How to Trust and Strengthen Your Belief in the Universe

From the time we were young, we were made to believe that your bills should always be paid, you need to come out top in your class, and you should have a good-paying job. I’m not saying those are bad, but when you can’t live up to societal expectations, it can leave you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and anxious. No matter how you try to look at things, no one is ever truly in control, and in moments like this you need to remind yourself, “I gotta have faith in the universe.”

Whether things are difficult now, you are doubtful if things will work out your way, or you are simply stressed, all you need to do is surrender to the universe to experience ease and peace in your life. What comes to your mind when you hear the words ‘faith’ and ‘belief’? If you are like most people, you probably think about religion. But it’s outside the bounds of religion. It’s universal. Whatever you believe in – God, The Big Guy, Higher Forces, The Universe… It doesn’t matter. Always trust that there is a power out there that gets you anything good you want and desire.

This doesn’t mean that you have to change your way of life or quit your job to meditate on a high mountain. Trusting the universe means that you are certain that everything will be taken care of. A job will come. You will manifest your dream partner. You will graduate with good grades, and as far as your eyes can see, it will be yours.

Trusting the universe is an art – a process. To trust the universe, we need to have a leap of faith.

In the process of trusting and strengthening your belief in the universe, there are a few things you should keep in mind:

You are not online – you’re a reflection of the universe

Our connection to the stars, the world, and everything around us that can light up our path is actually within us. You are a reflection of the universe and that’s why you act like you are part of something big and powerful. The universe is here, it’s big, and you are a part of it. I don’t want you to think of the universe as a higher power – but an accomplice.

Look up to it to learn about how it changes your life. The moment you realize and accept that you are special, the faster your reality starts to change for the better. Own your readiness to accept the universe unconditionally. Take that leap of faith because one day, you’ll be the happiest person alive and all your dreams will come through.

Let Go of Things You Can’t Control

When you have no faith, you want to control everything. You want to do things your way without considering any other thing or people. The actions in your life become tight and bureaucratic, without allowing the universe to work with you and give you directions. As a part of growth, you need to learn to relax and let go of things you can’t control. Most people beat themselves up because they can’t “handle” things.

But in reality, the only way you can get clarity is to release your sense of control and allow yourself to flow with the universe’s rhythm. While on some levels, you can control certain things in your life, you should be aware that some things are way out of your league. Give yourself the chance to trust the universe. You may be surprised that the unknown you fear may turn out to work in your favor. Rather than holding on tight to things, you should try new adventures that could be beneficial to you.

Say Positive Affirmations

If you are unsure about what will happen in the future, always tell yourself, “I have faith in the universe. All things will work out the way they should.”

As simple as that sounds, it builds your trust that the universe has your best interests at heart.

If you don’t get that promotion at work, or if that project didn’t turn out fine, I want you to believe that there is a better one out there for you. We aren’t meant to navigate life without the water stirring up once in a while – it’s what comes after these challenges that shows you why you went through them. When you surrender to the universe, timing, enlightenment, and peace follow.
The universe is meant to serve you. Know that it wants you to be happy.

It All Comes Back to Love

Love is the greatest force in the universe. Love is caring. Love is having faith. Love forgives. Love is tolerant and understanding. Love is not controlling. Love is pure.  Love is all around and within you. By emitting love from your life, you’ll attract so much more than love from the universe.

Develop the mindset that the universe loves you and that’s why it serves it even when it doesn’t work out well for you. Sometimes not getting what you want is the best.

Trust Your Intuition

Your intuition is your guide in life. It is the number one method the universe uses to communicate with us. But since it’s a subtle part of our consciousness, it is often unheard and overlooked. One of my favorite quotes is from Alexandria Hotmer. She said, “if we would just take a moment to look around, we would find that the universe is in constant communication with us.”

Trusting the universe means believing that everything holds a purpose in your life. The good things, the bad things, and everything’s meant to push you a step further to where you are meant to be. So listen to your intuition. The guidance you seek comes from within your soul.

Conclusion

The greatest gift you can give yourself is knowing that the universe has your back no matter what. You have to trust it daily, even when things are not working out well. There are no ifs or sometimes. You need to be in constant communication with the higher force because it will give you clear direction.

When you trust it blindly and fully, the universe gives you anything and everything you desire. Take that bold decision today and embrace the universe to serve you.

Not surprised you asked.

After all, few things can boast of landing you a dream job or partner by saying a few words.

So it’s no surprise you want to confirm if it’s worth your time before diving in. And if you’re like me, it almost sounds too good to be true.

In fact, if you called b.s. a few years ago to someone saying you could have the good things in life…

Land a new job, get a raise, or find yourself a dream house by simply saying a bunch of words…

I’d be right there supporting you. Calling the person a fraud. Or ignorant, at best.

But now? My mind’s in a different place.

Thanks to daily (and positive) affirmations I’ve attracted a bunch of things I’m eternally grateful for.

Like a supportive wife and family. Plus a brand new car at the start of the year.

So if you’ve wrestled with the question: “Do daily affirmations work?”

Here’s the short answer, yes.

