Reflections from a Mirror

Positive affirmations are simple messages of truth that can change our lives. In just a few unassuming words, affirmations can change feelings of sadness and despair into feelings of hope and joy. Use the following exercise to incorporate positive affirmations into your daily life:

Step 1

Stand or sit in front of a mirror when there are no distractions.

Step 2

Spend a couple of minutes looking at your reflection. Allow your gaze to become soft, look past your physical appearance to glance within.

Step 3

Speaking out loud, voice any persisting negative thoughts or problems that you have been avoiding.

Step 4

In a strong, clear voice, say positive affirmations to yourself, for example:

– I choose to approach all situations in my life with overflowing enthusiasm.

– I will speak about joy and positivity to every person I meet.

– I will think only of the highest and work only for the highest.

– I will always love and support myself.

In this elevated state, walk out into the world with the strong determination to spread happiness and love to all you meet.
