Affirmations are very helpful. You have probably done them at one time or another. Giving yourself a "pep talk" before an important meeting or event is a good way to bolster your confidence. Visualizing the outcome you desire is a powerful way to achieve your goals.
The way our brain is designed makes visualizations and affirmations possible. Strange as it may seem, your brain doesn't really understand the difference between imagination and reality. Astronauts have known this for years. During training programs, they will visualize their work in space and body monitoring equipment will register as if they were really doing it. Their bodies and minds learn the movements. Professional sports teams use affirmations and visualizations as a primary training tool. We use these techniques in our speed reading workshops, but you can use them every day to help you get by.
Affirmations help in our information drenched world as well. It is easy to feel overwhelmed by all we are surrounded with each day. We come into contact with more information each day than we know what to do with.
Today's affirmation: I move through the world with confidence and grace, learning what I need to know along the way, increasing my awareness of important matters in my life.
Try this when you feel overwhelmed: I have the ability to learn all that I need to know and that which I have to learn will flow freely into my life.
Take a few deep breaths and say these affirmations to yourself before you begin your day, before you begin work, or just when you are feeling overwhelmed.
Have a great day.