For the long answer, we’ll dive into the deep end of the affirmation sea to uncover a few treasures.

And by the time you start practicing what you’ll discover on this page…

You’ll walk around feeling so good people will wonder why.

How do daily affirmations work?

At first thought, it might seem like fantasy. But there’s a whole lot going on behind the scenes that gives affirmations so much power.

You see, if you repeat something to yourself long and often enough, it starts to shape your thoughts and reality.

That’s the underlying principle behind why they work so well.

The way you speak to yourself is important. Because it forms a solid foundation for your thoughts and feelings to build on.

You see, our brains are pretty clever. Feeding your mind positive beliefs through your words rewires your brain to see yourself in a whole new light.

It’s giving your best self the attention it deserves. With this, your manifestations are stronger because you feel more confident.

Remember, aligning your feelings with what you want is how you manifest the things you wish to achieve.

And there’s no better way to do this like affirmations

As you say the words, watch as you feel a change in energy inside you. It’s almost surreal.

That change? That feeling you get when you say something good about yourself?

Well, that’s your subconscious slowly adjusting as you install a new belief system.

Now before we continue, it’s important you see affirmations as a double edged sword.

Meaning they can work for you or against you. So you’ve got to create the right ones.

The next part shows you how.

How to create powerful affirmations that work

Good and bad. Yin and Yang. Sugar and Vinegar

Well, you kinda get the point – for every right way to do something, there’s a wrong way that can ruin your efforts.

Luckily for you, I’ve got a few rules to unleash all the power inside affirmations.

They’ll guide you to create your own. And provide you with insights to spot great ones.

You can also see them as tips if you like.

So let’s get into it:

1. Keep them positive.

This comes first above all else. It’s vital you stay in the zone of positivity with ALL your manifestations.

No negative words. Or phrases that reinforce negativity.

They only block your desires from manifesting.

Like I said, positive words are like fuel in your manifestation journey. Because they align your energy with the goals or desires you want to achieve.

For example, let’s take a look at two affirmations for someone that wants to escape a stressful job to a new I.T job.

E.g 1 “I now have an enjoyable and fun I.T job.”

E.g 2 “I’m tired of my current job”

No. 1 is the clear winner.

It keeps things fun, and positive. Which is how you want yours to be like.

2. Stay in the present.

This is a common area most people get wrong.

They think: “I want a better job, house or lifestyle in the future”

So they go ahead and create their affirmations in the future tense.

Well, that poses a big problem. Why?

Because your desires get stuck in the future. And we both know you want them in your life like right now.

A key part of the law of attraction is the “power of present”

Whether it’s being fully present in your manifestations. Or saying your affirmations in the present tense.

The goal is to say your desires like you already have them.

Here are some examples.

-Low self-esteem? : “I am confident and comfortable in my own skin.”

-Hate your job?:. “I have a wonderful [insert dream job]

-Want to lose weight?:. “I love how my body looks”

3. Keep things short.

Brevity shows clarity. It highlights the fact that you’re sure about the things you want.

And this is great for you. Because you radiate a special kind of energy the universe will pick up on and send some goodies your way.

Short affirmations are quality ones. And they stand out due to their straight-to-the-point nature.

How To Do Affirmations

After nailing down the creation process of affirmations, it’s time to put them to use.

By now, you should have a few on your mind or a piece of paper.

So let’s look at a few ways to get them to work for you.

1 Repeat them everyday.

Some people are confused about the right frequency for affirmations.

In my experience, anything from three times a day upwards is fine.

The key to success with anything – especially affirmations, is consistency.

Daily commitment speeds up the process of attracting your desires.

Plus, it reinforces positive thoughts that shape your life. And transform you into the person you want to become.

2. Stay positive.

It takes a huge amount of conscious effort to stay positive.

So I know it’s not always easy. But just like the words you came up with for your affirmations, you’ve got to a bring a positive attitude each time you say them.

A good way to get into this state is to think of something that’s working in your life.

Could be anything. Just make sure it’s positive so you can slip into the right state of mind.

3. Say them in front of a mirror

This adds a really fun twist to things.

Why?

Because in this section you’re going to say your affirmations in first, second, and third person.

Like this:

“I love….”

“You love….”

“[Insert your name ] loves….”

Pretty simple, and fun too.

So it’s You, I, then your name attached to the rest of the affirmation.

Hard to stay sad while doing this one, eh?

When to use affirmations.

It’s time to zoom in on negative events where affirmations serve as useful tools.

I call this the magic pill effect. Because these events infect our mood and drop our energy levels.

Plus, if we’re being honest, it’s almost impossible to stay away from them 24/7.

Affirmations help us challenge negative thoughts or feelings these events create in us.

Here are just few scenarios you can use affirmations:

-When you’re feeling stuck and unsure of your next move.

-When your vibes off and you’re not sure why. They’ll raise your energy so you give off higher vibrations.

-When you’ve got a new goal you want to achieve

Final Thoughts

So it’s a wrap.

Affirmations are words. And words have immense power to shape your life into something you’ll be proud of.

The more you tell yourself how amazing you are or your situation is, the faster you can attract good things into your life.
