PAGE 20 - AFFIRMATIONS .....Here are a few suggestions on how to use affirmations. 1. Affirmations should be short. 2. Affirmations should be stated in the present, as if they have already happened. 3. They should be repeated twice, with a pause in between. 4. They should always be a positive statement, "I'm healthy" rather than "I'm not sick." 5. The more relaxed you are the better. You can say affirmations as you go about your daily work. But when you have the time, find a comfortable, quiet place where you can sit, relax and close your eyes. Try to relax your whole body. Relax your forehead, jaw, arms and so forth. Take a deep breath through your nose and let it out slowly through your mouth. Take another deep breath the same way, only this time hold your breath at the top of the full inhalation for three counts, then let it out slowly through your mouth. (This accesses both sides of the brain.) You are now ready to begin. |
