Positive thoughts and intention are the key to every success. Thanks to them, paths open up before you. It is willpower placed at the service of your plans. When you decide to pursue your dreams, you end up finding solutions to the problems you face.
Discover how to use the power of your intention to move forward with serenity.
Our Brain: A Formidable Transmitter
We each produce 60,000 thoughts a day, 95% of which are repeated daily, and among them roughly 80% are negative thoughts.
To meet our imperative of survival, our brains give more weight to unproductive experiences than to their affirmative equivalents.
Yet it turns out that these trivial ruminations stimulate brain areas that trigger anxiety and depression, whereas exciting daydreams prompt the release of well-being hormones, translating into a feeling of calm and peace.
How Do You Use Your Intention and Positive Thoughts?
This is a deliberate act. Which means it is not spontaneous. It does not present itself to you on its own. It makes no sudden appearance. You have to decide to call on it in order to activate it. Becoming the author of your own life is a state of mind that has to be cultivated. The decision then needs to be made concrete, to be brought to life. So begin by making it less abstract. Talk about it with people you trust. Write it down in a notebook. That way you keep a record of it and stay aligned with the goals you set yourself. All the more so since science proves to us that the brain can be reprogrammed.
Here, then, are the wonderful sentences worth cultivating. Repeated knowingly, until they create new neural pathways and turn into new behaviours. Take a highlighter and underline the statements you find yourself resisting. Repeat those sentences until you end up convinced that they are true. A miraculous life change guaranteed.

A Few Tips
If you would like to devise your own affirmations, make sure they are always expressed positively and in the present tense (no negatives).
Affirmations made in the second person singular are in fact more powerful. Take the time to grow familiar with affirmations by using the first person singular at first, then move on to the second person.
The best moments to practise these suggestions are in the morning on waking or in the evening at bedtime.
Practise these positive suggestions every day and go for the affirmations that stir the most emotion in you.
