Affirmations—clear, definitive statements

declaring something is so—solidify your ideas of
where you want to go or how you want to change.
Without exception, positive affirmation is the key
to all advancement and achievement. The most
powerful and successful affirmations are the ones
we design around our goals in the areas of our life
that are most important to us.

The key to effective affirmations is that they

must be bold, clear, positive and stated in
the present tense. Get absolute clarity on
what you want to create.

Here are some other affirmation best practices:

Own your affirmations—the feelings and associations you have with these
words. Get into the feelings and emotions of your affirmations by experiencing your
statements as if they are already true. Our outside world is a reflection of our internal
programming. Always.

Repetition is the mother of learning. When you first begin your affirmations, your
old beliefs will fire up. This is normal. Just return to your affirmation and you will change
the hard-wiring in your brain.

Don’t quit. Act like it’s true. Feel like it’s true. Stay positive and confident that
everything you are doing will produce results because the repetition of the affirmation is
teaching your brain how to think.

Use negative self-talk to identify barriers to your success.

Once you get the hang of it, you can actually use your negative self-talk to catch any
negative, non-supportive beliefs that are blocking you from achieving success in your
goals.

What you put out is what you get back. When you become more, you will have more. you
give your attention, energy and focus, is what you will attract into your life.
