Let's talk about Love Affirmations

Do you believe in them? Do you believe you can attract love into your life? Success stories? Or just a bunch of hippie bullshit??

I ask because I am a huge believer in affirmations just in general, but I believe you also have to do the work. I.e. you cant believe in only speaking things into your life and yet refuse to progress your own spirit, body and mind. To me, that is the classic case of God opening up doors into your life yet you refuse to walk through.

With this said, I started back up my affirmations, particularly ones to cultivate self love and confidence, as sometimes I lose sight of my natural inner confidence. Long story short, I ended up messing around with a few love affirmations, I am familiar with them and do think they work but you have to be careful because you can also attract the wrong things into your life depending on your vibrations. I have noticed as of recently a vibrstion shift to me, and I can quite literally feel love (or at lesst romance) nearby...this feeling is never wrong when I sense it (maybe my Pisces intuition). Anyway usually just before I meet someone, I alwayd end up attracting to me like flies all these guys from my past, guys i have no interest in, never did, yet cling to me like honey...its annoying. They all pop back up like clockwork...then I may have a few hit or misses with a few new men that I meet before finding someone right...now whether it lasts always depends on me and if the universe is trying to teach me a damn lesson lol.

Anyone notice such trends?

I know what you mean. Like you can sense the real love is near then all these ex's and shit start to pop up. These are tests from Universe seeing if you are truly ready, I'd say. If you go back to what you know is not good for you (an ex that did you wrong) then you aren't ready. It's like you have to make sure that old door is shut before a new one can open.

You can also make vision boards for your manifestations of love and confidence

And also like you said you can attract the wrong things depending on your vibration so you have to make sure you are taking care of yourself first and the match will come to you.

Love affirmations as in believing you have to give love out to attract it into your life? If so, then yes, being in a healthy place mentally I believe can bring it into your life even if you're not expecting it to happen at all. But I'm not sure I know what love affirmations means, lol. That's interesting though, that you can sense love near you. I can only do that when I know it by a person's behavior/signals/body language, etc. I am a very strong believer in your vibrations attracting different types of people.

Yes, but also truly opening up yourself to the possibility of love. Sometimes life can put so much weight on us spiritually and its important to cleanse yourself of any spiritual junk. I look at some of my friends who just have failed relationship after failed relationship OR are just constantly single, become so negative and bitter towards love and then wonder why they never have an opportunity to meet potential lovers. You are most certainly what you think and feel.

I'm inclined to believe it's hippie bullshit. But I'm open to having my mind changed. What affirmations are you using?

Well I typically focus on self love affirmations, things like:

"I am beautiful and wonderfully made."

Yeah, yeah, yeah it reads like some damn mushy, sensitive, hippy ullshit but the way we feel about ourselves and thusly what we project out into the world all begins with our inner voice.

If I want to focus specifically on romantic relationships, I will first begin journaling about lessons in love that I still know I have yet to master. So for instance, if you struggle with falling to fast in love, its important to self assess as to why that is. Self awareness is, in my opinion the first key in elevating the type of energy you put out into the world.

I'm not trying to come across like some hippy or alternative know it all, I'm just very enthusaistic about this stuff because it has done wonders in my life and self esteem.

Anyway, shit works. Ever wonder why negative nancy never has good shit happen to her? But carefree (not lazy mofos) just always seem to radiate happiness and attract fun and excitement into their life?

Bullshit* not ullshit lmao

I believe you attract what you put out...that's not saying things happen overnight...but I believe you are provided exactly what you NEED (not what you WANT) when you need it...

It's very easy to lose faith, get disheartened, become bitter...but those things just work against you when things are trying to work FOR You...

I agree. My best friend and I were having this conversation and we were talking about some of our past relationships and she kept saying "I just dont get it. We are good girls, like we are good women and would be GOOD to a man." But I think no matter how wrong someone may have done you, there is something in our spirit that attracts those type of individuals. There's some lesson and opportunity for growth.

Anyway, I am just trying to keep my spirit lifted because I struggle with that.

You are beautiful and wonderfully made.

I love it.

Have anymore for someone who'd like to start affirmations?

This is a bit silly (and not to mention adorable) so I have to share this with everyone in this thread.

Be the love that you want to see in the world. Why not start with home and see it flourish beyond yourself right?

The more I love myself, the better I care for myself, the happier I feel, the more of myself I am willing to give, the more kindness and positivity I exude, the better I attract others.
