Affirmations: Seeds of Your Power and a New Life Script
In the world of psychology, there are many self-help tools, but affirmations are often perceived as either magic or something trivial. However, looking deeper, they are a powerful mechanism for reprogramming our internal "script."
The MriyaRun team has analyzed the key principles of working with affirmations (based on the "Cycles of Power" concept), and we want to share how to make this tool truly effective.
What Is an Affirmation, Really?
It’s not just a "positive phrase." It is a supportive message we consciously choose to replace old, negative injunctions. Throughout life, we’ve accumulated many prohibitions that diminish our abilities. An affirmation is a demand to reclaim the power that belongs to us by birthright. By repeating new messages, we begin to take charge of our own minds.
Why Does It Work on a Physical Level?
Supportive affirmations are so powerful that they can even affect physiology: heart rate and breathing. When we give ourselves "permission" to be ourselves, our nervous system releases chronic stress. This impacts the deepest, most primal levels of our lives.
Permissions We Need
Here are a few examples of affirmations that serve as "seeds of power" for your development:
- "It’s okay to be angry" (permission to feel).
- "I can change!" (permission to grow).
- "I am a significant person, and other people are important too" (the basis for healthy relationships).
- "I am worthy of love."
- "It’s normal for me to feel what I feel."
Landmarks of Success: How to Rewrite Your Script?
Changing a life plan doesn't happen with one stroke of a pen. You can't become Picasso in a day, just as you can't instantly learn to manage anger without guilt. It requires time and energy.
A few important reminders from MriyaRun for your journey:
- You can do it. You are capable of solving your problems. It is truly possible.
- You already know everything. Inside each of us is basic knowledge of what we need at every level. Trust your inner expert.
- Start thinking. Decide to turn on your brain. You are not only a feeling being but a thinking one as well.
- Create a safe environment. Growth requires: a safe environment, appropriate boundaries, and plenty of love.
