Personal and Professional Success: 5 affirmations

If you declare every day that you can’t, that you are not capable or that you don’t deserve it, that is what you will get. Not because it is true, but because you have told yourself so many times that you end up convinced of it. To face it and achieve personal success, you need to use positive affirmations. Positive affirmations are small but powerful phrases that you dedicate to yourself and that help you change beliefs or mental patterns that limit you in reaching your goals.

Remember that the mind is the most powerful tool we have and that if used correctly it can help us to achieve great benefits. Here are the phrases that from now on you should start using to achieve personal, academic and professional success.

You are intelligent and capable

Intelligence has little to do with the ability to get excellent academic grades, or to achieve promotions at work. Moreover, if you look closely, many successful people did not even go to university.

This quality is more related to the ability to solve difficulties in life, to relate to people who can contribute to your growth, to synthesise knowledge, among other things.

All this leads a person to become capable of achieving their goals in a positive way and with a positive approach. But, you must start by repeating it to yourself every day in front of the mirror, in order to internalise that you are someone with the mental and physical capacities necessary to succeed.

You have what it takes to get what you want

Affirming and believing that you have the resources, both mental and physical, to achieve your goals will keep you motivated and you will be able to take advantage of any opportunities for training, developing and improving your own skills, as well as those that have to do with money.

This phrase will help you to maintain the energy you need to face new challenges every day and to cross your own limits with strength. Moving towards your goals.

Trust yourself and your decisions

Distrust is the mother of failure. Convincing yourself that you have the skills and capacity to make the right decisions is essential to move forward in your projects.

If you are constantly seeking advice or approval from others, procrastinating in your decision-making, or comparing your results with those of others and underestimating your efforts, you need to repeat this phrase to yourself.

Building solid foundations requires trust; and this is valid not only for personal projects, but also for building good interpersonal relationships.

Confidence will make you make decisions with certainty and responsibility, and will help you understand (when something goes wrong) that it is not a matter of your abilities, trying again until you reach your goal.

Success is in your plans

It is normal for external situations, such as the economy, work or time, to affect our ability to achieve what we set out to do. However, these are just obstacles in the way, and even if we don’t succeed today, we may succeed tomorrow.

Constantly repeating that we will succeed personally and professionally in our plans will help us to attract positive energies. To face those obstacles with the best disposition and to get up every day with the intention of achieving what we want so much. Without focusing on the things that cannot be done, but on those that we can and that represent progress for our plans.

Success is linked to security, confidence, perseverance and effort, as well as the times you take risks to take difficult paths that lead to the best results. In this sense, internalising this phrase is the best way to start your day.

Be proud of your achievements

To be mentally and emotionally healthy, it is necessary to be proud of your abilities, achievements and goals.

Although it may seem like it, pride has nothing to do with vanity; it is a habit that builds self-confidence, satisfaction and happiness.

In a world where competition is the daily routine, it is difficult to accept and value oneself in a genuine way. However, it is necessary to encourage this thought in order to believe and convince ourselves that what we have achieved has been thanks to our qualities and virtues. Which in turn will help us to go much further, always from a humble perspective and without underestimating the achievements of others.

Repeating these affirmations daily will help us to attract positive things to our lives, not because they arrive magically, but because we will have a mentality focused on opportunities and not on failures.
