POWERFUL AFFIRMATIONS LESSON

You Can Change Your Emotional History of Tomorrow Starting With Positive Affirmations Today!

Did you know that as Human's we tend to live our lives using our emotional history and experience as a guide?

I became intrinsically aware of this fact a couple of month's ago when we were away on a ski trip. I have always been the kind of person who loves adventure and I will generally try almost anything once! I was truly Blessed to have been raised by parents that were always completely supportive and loving and didn't allow me to ever think that there was anything that I couldn't do. Even in failure, I was encouraged to a place of self acceptance and was instilled with a moral fibre to always do my best, but also the knowledge to realize that "you can only do what you are capable of doing." I have a bucket list that I continue to work on as time and opportunity permits and I welcome new life challenges. I realize now, something that I had never been so keenly aware of before in all my life and that is how our history affects our present. You are probably saying, "Yes, well we all know that!" It is a known fact that our past history can quite often dictate who we become and how we choose to live our lives. But I want to let you in on a little secret, we can choose to change our history, HERE, IN THE PRESENT!

Let Me Explain By Sharing With You MY Epiphany Moment.

We were away on a ski weekend with friends when I became excited by the opportunity to do something that I had never done before. There it was my next Challenge . . . a 60ft+ Ice Wall! I was pumped and new right away I had to climb it! My last thought was that I might not be able to do it. I signed up, paid the cash and donned my spiked boots, helmet, lanyard and ice pics! My husband said, "Have Fun and Be Careful!", just as he always does and off I went. Halfway up I began to realize that maybe I had bitten off more than I could chew!
Down below my friends were cheering me on and I was committed to pulling myself onward and upward even though the muscles in my arms were burning and shaking so bad that I could barely lift my pics. I rallied on, resting after each big move forward and having 3 more feet to go, I realized that there was just no way this 43-year-old, non-rock climbing, thrill seeker was going to be able to make it to the top. After a break that seemed to last forever and didn't provide me that extra strength I thought it would to push myself over the top, I surrendered to the Ice Wall and asked to be lowered down. You're probably thinking, "AW, bummer! That's too bad, so close to the top and couldn't finish! This is not the way I thought this story was going to end!" Nothing was further from the truth! When I was finally lowered to the bottom, I was exhausted, but I was so proud of myself for having attempted something new and exciting. The fact that I had not reached the top was not my focus, but that I had made a decision to try something that I had never done before, not knowing what to expect, was exhilarating! I heard another of the climbers chastising herself for not being successful in her climb and in that moment I was washed with the knowledge that I had all the power in my world to change my emotional history through my actions and emotions.

How we choose to feel about any given situation in our lives and act upon it, creates our emotional history of tomorrow.

I thought a lot about the other climber who had, to herself, failed. Hers is a negative emotional memory and will more than likely be recalled with fear and anxiety the next time she attempts a challenge that may be beyond her measure. I believe, as Humans we must also be realists. My hopes were that I would be successful in the climbing of an extremely high and daunting ice wall. The reality of the situation was, that I had never done this before, had never been trained and was possibly expecting a positive outcome that might not prevail. Even in the reality of all these facts, I knew I wanted to try to do this and in failure, was still elated in the realization that I had tried and done quite well. ! I chose to enjoy The Ride and not focus so much on what was waiting at the end.

I Am Changing My History In The Present!

This means the next time I challenge myself to try something new and exciting, I will remember how great it felt to not allow fear and Negative Emotional History of Fear, hold me back. I will only recall how terrific it felt to attempt something that I desired to do and enjoy the challenge and thrill of Positive, Powerful Self Affirmations.

This event reminds me so much of how many of us live out our personal relationships, business endeavors and life challenges. Especially when we are trying something new. How can we expect excellence and full on successful outcome when we have never attempted to perform that particular action before. Moreover, is it not just absurd to then chastise ourselves with negative emotion and self punishment if we fail? As a result, we will be fearful and closed to the opportunity the next time it shows itself to us. In this way, our negative emotional history keeps us prisoner even in the present.

What I'm saying is . . . YOU CAN CREATE POSITIVE EMOTIONAL HISTORY BY THE WAY YOU CHOOSE TO THINK, ACT AND REACT TO EVENTS IN YOUR LIVES TODAY! When you speak positive affirmations that state what you want the outcome of a situation to be, your subconscious mind goes to work to make it happen. If you tell yourself,"I will do my absolute best and whatever the outcome may be, I will be proud of what I have accomplished!", you will be well on your way to creating positive emotional history by using powerful affirmations that will inspire you to attempt all things through an awareness of personal belief and self acceptance.

I do realize that not all of us were blessed enough to have had regular and positive upbringings. For some, childhood was exceptionally difficult and there may have been traumatic ordeals that make it seem ridiculously hopeless to think that you can change YOUR emotional history. I would never downplay your emotions or try to say that I totally understand where you are coming from. Every human is uniquely individual in their emotional makeup. You may not have the ability to change the events that occurred or the things that happened to you, but you can LOVE and ENCOURAGE yourself, you can use positive words and create positive thoughts, you can work hard towards changing the way you see yourself and how you react to situations that happen to you today.
