In previous posts, I told my story — there was about depression and big changes. I strongly believe that you can become the kind of person you dream of being. I used to be very shy and I struggled with a lot of problems. However, if for a longer period of time you actively change your thinking, then your life also change and I am the best example of that. What you do every day has a huge impact on what person you are. The change does not happen suddenly. Only daily small steps will help you in the long term to achieve great things and make great changes. That is why affirmations will be the area of today’s focus, because affirmations are very helpful in the transition.
This blog post answers the following questions:
- How do affirmations work?
- What are the benefits of using affirmations?
- How do I create my own affirmations?
- What are some examples of affirmations for success?
- What are some common mistakes people make when using affirmations?
If you want to lose 10 kg, for example, you won’t do it in one week. You gotta take care of your health every day and lose weight gradually. It is only after many months that the final effect will be visible and, moreover, you should not stop at it. Similarly—in order to achieve the proper state of your mind, you must work on your thinking every day and do it all the time. Your mind is like a muscle and should be treated as such—it requires daily exercise. Unfortunately, you often don’t realize how limited your thinking is and how much your mind needs training.
You can shape yourself through affirmations
The whole world that surrounds you since childhood shapes you and you don’t even realize how much. What you do, what you think, what you can do—it’s all just the rules established in your head, acquired during your life. Your perception of reality can both hold you back and push you forward. That is why you need to take care of your beliefs. Each of us has different experiences from youth and the resulting beliefs. Consequently, some will have it harder and others easier—but it’s the past and you can’t change it. However, if you “inject” positive beliefs into your head every day, and those beliefs will be capable of giving you a boost, then your life will certainly develop in a positive direction. Your goals and dreams will come true over time. Although gradually and slowly, you are able to actively change yourself over the years.
If you expose yourself to positive things, your life will start to go in the right direction. Don’t get me wrong — there is no shortcut here and affirmations are not a wonderful cure for problems in life. Using affirmation is just a good (and pleasant) exercise that helps you believe in yourself and change your thinking to a positive one. Just as simple physical exercises done regularly strengthen the body, regular use of affirmation strengthens the mind.
Affirmations are just exercises
Affirmations provide the best way for all of to start our life-changing journey. Starting big changes in my life back in 2012, I also started with affirmations and books (a good book is just a big collection of affirmations that change your thinking). Every day affirmations help you change your approach to the world. Thanks to affirmations, you believe that you can achieve your dreams. Maybe at first you’re afraid to dream, but affirmations allow you to change your thinking and start dreaming about great things, and then they make you start acting towards making those dreams come true.
Affirmations shape your thoughts and your positive thinking
All great people have great thoughts. Your thoughts stem from your beliefs, convictions about what is possible and what is not possible. Very often your beliefs and convictions are not true, they don’t reflect what are you capable of. Do you believe you could be able to publish your own book? It might seem difficult to you, but for some it’s a piece of cake. Maybe you wanna make extra 10,000 dollars and save up for your dream vacation? Someone else earns that much in a month, others in just one day. Everything really depends on what your attitude, your belief in yourself. People earning large sums have no limit in their head which would make them stuck at 5,000 per month.
It’s not about planning to become a multimillionaire right away (unfortunately, many people will try to sell you the way to do it), but about changing your life, seeing the world, starting your own business that will give you freedom, maybe living a slightly different life than society suggests, etc. This apply to all aspects of our lives. Who said you can’t make good money, run a marathon and, for example, dive with sharks in Cape Town, South Africa? It just depends on what you think is real. If you have limited beliefs, you will never go beyond your limits—that’s for sure. That is why affirmations and daily changes in your thinking are so important.

