Artist PaintingCreative people believe they are creative. People who think they are not creative actually talk themselves into not being creative. They say; “I’m just not creative!” This statement in itself is an inhibitor. What you believe to be true usually becomes true. Your mind creates what you program it to create. Therefore, you must remember that some of the most important words you will ever say are the words you say to yourself. Affirmations help you to program your thinking.

An affirmation is a personal and positive statement said in the present tense: I am creative, I am coming up with new ideas, I use my creative talents, or I am finding ways to solve something through constant repetition. It causes your subconscious mind to act accordingly. It is important to affirm that you are creative in order to influence your own thinking and change your beliefs. You may never be a Marie Curie or a Leonardo da Vinci, but the ideas you contribute are necessary and important.

Our thoughts have power! Our thinking influences our feelings and shapes our behaviors. Affirmations help us take control of our thoughts and achieve positive outcomes. The belief that you are creative can be achieved through positive affirmation.

Affirm to yourself that you are creative in order to overcome the fears that inhibit creativity.  Write your own positive affirmation!  “I am creative!”
