Many years ago I was introduced to David Wolfe, now a household name in the raw food movement. David's mantra for success is to have 'the best day ever' – every single day. Although the affirmation always resonated with me, I didn't understand the genius of it until very recently.
Affirmations are incredibly important, as they help set the tone for our entire day. We all deserve to feel amazing, but too often our ego's get in the way. Waking up and telling oneself that 'today is the best day ever' gives us permission to feel amazing in a world that only expects marginal. But you have to really believe it. Give yourself permission to look in the mirror and say with confidence 'TODAY IS THE BEST DAY EVER!!!'. Your life will begin to transform.
When we do affirmations we literally broadcast that thought frequency to the universe. The brilliance of 'today is the best day ever', is that it's open ended and nonspecific. We aren't asking the universe to deliver a Ferrari or the perfect job, we simply ask that today be the best ever whatever that may be.
You owe it to yourself to live the best possible version of who you are. Your life can change quickly if you apply the right techniques on a regular basis. Affirmations are an incredible way to kick start that change!
