- 5:42you down. And that's by roy T. Bennett The Light in the Heart.
- 5:50And on tonight we're gonna talk about self affirmination. A lot of times
- 6:01people have to change their mindset, even the Bible speaks of thinking things above,
- 6:10thinking things that are lovely, thinking things that are pure, keeping your
- 6:14mind on Jesus. But a lot of people have negative talk. They have
- 6:19negative self talk. It's just like, have you ever I know you have,
- 6:27because most people have. You get up, and you get up,
- 6:31they say, you get up on the wrong side of the bed, and
- 6:34you kick the cat, You yell at the kids, and you declare that
- 6:40this is the worst day ever. And after you make that decoration, everything,
- 6:47excuse me, everything that could go wrong goes wrong because you've spoken into
- 6:55existence. You said this is the worst day ever. Maybe you got to
- 7:00late and instead of looking at well, the reason why I was delayed is
- 7:05maybe because God was trying to keep something from me. Maybe there was gonna
- 7:11be an accident on the road. Maybe when we look at the negative instead
- 7:16of the positive. So on tonight we're gonna talk about positive affirminations. I
- 7:25know everybody has heard of positive affirminations because people are beginning to change their lifestyle,
- 7:36their mindset. You likely heard of self affirmation, but you might not
- 7:44know exactly what it means. While you may imagine someone standing in front of
- 7:50a mirror repeating a phrase over and over again. There is more to establishing
- 8:00positive affirm nation practice. I remember, before I went to work in the
- 8:09morning, I used to have a negative self image of myself. I didn't
- 8:13like the way I looked in the mirror, I didn't like the way I
- 8:16looked in pictures. And I started a routine of every morning, when I
- 8:24get up, I look in the mirror and I say, good morning,
- 8:31you b b W you big beautiful woman. And I repeated that every day,
- 8:39every day until I got it into my spirit that I was a beautiful
- 8:46woman, that I was marvelously made, that God made me in his image,
- 8:52and he made me just the way he wanted me to be. And
- 8:56I would trail that down to my children and school so they would have a
- 9:01good day. I would tell them to repeat aftter me. I am good,
- 9:07I am worthy, I am beautiful, I am intelligent. And if
- 9:11you keep repeating those things, especially from young because these babies were three years
- 9:18old, so you imagine if from three years old too, adelhood, that
- 9:24they tell theirselves every day that they are intelligent, that they are pretty,
- 9:31that they are more than enough, it will get into their spirit and they
- 9:35will begin to believe it. It's just like if someone speaks negative over your
- 9:41life. People used to always say, Oh, you gotta be like your
- 9:45alcoholic daddy, you gotta be like your drug addict mother, And they would
- 9:50speak negative things to people, and they began to identify with those things that
- 9:56were spoken over their life. They felt like they couldn't be any better than
- 10:03their parents because someone had already spoken over their life that they were gonna be
- 10:09just like their parents. So it's important not to speak negative over our children's
- 10:20life. Using positive iffirminations can help you improve mental health and promote overall well
- 10:31being, even for those experience and symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other
- 10:39challenges. Positive infirminations are straightforward statements such as I am loved or I let
- 10:52it go, used to accomplish goals, overcome negative thoughts, and boots self
- 11:00confidence. Negative thoughts can develop into patterns of behavior. That's what I was
- 11:09just saying that if you speak negative over our person's life, they will begin
- 11:18to act negative. Negative thoughts can develop into patterns of behavior, preventing us
- 11:26from achieving our goals and impacting our mental health. It's very important the topic
- 11:39of mental health, especially mental health in the Black community and the Black church
- 11:46is very important to have these discussions because they think it's taboo. It's all
- 11:54right to take your diabetes medicine, it's all right to take your high blood
- 12:01pressure medicine. But role when you start taking a talking about taking depression pills
- 12:07and anxiety pills, and they want to say that it's a spirit, especially
- 12:13if you go to church, that they want to slap some oil on you.
- 12:18And a lot of times you go to church with these problems in your
- 12:24head and you leave out a church just a oily, unhappy person, and
- 12:31you wonder what is wrong with you? When you're speaking these positive infirminations,
- 12:37but you're still having these negative thoughts. And sometimes it's okay not to be
- 12:45okay to seek therapy, and if you need meditation, it's okay to take
- 12:52the meditation. Many people of the clergy are dying silently because they don't feel
- 13:01like they have anyone to talk to, that anyone understands them. So anyway,
- 13:07that was a sidebar back to positive affirminations. Affirminations are a way of
- 13:22challenging those thoughts and behaviors. Research recommends thinking of them as an opportunity to
- 13:35remind yourself that you have strength, characteristics, and power, regardless of what
- 13:45negative thoughts may be telling you. There are many ways to use positive affirmination
- 13:54to accomplish your goals. While some folks fit for to repeat a statement out
- 14:01loud, others may favor writing out or recording their affirminations. In order to
- 14:11begin a practice of affirminations, you have to wake up every morning if it's
- 14:20when it's the most convenient time for you. But every day you have to
- 14:24find a time to say your chirmination because anything that you do for twenty one
- 14:33days becomes a habit. And if you can visualize yourself doing something, you
- 14:41can do it. There's a statement that I love. I say it all
- 14:46the time. If your mind can conceive it and your heart can receive it,
- 14:56then you can achieve. And that's a way of positive affirmation. Well,
- 15:07it's time. It's time for a commercial break. We gotta have a
- 15:11commercial break, and we're gonna come right back and talk about positive affirminations again.
- 15:26Hey, y'all, it's the Queen. It's the Queen. It's the

- 16:00Hello, Hello, I'm back. I'm back, and we're talking about
- 16:07positive effermination. Especially when you're building up a practice, talking to yourself in
- 16:15the mirror may feel uncomfortable and possibly discourage you from continuing. Find what works
- 16:22for you and give yourself permission to try something different if it isn't working.
- 16:32This could mean a sticky note attached to your mirror or your computer screen,
- 16:40a note card taped to your tape to your cars DA's board, a voice
- 16:45memo on your phone that you listen to whenever you want, writing the same
- 16:53positive statement, A set number of times repeating your affirminations allowed in the mirror,
- 17:03shower, a car. You may also want to consider it to consider
- 17:10combinding a self affirmination practice with other self help techniques or strategies, such as
- 17:18goal setting, visualization, or positive thinking. Men to practice. Research recommends
- 17:29building a daily routine and choosing a time of the day when you can practice
- 17:36yourffirminations freely and without distraction. Think about it when you need a little boost,
- 17:45right before work, right before you go to bed. Figure out a
- 17:51routine you can do once a day and stick with that for a week.
- 17:57Research suggests starting with a few minutes each day and adding or subtracting time as
- 18:07needed. Change doesn't happen overnight, so it's important to stay consistent and be
- 18:17patient with regular practice. You begin to notice a shift over time. At
- 18:25first, try to complete twenty one days with your daily practice of positive affirmination.
- 18:34This could be, for example, repeating your statements during telecommuting, or
- 18:41listen to audio while you go to sleep. If you're looking for a starting