1
00:00:00,400 –> 00:00:03,729
Hi, I’m Tomek.
I’ll tell you about affirmations.
2
00:00:03,730 –> 00:00:06,780
Are they useful?
Should you apply them?
3
00:00:06,800 –> 00:00:11,971
I can tell you that you should,
as they’ve changed my life significantly.
4
00:00:11,972 –> 00:00:16,343
In this video, I’ll discuss affirmations
and their influence.
5
00:00:16,344 –> 00:00:21,439
I’ll present my affirmations
which you can use to improve your life.
6
00:00:21,440 –> 00:00:23,860
Be welcome. What are affirmations?
7
00:00:23,880 –> 00:00:28,200
Affirmations are sentences, phrases
that you speak out loud
8
00:00:28,201 –> 00:00:31,843
which are designed
to shape your thinking.
9
00:00:31,844 –> 00:00:37,243
Once you change your way of thinking,
it influences your actions
10
00:00:37,244 –> 00:00:40,342
and these actions shape our life.
11
00:00:40,343 –> 00:00:42,771
Sounds easy?
But how to do it?
12
00:00:42,772 –> 00:00:48,585
One can say that affirmations are
meaningless, overrated and stupid.
13
00:00:48,586 –> 00:00:54,499
No. I think that using affirmations
is a genius way
14
00:00:54,500 –> 00:00:58,700
to embark on the adventure
of changing oneself.
15
00:00:58,720 –> 00:01:03,370
If we’re talking here about
personal development, business,
16
00:01:03,371 –> 00:01:08,214
everything, as everything starts here –
from changing our thinking
17
00:01:08,215 –> 00:01:10,357
which influences our life.
18
00:01:10,358 –> 00:01:15,386
If you want to change, earn more,
look better, be happier,
19
00:01:15,387 –> 00:01:22,399
more confident, achieve success
in every field of our life,
20
00:01:22,400 –> 00:01:28,980
then you need to change
your way of thinking.
21
00:01:29,000 –> 00:01:36,686
The best way to start making change is to
introduce affirmations into your life.
22
00:01:36,687 –> 00:01:39,971
Affirmations help us change our thinking.
23
00:01:39,972 –> 00:01:42,129
How they work?
24
00:01:42,130 –> 00:01:45,171
Each of us has
a picture of yourself in mind,
25
00:01:45,172 –> 00:01:48,000
perceiving ourselves in a particular way.
26
00:01:48,001 –> 00:01:53,057
You grew up in some environment
and now maybe you’re in a different one –
27
00:01:53,058 –> 00:01:56,286
it constantly shapes
your life and thinking,
28
00:01:56,287 –> 00:02:00,043
as how you perceive yourself,
how much you can earn,
29
00:02:00,044 –> 00:02:02,743
what you can do,
what you can achieve.
30
00:02:02,744 –> 00:02:04,900
It’s all in your head.
31
00:02:04,901 –> 00:02:08,657
Whether you think
that you can start business
32
00:02:08,658 –> 00:02:11,471
or you think that you can’t do it.
33
00:02:11,472 –> 00:02:14,657
Or you think that
you can run in a marathon,
34
00:02:14,658 –> 00:02:19,157
go to another country,
do something fun – it’s all in your head.
35
00:02:19,158 –> 00:02:23,714
All the effects that you later achieve
stem from your thinking.
36
00:02:23,715 –> 00:02:30,113
Everything great people – billionaires
or those owning a cool business –
37
00:02:30,114 –> 00:02:34,714
have achieved,
stemmed from their thinking.
38
00:02:34,715 –> 00:02:39,714
They believed that they can do it,
as their environment, maybe parents,
39
00:02:39,715 –> 00:02:44,460
told them or run some companies
and showed them that it’s possible.
40
00:02:44,480 –> 00:02:50,585
Or someone had athletes as parents
and thanks to it this person
41
00:02:50,586 –> 00:02:53,857
achieved success in sport, etc.
42
00:02:53,858 –> 00:03:00,900
My point is that if you surround yourself
with people who implant in you
43
00:03:00,901 –> 00:03:05,114
the idea that you can do something,
it elevates you.
44
00:03:05,115 –> 00:03:09,942
Unfortunately, often –
whether in our youth or now –
45
00:03:09,943 –> 00:03:13,600
we’re blocked by society
or our environment
46
00:03:13,601 –> 00:03:18,386
and we don’t believe that we can
go beyond some thinking boundaries
47
00:03:18,387 –> 00:03:20,286
of our environment.
48
00:03:20,287 –> 00:03:23,643
That’s why you need to use affirmations.
49
00:03:23,644 –> 00:03:29,756
You must change your thinking,
so that you can do more in your life.
50
00:03:29,757 –> 00:03:35,171
That’s because our mind
is one big muscle that we can exercise.
51
00:03:35,172 –> 00:03:37,260
This is a good news.
52
00:03:37,280 –> 00:03:42,856
Exercise takes some work, but
you can change thinking by exercising.
53
00:03:42,857 –> 00:03:45,543
The best exercise is affirmation.
54
00:03:45,544 –> 00:03:48,543
I’ll give you an example by analogy.
55
00:03:48,544 –> 00:03:54,171
If you want to lose 15 kilos,
you’re not able to do it within a week,
56
00:03:54,172 –> 00:03:57,879
as it would be harmful for your body.
57
00:03:57,880 –> 00:04:02,829
But if you focus on a diet
and you take care of your diet everyday,
58
00:04:02,830 –> 00:04:08,340
and go for a walk, then within
6 months your health will improve.
59
00:04:08,360 –> 00:04:12,671
You’ll lose 10-15 kilos,
depending on our situation.
60
00:04:12,672 –> 00:04:14,886
And it will make sense.
61
00:04:14,887 –> 00:04:21,071
The same applies to your thinking,
as you can use affirmations every morning
62
00:04:21,072 –> 00:04:24,660
which will change your thinking each day.
63
00:04:24,680 –> 00:04:30,559
If your thinking will be changing,
you’ll look at the world differently.
64
00:04:30,560 –> 00:04:34,257
When you think and perceive
the world differently,
65
00:04:34,258 –> 00:04:37,543
then this thinking
will turn into your actions.
66
00:04:37,544 –> 00:04:43,929
When you think differently about yourself,
believing that you can achieve more,
67
00:04:43,930 –> 00:04:48,571
then your actions will be aimed
for gaining knowledge,
68
00:04:48,572 –> 00:04:54,057
taking steps in a certain direction
and your life will be gradually changing.
69
00:04:54,058 –> 00:04:59,243
And that’s thanks to affirmations
which change your thinking at its core
70
00:04:59,244 –> 00:05:01,957
and, in time, influence your actions.
71
00:05:01,958 –> 00:05:08,540
So, it’s very important to change your
thinking, beliefs through affirmations,
72
00:05:08,560 –> 00:05:20,239
as it has a huge impact on your life,
actions and goals that you achieve.
73
00:05:20,240 –> 00:05:24,020
Now, I’ll present you my affirmations.

