Welcome to another episode of 10 IN10TIONAL Minutes with Janine.
I am your host and we will explore meaningful insights and perspectives to help you navigate your professional career with purpose and IN10TIONALITY.
The next 10 episodes will work a little bit differently.
We'll be delving into confessions and affirmations inspired by timeless principles found in Biblical teachings.
Save or pin this podcast for later so that you can re-listen to these affirmations and make confessions as you drive to work, during a workout, before bed or even when you wake up.
Why do I need to do confessions and why are they important?
The reason why I do confessions is because the Word says in Mark 11:23- 24 : "Truly I tell you if anyone says to this mountain go throw yourself into the sea and does not doubt in their heart but believes that whatever they say will happen it will be done for them therefore I tell you whatever you ask in prayer believe that you have received it and it will be yours."
When we do confessions and affirmations, we are saying it out loud, God hears what we say and if we truly believe it, it will be done for us in that way.
So the reason for confessions and what is the difference between confessions and affirmations?
The Why?
For me, confessions is based on self-reflection.
When we are confessing something, it encourages us to reflect on our actions, our decisions and our behaviors and that fosters
1. Self-awareness.
When we come to developing leaders within ourself or self-leadership, then self-awareness is one of the key things we need to develop in the process of leadership.
Self-efficacy is just as important because that is that thing that you know that you know that you know that you can overcome any hardship that comes your way.
Self-knowledge Self-knowledge comes through self-reflection.
Self-reflection is confessions that encourage you to reflect on your actions, decisions, and behaviors that fosters self-awareness.
2. Accountability.
They help you to take responsibility for your actions and then acknowledge the impact of your choices for yourself and others.
That is so important. We cannot go through life, go through business, without even marriage, without accountability.
Accountability helps you to take responsibility for your actions and acknowledge the impact that your choices have on yourself and others.
3. Growth
By admitting your mistakes and seeking forgiveness, you can learn from your mistakes and work towards personal and moral growth.
I was taught that you learn two ways, through mentors or mistakes.
I choose to learn through mentors.
Why Affirmations Affirmations with positive confession can lead to positive results.
Affirmations are positive reinforcement
It builds your self-confidence.
It helps with goal alignment.
It also helps with stress reduction and mindfulness.
Why do I say so?
With positive reinforcement, affirmations are positive, faith-filled statements that reinforces beliefs, values and aspirations, helping you to cultivate a positive mindset.
1. Why self-confidence?
Self-confidence and those type of affirmations boost your self-confidence and self-esteem by affirming your abilities, your strength and your potential for success.
I remember when I was around 11, 12 years old, I read a book, The Power of Positive Thinking, and that totally transformed my life.
I didn't even realize that as a teenager, I was so negative. I was so negative in my mind, in my thoughts, in my actions, and that resulted in negative behavior. But when I found those little tips and tricks, affirmations, confessions, my whole life turned around.
You will know if you know me that I also believe that you are never fully dressed without a smile.
Those things started with positive confessions and positive affirmations.
For self-confidence, this is going to help you to boost your self-confidence and self-esteem.
2. Goal alignment.
Affirmations align our thoughts and beliefs with our goals, making it easier to stay focused and motivated when we want to achieve them.
3. Stress Reduction
How does it help then for stress reduction?
Well, repeating affirmations can reduce our stress and our anxiety and negative thought patterns, promoting mental well-being.
You're basically interrupting your own negative thought. Now I'm not saying for one moment that you only do confessions or affirmations once a day.
You can stop that thought by interrupting it out loud with your mouth and breaking that negative thought patterns.
When that thought comes into your mind, when you have to submit something really important, you're not even sure how to start with this project, then you can say:
I know I can do this.
I have whatever it takes in me to complete this task.
You immediately interrupt that negative thought pattern promoting your mental well-being.
Affirmations helps with mindfulness about our approach to life.
It helps you to stay present and focused on your objectives.
For me it's very important to be present in the moment.
Present in when I spend time with my husband.
Present in the times that I spend with my children.
Present in the times that I spend at work.
Because it helps me to give 110% based on the task or the place that I am right now.
Mindfulness and positive affirmations on mindfulness keeps me focused and intentional so that I can live a life on purpose for purpose.
Ultimately, practicing these principles can empower you as an individual to lead a more purposeful, intentional and fulfilled life.
They address things like self-awareness, accountability and growth while also fostering positivity, self-belief and goal achievement.
The choice is yours.
It depends on your goals and your personal perspective, but the result at the end of the day can be positive.
In the upcoming episodes, we will do confessions and affirmations in 10 areas of your life.
Coming up will be confessions and affirmations in the area of career, health,
