Happy 2018 darlings! Can you believe it, we are already half way through the first month of the new year?!
Time flies, and we fly with it. How happily this time flies depends on the many curve balls life throws in our paths.
Life has a way of throwing many curve balls in our path. My life has been no exception to those very unpleasant curve balls. From a broken heart, to a broken soul, to coming down a negative spiral….I’ve been everywhere.
In those very very negative times, the few things that helped me heal were my faith in the Divine and my own positive self talk.
Although spirituality came to me at a very early age, its not until pretty late that I realized it wasn’t anyone or anything that’s hurting me…it was me all along! HOW? My own thinking was eating me alive. When I read and learnt about positive thinking and positive affirmations…I was already too muddled to realize the full benefits of this simple healing magic. It was while IN one of these trying times that I revisited my own thoughts and began putting my knowledge to good practical use. Within no time, I was OUT of my negative patterns and could see clearly. I was feeling alive again.
I don’t want YOU to wait to heal…till its too late and you are left with more regrets than good memories. The time to heal is NOW! This NEW YEAR, I want you to decide that you are going to take the first imperative step to heal…..and that step is to cut the problem at its root: our thinking. The best way to start feeding your mind by using positive thoughts and positive affirmations.
5 Positive thoughts & 5 Positive Affirmations for a Super 2018
Positive thoughts and affirmations work best when we can use them consciously. Every-time you feel a whiff of negativity take over your thoughts, consciously make an effort to flip that negative thought with a positive one. Topping it up with a positive affirmation after makes the positivity stick. Making this a daily practice can make you get rid of the unconscious negative thinking patterns we are all so prone to. Here are few of my favorite positive thoughts and affirmations to get you started. You can create your own as per your situation too.
1. Shine you own light, Show your true colors, Be Your OWN Person.
2. Be happy in the moment, that’s enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.
3. No one is in charge of your HAPPINESS except YOU! Take charge, BE Happy!
4. Live a life of love, honesty, appreciation, kindness and strength. Sprinkled with a little silliness 🙂
5. I’ve learned that what has passed should remain in the past….otherwise time can’t do its job of healing the heart.
1. *Positive Affirmation*: “Everything is getting better everyday”
2. Positive Affirmation: I CHOOSE TO BE POSITIVE TODAY AND EVERYDAY!
3. Positive Affirmation: “I accept what I cannot change.”
4. Positive Affirmation: I AM OPEN TO POSITIVE CHANGE IN ALL AREAS OF MY LIFE.
5. NEW YEAR POSITIVE AFFIRMATION: “My positive attitude promises a coming year of great happiness and success.”
Today is the first blank page of a 365-page book waiting to be written just by you. Write a good one.
Remember: For a new year to bring you something new, make a move, like a butterfly tearing its cocoon! Make a move and write brilliantly beautiful pages full of Love and happiness.
I hope the new year is treating you well so far. May things only get shinier and super happier as it progresses.

“I don’t want YOU to wait to heal”, this is the part I’m going to remember in this post. For some reason I’ve just let myself go and reading this truly feels like the post was written as a reminder for me to get back up and keep moving so Thank you for that 🙂
Thank You So much Dear Zeenat Mam,
Very Happy New Year..2018!!
All quotes are very enthusiastic and Nice..
Love,
Nilima.
So encouraging, as always Zeenat. It’s always an uplifting experience to visit your blog. Thanks for the inspiration.
These are beautiful, Zeenat! I so resonated with your messages: “My own thinking was eating me alive.” Although I’ve come a long way, last year was such a tough one and my mind went a bit wild with it all. I do think other people do hurtful things, and it’s only human to be hurt. But we don’t want to get stuck there, do we? In those moments, just like you, I find I need to work with my mind so that I don’t multiply the pains and make it linger and linger. These positive affirmations are such a great medicine.
I love your affirmations, Zeenat. This one stands out to me today: “I accept what I cannot change.” Thank you and all the best for the new year!
I love these. So much positivity in one place makes me smile! I can use several of the affirmations. I especially like “I am open to positive change in all areas of my life.” Well, because I am! Bring it on. 🙂
love love love these Zeenat, my Fave is 1, this is the year to shine and be bold and the being open to change- which i am right now and my body is reacting well too by reminding me in ways i would rather it didn’t / yes here is to a very special 2018 love and hugs Suzie xxoo
