7 Affirmations To Start Your Day
Let’s energise ourselves for the day and get ready for anything that comes up!
We are so active in our outer life that we don't forget to put on an alarm clock to get up early in the morning, have breakfast or skip breakfast to reach the office on time and extend the working hours in the evening so that we submit work to our bosses. With all these hectic schedules we also have to take time out for family, friends and other responsibilities, and we make sure that we do all of it by keeping smiles on our faces. If we don't do so with plastic smile on our face, we lose, we lose the warmth of connection with people and gradually we find our relationship with others is fading and hurting. The worst part is, even though we tried harder to keep harmony in relationships, we question — why things are not going as they should be, why my loved ones are running away, why my boss always cursing me, where am I wrong, I feel lonely, I feel empty……
The reason for all the miseries mentioned above is that we don't look inside ourselves, we do not dare to peep inwards what is rolling and thumping in us. We have no time to check how are we feeling. We are so in hurry and worry that we engage ourselves in external life keeping others happy but finding no peace in ourselves.
If we really want to make our life balanced, we need to check on ourselves every day and observe what needs to be done before we start our day. For example, If I am worried about the result of the project submitted to my boss, I need to work on my fear, anxiety and stress levels.
But how can we help ourselves even though we know the sensitive areas which need treatment? Affirmations!!! Yes, affirmations can help in eliminating the negativity from our lives and we can live happier with ourselves and others.
