It happens because you fill yourself with positivity and appreciation for the day ahead. With this attitude, you will feel more content and productive.<\/p>\n<p>This, in turn, could lead you to better results at work, more friendly behavior toward other people, and greater life satisfaction. Therefore, this simple morning habit could eventually change your life for the better!<\/p>\n<p>Some examples of morning affirmations include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I\u2019m ready for this new day and the opportunities it brings<\/li>\n<li>I\u2019m ready to enjoy the moments of happiness this day is giving me<\/li>\n<li>I\u2019m filled with gratitude and positive energy<\/li>\n<li>I\u2019m open to the opportunities this day is offering me<\/li>\n<li>I\u2019m ready to see the light and beauty in every person I meet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, practicing affirmations upon going to bed is a great idea too.

We all have different things to be thankful for, don\u2019t we? So why not focus on the aspects of your life that make you happy and blessed!<\/p>\n<p>You may have beautiful children that give your life meaning or lovely pets that make you happy. You might be particularly grateful for your parents\u2019 role in your life or the hobby that allows you to express your creative energy.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many different sources of gratitude! The point is to make yourself aware of them.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, we tend to focus on the negative experiences and aspects of our lives because <a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/record\/2003-04757-015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">they cause<\/a> a greater emotional response in us. And this is where we get it wrong \u2013 we dwell on our problems and forget about our blessings.<\/p>\n<p>So think about the things and people that make you feel happy, loved, and important. And come up with your own list of gratitude affirmations.<\/p>\n<p>Then repeat them every day in the morning and upon going to bed as well as in the moments of despair.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to use the present tense since words such as \u201ccould, might, will\u201d make the affirmations sound less assertive.<\/p>\n<p>You will soon notice that your perspective on life is starting to change. You will learn to see the light during the darkest moments and find the good in everything.<\/p>\n<p>This ability will ultimately make you into a wiser, more balanced, and resilient person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We often neglect what we have \u2013 it\u2019s in human nature to take things for granted.
