WHAT ARE AFFIRMATIONS?

Affirmations or auto suggestions, are positive acceptance statments that you can use as part of your manifestation process.  Affirmations are positive thoughts and statments that you send out to the universe. Writing affirmations is a personal and powerful exercise.  All negativity needs to be eliminated.  First you must believe that you can manifest your destiny.  Then begin by choosing an intention that you would like to manifest into your life.   Your belief must be positive and powerful.  Think about how the result will FEEL, as this becomes your target feeling.  The goal of writing affirmations, is to write a statement that generates your target feeling.  Affirmations can be used to assist you to adopt new ways of thinking and to reinforce the credibility of concepts.  Use affirmations to build your self confidence, one thought at a time.

Always use the present tense or reflect on a past desired feeling that you have had rather than using the future tense.  You want to fool your mind into thinking that what you want to manifest has already happened.  Affirmations gather energy which extends outward to create change.  Use the most positive and personal terms that you can.  Your results will match the feeling you get when saying your affirmations.  Write your affirmations down, so you will remember them exactly.  There is a very strong connection of power between the mind and the pen.  Write your affirmations in your own speaking style, we all talk to ourselves in self talk all day long.  Each of us have a certain tone that we use to address our individual self.  It is this voice that we trust and believe in as it has already created our current reality.  Our mind is not easily fooled, so if you write your affirmations in a way that is anything but authentically you, you will not feel the affirmation and therefore will dismiss the message.  Keep your affirmations short and be specific.  Personalise them with your name and write from your heart so that your authentic voice reveals itself.

Always believe that what you are saying has already happened.  The greater your belief, the stronger the affirmation will be.  Being repetative and persistant is the key, and helps to set them in your unconcious mind.  Set aside a specific time of the day if you can, to affirm your affirmations, meditate and visualise.  This will set up a pattern for you, and you will more easily remember to practice them daily.  Have your affirmations where you can see them throughout the day such as on your fridge, on your bathroom mirror, on the sun visor in your car, or anywhere else where you can focus on them often.  Your unconscious mind hears and remembers every word as being reality.

The goal to change is to feel your target feeling as often as possible.  By writing affirmations that are short and specific and in your language, you increase the likelihood that you will use them often.  Remember that the more frequent you say your affirmations, the more often you will feel your target feeling.

Make your affirmations believeable.  If an affirmation makes you feel uncomfortable, like you’re telling a lie, then start your affirmation with the words “I am willing to” or ”I choose to” at the beginning.  This will take your affirmation statement back a step to match your current level of belief.

Make sure that you truly do desire what you are affirming.  Affirmations should be wholly focused on your target feeling. Have fun formulating new affirmations!  Below are some ready made affirmations for you to get started with, but do change anything that doesn’t feel right for you.
