How to Design Yourself A Daily Affirmation ... Part One
Daily affirmations can help keep your mind focused and your creative energy in line with your goals. Affirmations go beyond positive thinking and create lasting change in your mind to help you change your life.
What is an Affirmation?
An affirmation is simply a statement that is said in the present tense. For example, I am wealthy is a simple affirmation, as is I am growing spiritually each day.
Affirmations can run the gamut from totally material to entirely spiritual, and everything in between. There are no hard and fast rules about what you can and cannot affirm. Anything that feels important to you can become an affirmation.
Affirmations represent goals that you’d like to achieve and changes that you’d like to make. They reflect your 'ideal self'. That’s precisely why they can encompass so many different types of things. Your affirmations can be about your health, your relationships, your career, your financial status, your spirituality or any other subject you can come up with.
How to Create Your Affirmation
Your affirmations should be statements about what you want in your life. Sometimes its hard to pinpoint exactly what you want. If you’re having trouble declaring what you want, write down a list of things you don’t want. Then to create your affirmations, just write the opposite.
Your affirmations must be phrased in the positive. If your list of the things you don’t want includes I don’t want to be in debt anymore your affirmation will read I am free from debt.
It’s also important to write your affirmation in the present tense, as if it is occurring right now. You need to create the feeling that it exists this very moment, and not in the future. If you continually visualize your affirmation as manifesting in the future, it will always be in the future.
Make a list of as many affirmations as you like. Cover all parts of your life that you wish to change. Post your list in a visible spot that you’ll see each and every day. Many people like to use the bathroom mirror. That way, they’ll see their affirmations every time they brush their teeth.
Repeat your affirmations at least three times a day. At first, you’ll just be reading the affirmations, but eventually you’ll have them memorized and you can recite them throughout the day. Repetition is key to this process working.
Best of success,
