Affirmations do have to be personal, positively stated, specific,
emotionally charged, and in the present tense.
Here are some examples: •
Money comes to me easily and effortlessly.
• Opportunities come into my life right now.
• Speaking in front of a large audience is easy for me.
• I am successful in my business.
• I am healthy and fit.
Use affirmations to attract the things you want in your life. The more you
practice, the better you get. The first time you say, “Money comes to me easily
and effortlessly”, your inner voice will still say, “Yeah right! No way!”. However
after repeating it 200 times every day for a week you should have silenced your
inner critical voice. Make your affirmations your permanent company. Repeat
them as often as you like and have a look at what happens in your life.
Nevertheless, there are some studies that claim that affirmations actually have
negative effects, when your inner critic just doesn’t get convinced. If you can see
no benefit at all, try other techniques like subliminal tapes or ask yourself other
questions such as, “Why am I so happy? Why is everything working out?”
Noah St. John has written a whole book on the power of asking yourself the
right questions. His “Book of Affirmations” might be able to help you!
Chapter 54: Write it down 25 times a day
“It’s the repetition of affirmations that lead to belief. And once
that belief
becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.”
Muhammad Ali
The purpose of this exercise is to help you to “hammer” your desires into your
subconscious mind until you actually believe it’s true! Remember how your
subconscious mind works. To create a new belief in your belief-system you have
to repeat over and over again. Even if this exercise gets boring, go on writing!
So how does it work?
1) Pick your statement.
2) Make it personal, start with “I am”.
3) Make the statement positive.
4) Use present tense. For example, “I am earning X thousand Euros a year.”
5) Do this exercise first thing in the morning.
It’s good to get a small booklet for it. You can enhance your results by doing the
exercise twice a day: in the morning and just before going to sleep.
