Affirmations and Beauty

[dbj6417]

Affirmations are powerful words and phrases which can change a person.
How many of you practice positive affirmations daily?
Does it impacts or changes you?
What if we have affirmations printed on clothes? Does it impacts other people?

Your thoughts please?

Are you studying marketing or something?

Wearing affirmations written on your clothes is a sure-fired way of getting ridiculed - so yeah, it impacts other people by giving them fits of giggling and eye-rolling.

I don't practice daily affirmations but I do do some CBT exercises aimed at countering negative thinking - for instance, try driving to work without criticizing any other driver or yourself. That's a toughie for me.

Good Thoughts Daisy.

It's not about marketing. But, it's about getting the message in front of others.

How do you impress people? Either by way of talking.

Don't you think so?

Thanks,
Brad

I truly believe that the people who have treated me cruelly because I was the farthest down on the social totem-pole, really did not realize what they were doing. "Forgive them, for they know not what they do" took me about 2 years to become close to automatic with my mental response. Affirmations of course will not work if the person is not determined. They really help though when they become a part of you. I suffer from a bitterness problem from too much negativity directed at me in my past and learning even this one has helped me tremendously in dealing with it.

That's tough. I dealt with similar situations growing up, and even well into my adulthood. Having been on the one of the lowest on the "social totem-pole," I can say that words of affirmation greatly helped me in my times of need. It's nice that you posted this, because I need to start getting "Forgive them, they know not what they do," stuck in my head as a part of my daily thought process.

I think affirmations are so important, because we hear negative messages about ourselves everyday, and I think whatever we choose to believe becomes self fulfilling. Think you're fat? You might give up and start eating more and actually become fat. That's one of the things that happened to me. The negative messages were originally said by other people, but I starting saying them to myself and believing them. I've gotten out of that trap now though
