When it comes to using the law of attraction, nearly every resource out there mentions the importance of positive affirmations.

This simple practice might seem optional, and even ineffective, but the truth is that affirmations are a powerful way to change your life.

Want to learn more the Law of Attraction?  This practical book will help you.

In fact, whether you realize it or not, you already say affirmations to yourself, you’re just not aware of it.

Every time you tell yourself things like, “I can’t do that” or “No one will support me” you are reaffirming that you can’t have the life you want.

Negative thoughts are so pervasive it’s hard to know you’re even doing it, and it’s something we’re all guilty of at some time or another.

Think about this, research from the National Science Foundation suggests that we all have anywhere between 12,000 and 60,000 thoughts per day, and about 80% of those are negative thoughts.  On top of that, 95% of those thoughts are repetitive.

If you participate in this kind of cynical self-talk then take a hard look at your life as it is now.

Are there things you wish you could do, but don’t dare try?

Are you where you want to be in your career and finances?

Do you have the relationship you want with your family and friends?

If you feel like there is room for improvement in any area of your life, consider the beliefs you have about that area.  Your beliefs are a direct cause of the gloomy things you tell yourself, so if something seems off-balance, changing your thoughts is a good place to start.

If you’re familiar with the law of attraction, then you know that your thoughts create your reality.   So what kind of reality are you creating through these thoughts of doubt, anger, and resentment?

Just imagine what would happen if you tipped the scale of your thinking just slightly. What I mean by that is trying to become aware of your thoughts and beliefs to at least think positively 51% of the time.

Sound like a challenge? It is, but it’s all about being self-aware and changing your language. It will take some time, but as long as you stick with it consistently, you will see a dramatic difference in your outlook and your life.

That’s where positive affirmations come in.

Using these on a daily basis will rejuvenate your mind so that you can gain confidence, compassion, and motivation.

You can use this list of positive affirmations to change any area of your life.

Whether you’re looking for love, trying to advance your career, or you just want to feel good about your life in general, there are affirmations to help you get there.

If you’re new to this concept, or you are having trouble thinking of what to say, don’t worry.

I wanted to share 50 of my favorite affirmations to cover every part of your life.

You can pick one area to focus on or say them all, it’s really about what resonates with you.

• First, make sure you are totally relaxed. All the positive affirmations in the world won’t make a difference if you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed.
• Pick a good time to say them. Personally, I like saying them first thing in the morning when I wake up or right before I go to bed. These are generally peaceful times where your mind is relaxed and receptive to information, but of course, pick a time that works best for you.
• Get centered by taking a few long deep breaths and try to keep a controlled breathing pattern while you say them.
• Make sure to say each affirmation with as much energy and enthusiasm as possible.  You are retraining your brain, so you need to truly feel what you are saying is real.
• Now you’re ready to say your affirmations. You can say them out loud or to yourself, but whatever you choose, keep that passion flowing.

Now for the list of positive affirmations.
