Daily positive affirmations whispered to yourself are a powerful tool For self esteem in today's world of change
 
how you talk to yourself is so important!

Daily positive affirmations after significant change can be a life saver.

Change such as job loss can wipe you out emotionally and damage your self esteem and how you see yourself.  Your very being can be rocked.

What you say to yourself will be one of the most important things you do in this period.

An old Indian man told his grandson, "My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all.  One is evil.  It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, regret, inferiority, lies and ego.  The other is good. It is peace, hope, joy, love, humility, kindness, empathy and truth."

The boy thought about it and asked,  "Grandfather, which wolf wins?"

The old man quietly replied,
"The one you feed."

  ~ Cherokee Indian Legend

As you can see the focus of your self-talk is really important, for your self-esteem and your confidence.  How you speak to yourself feeds your thinking and your life.

"You are today where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you."

  ~ James Lane Allen, American novelist

First, you need to know that you are a good person, with much knowledge, skills and experience.  This change does not alter that.

Not only speak positively to yourself but whisper it to yourself as well. Think it.

It is not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life, it's what you whisper to yourself that has the most power."

  ~ Robert Kiyosaki, entrepreneur and author of Rich Dad Poor Dad

Whisper often.

daily positive affirmations that can be used all day long

Here are sample positive affirmations that don't have to be just daily positive affirmations, but used often, whenever you think of them.  They will assist your handling the emotional challenge of dealing with job loss, rediscovering yourself and in time starting a new direction searching for new employment or starting your own enterprise.

Find a quiet comfortable place and read over the affirmations.  Perhaps use these as inspiration to write your own.

Find one or two (or more) that really speak to you and use these during the day when sitting quietly, when walking, or during any quiet period.

Listen to the words, repeat over and over and eventually you will internalise them and they become a part of who you are.

Write the words on a PostIt note and stick where you will see them.

the power of the mirror

One very beneficial way to use your chosen affirmations is when you are using a mirror to apply makeup, cleaning teeth or when shaving, for example.  Look yourself right in the eyes and focus on the words.

If you can, consider writing the words on the mirror using lipstick, eyelash pen, a thin wax crayon or a permanent or whiteboard marker.

In fact, you can write it and partially remove it so only you will notice it but will know exactly what it says.

I have done this.  There is even one that appears faintly on the mirror that was written years ago, and I know exactly what it says.  It really works!
