You probably know that healing doesn’t generally happen if your thoughts are unhealthy or negative. In fact, if you are often doubt-ridden, this doubt has a powerful influence on your ability to manifest.
Creating change requires courage and a structured attempt to let go of cynicism and self-criticism.
One of the ways we sabotage ourselves is through our language. Every thought is a form of energy that we send out to the universe that returns to us. So how might creating positive affirmations, or statements, assist you in manifesting what you desire?
Many intuitives and spiritual teachers guide us in the creation of positive affirmations. Here are some tips toward creating affirmations that will assist you on your journey:
When you create an affirmation, state it positively. (“I am healthy” vs. “I am not ill.”)
State it in the present as if you already have what you desire. (“I have abundant wealth” vs. “I will have wealth.”)
Make it concise. A one-sentence, succinct affirmation is best. (“I am forgiving and loving.”)
Make the affirmation about you and not others. (“I am full of energy” vs. “I receive prayers from others.”)
Make the affirmation specific and achievable. (“I exercise three times each week” vs. “I will exercise.”)
When your affirmation is clear, repeat it consistently each day. Trust that the universe hears your voice and heeds your request. Each day give thanks for what you know you will receive.

Throughout the day, check in with your breathing. Is it shallow and tight? Are you tense, angry, anxious, or relaxed? If so, it is most likely reflected in your breathing. You might even be holding your breath as a way not to feel your emotions, particularly if they are negative.
Your breathing serves to connect you with yourself and others, so that not breathing fully can be an unconscious defense mechanism for disconnecting from emotions you’d rather not feel. Even though shallow breathing can lessen your ability to feel your emotions, it can also repress them so that you create a pressure cooker of emotions internally, creating dis-ease in the body.
To promote better health:
Check in with your breathing periodically throughout the day. Are you taking short, shallow breaths or is your breathing deep and relaxed?
Ask what is going on with you emotionally at that moment and how does your breathing reflect this?
If you realize that your breathing is shallow, take deeper breaths and check in with how you are feeling.
Are you able to expand the lower abdomen as you breathe in, opening the lower chakras with the breath?
With every inhalation, mentally reinforce that you are opening your body to a healthy flow of energy. The in-breath reflects the process of your own will–the taking in and connecting with life. The out-breath reflects the process of surrendering and letting go. The dance of your breathing will tell you much about your relationship to life.
