The author talks about the life-changing effects of positive affirmations and why everyone should bring in positivity to lead a happier life.
What started as a mode of self challenge to achieve the unattainable a few years back- it led to achieving much more beyond the goal and has converted me into a self proclaimed loyalist of this amazing gift from the universe.
The hype is everywhere about the Power of Positivity- from authors to celebrities, on social media handles to daily news papers. There are workshops, events , seminars, courses at national and international level to make us all a part of this fabulous concept.
While some may laugh it off as an idiosyncrasy, some may raise eyebrows at its logicality, some may embrace it without inhibitions and some may choose to remain ignorant about it.
Well , frankly speaking, the magical power in question does not lie in something as abstract as positivity. In fact, it is hidden in YOU- your thoughts, ideas and beliefs ! And NO – you definitely need not enroll in any of the exorbitantly charged courses or workshops to let someone else rediscover the magic in you.
Well, its not at all rocket science. In fact, its easier than a child’s play. A mere exercise to be followed in your every day life just to take the charge of your life in your own hands. Squeeze in some time, to channelize your energies and generate positive thoughts, in between your busy routine schedules, gym visits, parlour sessions , shopping sprees, etc, . Interestingly, it is free of cost and all it demands is just your time and your mind. Before you start your journey towards positivity, you need to remember a few things:
1) Be grateful for everything that you have- gratitude attracts abundance.You are bound to receive more than you ask. 2) Stop complaining – Negative vibes alert ! 3) Don’t just think happy thoughts, feeling happy is equally important. 4) Spend your time in mindful activities. 5) Disconnect from negative source- people, places or things. 6) It’s important to work upon your goals, ideas, plans and programs as well, along with firmly believing in positive affirmations to produce successful results. 7) Visualize your thoughts. 8) Keep your mind free of clutter. 9) Keep a smile on your face – however hard it maybe – repels negativity kilometres away ! 10) Be focussed. Stay strong . Remember good things take time.
With these points in mind, lets talk briefly about ‘Positive Affirmations’ and their benefits:
What are positive affirmations? Use of Positive words or thoughts to create or eliminate something from your life.
Why should we use Positive affirmations? – A human brain generates 70,000 thoughts in a day – mix of both positive and negative. – Knowingly or unknowingly, we use affirmations every moment. – Happy thoughts attract happiness ,sad thoughts attract depression, anger attracts aggression, worrisome thoughts invite fear and anxiety, etc. – Its our duty to accept or reject these thoughts wisely. – Our beliefs and ideologies are the results of our habitual thought processes. – Retraining the thoughts can create positive experiences and encouraging results.
How to use Positive affirmations? -Write down your goals and create positive affirmations according to your expectations. It can be as follows: * Everything will be OK * I choose to think only positive * Today is going to be an amazing day * I am the best and I am proud of myself * I am the creator and controller of my happiness * I am free to make my own choices * I am the in-charge of my life * I love myself the way I am * All my problems have solutions * I am fit and healthy * I am attracting more wealth into my life * I am becoming more beautiful and prettier with each passing day * I am achieving the ideal body * I have obtained my dream job
-Avoid using negative words or ideas . -Repeat and follow these affirmations from the moment you open your eyes till the moment you sleep. -Use them when you proceed to face challenges or when you feel let down in life.
When to use positive affirmations? – Absolutely anyone can use whenever they feel the need for some positive spark to reignite their lives. – Can be used to gain happiness or to lose weight, to attract new job or to repel unwanted stress, to create more wealth or to beat depression, to succeed in a relationship or to walk away from anxiety.
Benefits of Positive affirmations: 1) It opens up new horizons- new ideas, new thought processes, new dreams. 2) Gives you the power to choose your thoughts and life decisions. 3)Makes you self aware- You become in-charge of your life. 4) Helps to get rid of doubts/ Insecurities. 5) Ability to identify your strengths / weaknesses and work upon them.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
