How to use affirmations, positive affirmations and set intentions ✶
An affirmation is really anything you say or think. The idea behind it is that you attract everything you do, say, feel and think.
Law of Attraction .
The power of attraction. Much of what we tell ourselves every day is negative, and it will create bad experiences for us.
By actively working with affirmations, you will create positive affirmations and sentences that can help you overcome challenges, dissolve unwanted patterns and, in the long run, create a wonderful life for yourself - where YOU have taken responsibility for yourself and your own life.
Affirmations reprogram your subconscious mind to make you believe certain things and thereby attract what you want and create the life you want. The affirmations are based on you and your own patterns of action with the belief that if you change your own energy for the better, the rest of the world will follow.
How to use affirmations
You can write, say and think your affirmations - and preferably all three for the best and fastest effect.
- Always use “I” when saying your affirmations. “I am safe.”
- Always write positively - and leave out the word “ not” . “I am completely healthy” rather than “I am not sick”. The universe does not understand the word “not”.
- State the emotions you want to feel. Use words like “grateful,” “happy,” “energized.”
- Use your affirmations in the present tense as if they are happening right now - even if you don't believe it right now. It takes practice.
- Be persistent and patient. Say, think and write your affirmations as many times as possible. What you water grows.
- Know that if you don't attract what you intended, it's because something better is in store. You can therefore use the phrase "I attract xx or whatever is best for me".
Intention
Setting your intention for your day or for a period of your life is an extension of the use of affirmations. Both are based on the same understanding of the power of attraction, which is basically that you attract what you are, what you feel, and what you say.
This also means that you can attract exactly what you dream of if you manage to master the affirmations and intentions for your dreams.
While affirmations are clear messages to yourself and the universe, intention setting can be explained more as the reflective practice behind and which is deeply rooted in a mindful understanding of the world.
Before you say your affirmation , it is important that you are clear about what your desire, your dream, your intention is. What is it that you specifically and precisely want to attract into your life - and what do you want to let go of?
Only once you have defined your intentions can you work towards manifesting them and making them a reality in your life.
When you have your intention clearly defined, they will stand behind your affirmation as a point of strength - it will uplift it and yourself, and make you much more receptive to the changes that must happen, and to accept what the Universe sends your way.
When you are asked to write your intention in this planner throughout the year, it is your absolute dream scenario that you realistically see happening to you. The fact is that if you don't really believe in your own intention, well, then it's not going to happen. If you have the slightest mistrust in yourself, the Universe will wait to send you all the blessings it otherwise has lined up for you.
It might therefore be a good idea to set partial intentions. If you want to lose 40 kg, but don't really believe it's possible in the coming month, write 3 kg instead.

When you need to set an intention, use affirmations, and actively manifest, I simply ask you to do the following:
Be good to yourself.
Give yourself realistic expectations.
Give yourself space and room to be human.
And most importantly: always let your intentions come from a place of love and gratitude, and not of fear or hatred.
