It is humbling and allowing you to be a student rather than taking on a stereotype of a punishing parent.
I allow
Probably one of the most potent affirmations, to begin with, is saying I allow. Allowing is about setting healthy boundaries and understanding some limitations that need to be developed and some that need to be more open. Often, our unwillingness to allow any kind of change or transformation in our lives holds us back. Say I allow as a daily affirmation by itself will help you begin to open your mind and heart to the change you need to make in a comfortable way for you. Add on more meaning to that statement as your comfort allows and accepts.
I trust
The hardest part of affirmations is saying the words I trust. In order to feel trust, we must strengthen all of our other beliefs and thoughts. Trust takes time to build, so it will not come easy to say this statement, whether alone or with added thoughts. Once we have accepted this and allowed it into our lives and fully integrated it into our bodies, we move forward into self-love and compassion.
I love
At the heart of our affirmations is our capacity to love ourselves and each other. When we say aloud, I love we are acknowledging how we feel, how we believe, how we accept and allow, and how we trust. Ultimately, love is the core of who we are. When we add on to that statement is the moment we step into feelings of unconditional love and Universal growth.
Conclusion
Affirmations change the way we view and interact with the world. They don't have to be complicated to be effective. In fact, when we boil them down to their simplistic terms and focus on the root of each statement, we can do much growth from within without having to make it more complex than it needs to be.
