Positive Affirmation: A Nugget for Personal Mastery

It’s a great feeling to end your day knowing that you have accomplished the days planned activities. Well, not all days are like that there are some days that may seem so challenging and one may be disappointed guess we have all gone through such days. Today my day started with some bit of frustrations and all through the day I can count one frustration after the other and I was wondering what was going on. We run a restaurant and the lunch was not yet ready and I noticed the chef was not having a good. Deep inside my heart I was asking what was going on but one thing that kept we going on I kept a positive attitude believing all will be well and kept encouraging him and thanked him for the great work even when he was grieving a loss of a loved one. I kept a smile to the customers actually today we gave away free meals to some of our loyal clients and know what we made great sales today compared the other days during this month

So how is positive affirmation a linked to personal mastery?

Positive affirmations are a powerful way to bring positive energy into your life and can result in life-changing results in any area of your life. They are an important aspect of positive thinking and are critical to the development of a positive mental attitude. To give affirmation is to positively assert approval of someone or something. A positive affirmation is a statement of something positive about another person, said with utmost conviction, belief and emotion. 

Our affirmation can be given in recognition of a person’s skills, personality, or actions. The problem is that a lot of times we assume that others know how much we appreciate them. Then we fall into the trap of expressing nothing meaningful about the value they add to our life. But it shouldn’t be that way! Here are three reasons why we should consider giving affirmation to others. 

Giving affirmation to others changes our perspective

Pointing out the negative isn’t that hard. In fact, it comes quite naturally to many of us. Identifying the positive, however, requires effort. But when we commit to looking for the strengths and good attributes in others, we tend to find them. This shifts our attitude and perspective, and in time, helps us to develop a new habit.

Giving affirmation to others helps build relationships

Positive affirmation empowers others and strengthens self- esteem. Receiving affirmation also helps to increase their confidence, resulting in improved well-being and performance.

Giving affirmation makes way for constructive feedback

If you’re known for giving affirmation, your criticism — if feedback — will be better received. People who ordinarily look for positives, afford themselves the privilege of offering negative feedback when needed. 

Well, by making a daily practice of giving affirmation, you’ll have a more positive outlook in life, be the kind of person others want to be around, and position yourself to be able to offer feedback that’ll help others to be their best. You will notice emotions/thoughts will trigger reactions in you, you will discover something new about yourself, and lastly you will strengthen bonds between your closed ones.
