Finding stable peace of mind and lasting happiness flowers directly from the thoughts we hold and stories we tell ourselves. Affirmations are blueprints the mind can use to make connections, to energetically give and receive, stay focused and find patterns that work. Meditation and affirmation therapy can slow the thought parade while planting seeds of joy and happiness. A good attitude comes from seeing things in the right light. Focusing the lens of perception to see reality clearly, yet in a positive light, is the most important human skill to develop. Since our mind can only hold one thought at a time, planting affirmative ideas seeds our spirit with thoughts that become reality.
