Positive Affirmations and Their Impact

Positive affirmations have the most impact when you say, think, and feel them often, creating positive patterns and changes in your life. "I AM" affirmations are declarations to yourself and the world about who you are and how you feel. The words that follow "I AM" create an imprint on yourself, and with repetition, these imprints turn into beliefs, allowing you to consciously create a life that pleases you.

Research has proven that 95% of your life is influenced by your subconscious beliefs. Repetition and continued practice form these subconscious beliefs. "I AM" affirmations invoke your free will, allowing you to call in your affirmation into your prominent experiences and patterns.It is also proven that people get their subconscious belief programmed in their first seven years, this is why ‘I AM’ affirmations can be so powerful in the life of a young child.

Choice

We believe that while there are many aspects of life we cannot choose, such as our height or the color of our skin, we do have the power to choose how we show up each day. It's important for children to understand that they have a choice in how they feel, regardless of their circumstances.

The more a child believes they are brave, loving, happy, etc., the more likely they are to carry these beliefs throughout their lives. They will then choose these positive emotions regularly because they believe in their own bravery, love, and happiness.

This doesn't mean they will always feel these elevated emotions consistently. Experiencing a full range of emotions is a vital part of the human experience, helping us navigate what we want and what we don't want. However, what you believe, you become. Therefore, it's crucial to encourage children to focus on empowering thoughts. This way, they can pause, be present, and make conscious choices about where they want to go and how they want to feel.“Whatever you add to I AM you become. Whatever you add to I AM is added to you.”
