We all want to have friends that we can trust and rely on, ones that will be there for us, understand us, laugh with us and cry with us.
But it can be difficult to find friends like this.
You can, however, create the conditions that will encourage friendships to form by using.
Affirmations are positive statements that you say to yourself or out loud.
The more you believe in them, the stronger their positive effect.
Here are some helpful affirmations to use in building friendships:
What are affirmations, and how do they work?
Affirmations are positive statements, which are repeated over and over again, usually intended to help you get rid of negative thoughts.
They work by resetting negative thought patterns with positive ones by altering how you think, feel, and act.
If you repeat an affirmation frequently enough, it becomes entrenched into your mind to the point that it influences your other thoughts, causing you to act differently and ultimately change your behavior.
For example, if you tell yourself repeatedly, “I have no friends” or “I’m lonely,” you will begin to feel lonely and perceive yourself to be a friendless person.
However, if you tell yourself, “I have many friends” or “I’m surrounded by people who genuinely care about me,” you will begin to feel different and act differently in social situations.
Whatever you think about will eventually manifest in your life, so the more you concentrate on positive, happy ideas, the happier your life will be.
Affirmations can be used to accomplish anything just as long you believe that they can work.