In a sec, I’ll tell you
how to apply these affirmations.
79
00:05:43,600 –> 00:05:46,857
Meanwhile,
what affirmations do I have here?
80
00:05:46,858 –> 00:05:52,300
These are the ones that I prepared
myself, influenced by successful people.
81
00:05:52,301 –> 00:05:57,471
In my opinion, they work very well
in terms of improving both
82
00:05:57,472 –> 00:06:02,843
self-confidence and positive thinking,
and when it comes to the business.
83
00:06:02,844 –> 00:06:07,543
These affirmations are divided into
the aspect of self-confidence,
84
00:06:07,544 –> 00:06:11,400
positive thinking,
business and making money.
85
00:06:11,401 –> 00:06:15,486
Two parts. First –
self-confidence and positive thinking.
86
00:06:15,487 –> 00:06:21,420
I’ll read you a few prepared affirmations
which you can download.
87
00:06:21,440 –> 00:06:24,642
“What I do today, shapes my tomorrow”.
88
00:06:24,643 –> 00:06:28,671
So, what you do today,
very much affects your tomorrow.
89
00:06:28,672 –> 00:06:32,786
“In order to have what I don’t,
I have to do what I don’t”.

“I’m a disciplined person”.
98
00:07:07,440 –> 00:07:10,071
Perhaps a few more from this section.
99
00:07:11,714 –> 00:07:14,119

100
00:07:14,120 –> 00:07:17,220

and I’m achieving my goals –
104
00:07:28,100 –> 00:07:30,857
I don’t care if you don’t like it”.
105
00:07:30,858 –> 00:07:34,443
“I’m a clever person
and I can achieve my goals”.
106
00:07:34,444 –> 00:07:39,857
Now, affirmations about
business, success and earning.
107
00:07:39,858 –> 00:07:45,400

it’s about regularity and daily growth”.

is about giving value,
110
00:07:52,787 –> 00:07:55,271

“I act and do more
for my business or job”.
117
00:08:19,930 –> 00:08:25,129

These are just a few of the affirmations
I prepared for you to download.
122
00:08:41,272 –> 00:08:45,471
I also left a blank space
for your own affirmations,
123
00:08:45,472 –> 00:08:49,900
as it’s very vital
to write down your own affirmations
124
00:08:49,901 –> 00:08:54,714
which you’ll come up with
and which suit your person more.
125
00:08:54,715 –> 00:08:59,929
The ones which are very personalized.
I recommend writing them.
126
00:08:59,930 –> 00:09:03,043
Now, how to apply such affirmations?
127
00:09:03,044 –> 00:09:06,514
Affirmations
should be read in the morning.
128
00:09:06,515 –> 00:09:10,886
As you wake up,
before you start doing all your duties
129
00:09:10,887 –> 00:09:14,829
and throw yourself
in the morning chaos,
130
00:09:14,830 –> 00:09:20,243
find 5 minutes – as that’s
how long it should take –
131
00:09:20,244 –> 00:09:22,857
to read these affirmations.
132
00:09:22,858 –> 00:09:27,319
Do it out loud, vigorously
and don’t sit in a corner,
133
00:09:27,320 –> 00:09:32,443
but stand up, maybe exercise a bit
and read these affirmations loudly.
134
00:09:32,444 –> 00:09:34,800
Put your heart into it.
135
00:09:34,801 –> 00:09:41,214
It’s worth to speak these affirmations
by involving your whole body into it,
136
00:09:41,215 –> 00:09:46,729
in order to reach a very cool state
and to make affirmations more effective.
137
00:09:46,730 –> 00:09:50,671
You have to do it out loud
and put your heart into it.
138
00:09:50,672 –> 00:09:54,800
In that way, this 5 minutes a day
will change your thinking
139
00:09:54,801 –> 00:09:59,771
and put you in a state in which
you’ll shape your thinking in a new way.
140
00:09:59,772 –> 00:10:04,314
That’s how you’ll start
doing the things your own way.
141
00:10:04,315 –> 00:10:09,357
In time, affirmations will change your
thinking, improving your actions
142
00:10:09,358 –> 00:10:12,286
and your life will start to change.
143
00:10:12,287 –> 00:10:17,371
I keep my fingers crossed for you.
My affirmations work very well for me.
144
00:10:17,372 –> 00:10:22,043

If you want more cool knowledge
