What are affirmations?

An affirmation is a positive statement of intent that is used to reprogram your mind. It is written in the present tense even if it isn’t yet happening right now. Since an affirmation is phrased in the present tense, when you recite them, you feel the emotions and feelings now that you will feel when your affirmation manifests. Therefore, the affirmation creates a mental picture in your mind of how you will feel when you reach your goal. Even if you do not love and respect your body, reciting an affirmation creates feelings of love and respect. Therefore, you are more likely to nourish your body and feed it with food that will fuel it instead of junk food.

Positive affirmations promote positive thinking and positive thinking releases endorphins and other feel-good chemicals throughout our body. On the other hand, negative thinking releases cortisol and other stress hormones. Many people have more negative thoughts than positive thoughts. Some people aren’t even aware of these negative thoughts. You have the power to change your thoughts. Whenever you find yourself thinking negative thoughts, reframe them, and recite positive affirmations (see limiting beliefs). If you are trying to lose weight and find that your negative self-talk is convincing you that you cannot lose weight then grab your positive affirmations and read them aloud. You can also record them and play them back. Affirmations have the power to change your negative thoughts into positive thoughts. You may not feel like doing it at the time but force yourself to do it. Once you start you will begin feeling more positive and change your mindset.

How to Use Affirmations for Weight Loss

According to Louise Hay, in her book “You can heal your life”, your thoughts create your reality. If you are having negative thoughts (such as trying to understand why you are overweight) then you are focusing on the problem which is something negative. Since you manifest whatever you think, too much negative thinking will bring negativity into your life and keep you overweight. The best way to solve this is to love yourself and your body. The secret to loving yourself is learning to think in positive affirmations. The author suggests you turn all your negative feelings regarding your body image into positive affirmations: I have a healthy body, I am strong, I have nice proportions, etc. When you frame your situation in a positive way, you’re focusing your attention in the right direction. Always state your affirmations in the present tense. Even if you don’t feel like you like your body yet you have to find positive affirmations that you are comfortable saying in the present tense. If you state your affirmations in the future tense, then your subconscious will keep putting it off.

Never focus on the things that you don’t want. Instead, focus on the things that you do want. For example, if you want to lose weight, don’t focus on the sacrifices that you will have to make to lose weight. Instead, focus on the benefits you will gain once you do lose weight.
