Storytime
Years ago, I was struggling with feeling confident in my job. I was working in customer service, and my shyness when talking to strangers was sabotaging me.
I would deal just fine with friendly people, but if someone had a problem or wasn’t in a mood (which often happens), I would take it personally and believe I wasn’t good at my job.
My voice would tremble, my hands would shake, and if things were really bad, I would even forget how to speak. I would have to ask colleagues for help to deal with something I should’ve been able to handle just fine by myself.
These were not the times of my life I am proud of.
How A Good Affirmation Could Save The Day
I cannot recall how I stumbled upon the idea of using affirmations to heal myself from the extreme anxiety that was making my life miserable.
However, one morning, while walking towards the office, I found myself chanting, silently in my mind, a sentence. Every word was a step, and every step was dedicated to a word. I kept repeating that sentence over and over again. I did the same the next day and again the day after…
In a week’s time…
The first thing that changed was my body posture.
My back was locked in a straight line. My shoulders were straight and not hunched. My eyes were focused on the street ahead of me instead of the tips of my shoes.
One day, I found myself walking into the office with a brighter smile, ready for the first customers, waiting instead of fearing them.
It took me a few weeks to get to a place where I no longer needed affirmations. And then… it was a snowball effect. I kept getting better and better, to the point where I had customers demanding I was the one to talk to, waiting in lines to discuss stuff with me (I was working in a bank office if you’re curious, so it was serious money talks).
Fast forward a few years, I became a Bank Office Manager and had a small team of six people… The rest is history, as they say.
And all thanks to affirmations.
What are affirmations?
Affirmations are simple sentences with powerful meaning that are created with the intention of affirming something. They could be positive such as “I am loved.” or negative such as “I’m a failure.”
You and I are ALWAYS telling ourselves affirmations. Our belief system forms, guides, and supports them.
Each affirmation brings out an emotion, a feeling we follow and indulge in. If brought to the light often enough, that feeling would get comfy and desired, regardless if it is positive or negative.
To sum it up, there are two types of affirmations:
- The ones you craft carefully and shape them to mirror your best life.
- The ones you do not know that you chant to yourself but are quietly creating your reality.
Positive Affirmations To Start Your Day
The beginning of every day is like a blank page from a book you write. You are yet to dip the pen in ink and swirl the words on the paper.
You can carefully write every word, making it a beautiful piece of art, aware of your part in creating each sentence.
Or you could rush through the paragraphs ignorant of the importance of each scribble… because you are the writer, yet you don’t accept it.
The affirmations are like an ‘intro’ for each page in your book. You know the importance of an intro, right? It could set the tone for the chapter, describe the scene, and craft the mood for the reader.
Negative affirmations, such as ‘Ugh, I feel/look horrible today.’ and ‘I’m so sleepy. I hate this day.’ would only set the scene for negativity. I mean… if a chapter in a book started that way, you wouldn’t expect too much happiness throughout its pages, right? You would already anticipate stress, anxiety, and rainy clouds.
But what if you opted for positive affirmations?
What if you opened the book and started the next chapter with ‘I knew today would be an awesome day!’?
Of course, you anticipate something great, sunny, and joyful.
Yep, that’s how affirmations work.
