That's what makes postive affirmations so powerful. You can use them as your daily mental work out to help you change a certain behavior, attitudes or perceptions.
This blog is powerful because it has countless affirmations that you can use freely to help you train your thoughts in a positive way. From this post you can access sterling silver affirmation jewelry charms that help remind or reinforce the affirmations you are working on.

Who Are You?
Helen Keller once said "A man can't make a place for himself in the sun if he keeps taking refuge under the family tree." If you want to make something out of yourself and be your own person you can't rely on others, even your family to make something out of you.
Of course you want the support of friends and family but when it comes to creating the person you want to be, it has to be your own effort.
Making something out of yourself requires using your own free will, deciding what you want to be or how you want to feel, etc. Then the determination to make it come to pass.
If you think about it, you got off to a good start "you were born an original. Don't die a copy." (John Mason). Society, sometimes even including family and firends have a preconcieved notion as to who you are or what you ought to be.
It's all up to you. Don't be a copy of someone elses idea of what you should be.
On the other hand, we (a part of society) can exert influence to try and change someone which we shouldn't do. The following quote says it best: "We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly." -- Sam Keen

HEALTH Positive Affirmations
Health Affirmations: Affirmation Jewelry Charms
There are infinate influences that affect our health for good or bad. Many we have control over and many we don't. In most health issues we have control over our mind and thoughts.
Most medical practinioners will recomend a good attitude when facing a medical problem. Positive affirmations are a great way to try to stay positive. Notice I said "try and stay positive". Chronic illnesses and life threatening health issues are very difficult but that's when you need a positive mental attitude more than ever.
Just as symptoms can ebb and flow so can your attitude. Positive affirmations can be a good way to remind yourself how to stay positive.
For affirmations to work they need to be specific so when creating your affirmations remember to understand what the words mean to you. For example, what does "positive" mean?
Here's a positive affirmation: I am positive today. If you say it over and over, that's nice but what are you saying to youself? What does positive mean to you. It really doesn't matter what the dictionary says it means, it's what it means to you that matters.
In my health battles here is my list of health related affirmations:
I am positive today.
I am making it through the day.
Today is all that matters. (one day at a time concept)
I will grow today inspite of the pain.
I am blessed to have these experiences.
I am happy today.
I will shower today.
I will get dressed today.
This broken leg will only keep me down for a few months then I will run and jump and jump and run...
My health is a state of mind:
Although my (Chronic Fatigue) "use whatever the illness in parenthesis" slows my body, my mind is free as a bird.
My illness doesn't define me, my attitude and thoughts define me and they are good thoughts.
What works for you?

SELF EXAMINATION and Quotes for the User of Affirmations
SELF EXAMINATION and Quotes
There is a famous quote in the circles of philosophy by Socrates that says "the unexamined life is not worth living."
Is this true? From the circles of Affirmation thinkers I suggest it is a true statement.
Those who use personal positive affirmations do so with the intent of making their lives better.
If we think that our lives could be better though the use of personal affirmations then we examine our lives to see what need improving. many people spend there life looking for meaning and fail to examine themselves in the quest. St. Augustine said ti best with this quote: "People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering."
If we really want personal affirmations to make us better or to improve ourselves then we must examine ourselves and then set goalson what we feel needs improvement and then employ the use of positive daily affirmations.
