Affirm Your Dreadlocks

Psychologists estimate seventy-two to ninety-five percent of normal adult's self talk is negative or self-critical.  I cannot stress enough the importance of feeding the subconscious mind with positive words and actions.  One of the most powerful ways to do this is using affirmations. 

Affirmations are saying something repeatedly to yourself to help your mind change a bad habit or create a new one.  Great inventors, writers, artists, athletes, businessmen, politicians, and speakers use it to affirm their success.

 Take, for example, Muhammad Ali's well-known affirmation "I am the greatest."  When I started growing my dreadlocks, I told myself daily, "My long thin dreadlocks look and feel wonderful.  I have a head full of powerful dreadlocks." 

The basic premise of affirmation is to talk to your self consistently in a positive manner.  Everything you say about yourself, either out loud or quietly, good or bad, is an affirmation.  This information goes straight to the subconscious where it is recorded for future use.  It is important to never dwell on self-criticism or what you think are your inadequacies.  Instead, only repeat the wonderful things about yourself.

When you learn how to use affirmations in your life the right way, you will be amazed at how wonderful you life will become with you incredible new style of dreadlocks.
