Affirmations are a great way to shift your mindset. Scientific studies prove that your thoughts have power. It’s also proven that all things carry vibrational energy, especially words. The words you think and speak are the pen and paper that manifest your world around you.
 
 Practice affirmations and mantras by envisioning your aspiration as complete while repeating it. Inhale appreciation and Exhale gratitude. 

affirmations

Affirmations are a way of speaking your goals and dreams into existence. By saying them aloud, you affirm your position to the subconscious mind. 

Remember, unconscious does not acknowledge negative thoughts. Thoughts such as “I won’t get nervous,” are interpreted as “I will get nervous,” which will result in nervous behavior.

Thinking positively allows the conscious and unconscious minds to work together.

Try writing these affirmations in your journal or on a sticky note and placing them somewhere you’ll see them daily, like your bedroom door or bathroom mirror.

"Damn, im good!"

"I am worthy of being loved"

"I am the source of my happiness & security"

"I am an important piece of the whole"

"I am calm and relaxed"

"I radiate success"

"I have confidence in myself"

mantras

Mantras are similar to affirmations in that they are verbal chants.

Mantras however, are derived from ancient indic language known as sanskrit. Mantras have been used for thousands of years across thousands of societies. It is a sacred practice.

By chanting or speaking a mantra, you begin to create more vibrational energy of that to which you are speaking. Each letter and syllable carries a vibration. And as such, each mantra creates a specific energy.

The sanskrit definition of mantra is “that which protects”. Sanskrit is an ancient language that was created based off of vibrational energy, and was created for it’s vibrational content.

Mantras are typically used in conjunction to a spiritual practice such as yoga or meditation. They can be practiced with many intentions.

Find yours, find your voice, and give this a try. It may seem uncomfortable at first because you don’t know exactly how to pronounce what you’re saying. But just pretend its Keyshia Cole and give it all you got!

You can always go online and find them to listen to in the meantime. The goal is still overall to change the vibration. I listen to mantras on youtube while cleaning, work, etc.
