How to Craft Affirmations That Work

Affirmations can be a big help in creating the things, experiences, relationships, careers, spiritual growth and bank accounts you want. But, if done incorrectly they can come back to bite you. The important thing to remember about affirmations is imagining you already have what you want and tuning into the feeling that brings you.

Here are some guidelines to help you get the most from your affirmations:

1. Keep them short. Getting too wordy becomes unwieldy. You want your affirmation to be clear and unambiguous.

2. Use the present tense. If you say things like,"I will," you keep what you want in the future. The use of "I am" is very powerful language. So, you can say "I am so excited to be in my perfect career," instead of "I will find my perfect career."

3. Make it a positive statement. Avoid using words like "no," "not," "never," "nothing." The Universe and our subconscious minds don't hear negatives. 

Law of Attraction author and speaker, Michael Losier, says the Universe is like Google. Try Googling "No football" and see what comes up! Phrase your affirmation in terms of what you DO want. 

Instead of, "I am not afraid of speaking up at work," change it to, "I feel confident and at ease when I speak up at work." 

Another word to avoid is "want." Want focuses on lack. It makes you aware of not having it yet.

4. Be specific about what you want. Fuzzy thinking and vague affirmations get fuzzy results. Instead of "I have more money," say "I am so happy and grateful that I now have $100,000 in savings." 

Just saying "more money" means you can find a dime on the ground and that's it. Well, great, that's more but not even close to what you really want! (By the way, if you do find a dime on the ground, acknowledge it! Every chance you get to appreciate increase sends a message you're open to it!)

5. Make it emotionally meaningful for you. Think about how you expect to feel when you attain your goals. Including words that evoke positive feelings as you say your affirmation make it more powerful. 

The Universe doesn't respond to our words. It responds to our vibration. What we are energetically vibrating is the result of how we feel. As in the example above, adding "I'm so happy and grateful" is one way to add positive emotion to your affirmation. 

There are many words that can add that emotional boost to your affirmations, such as: enjoying, excited, celebrating, joyfully, effortlessly, easily, confidently, lovingly, gratefully, cheerfully, proudly, effectively and more! 

Ex: I am lovingly supporting my children to be fully themselves. 

I joyfully allow myself to choose my own path in life. 

I am so excited to be doing work I love.

6. Be your genuine self. Phrase your affirmations like you normally speak. You want your affirmations to resonate with you are. And, most importantly, have fun! Have fun writing them and have fun saying them!

7. Be aware of how you feel as you say them. If you notice you're feeling contracted rather than expanded when you say an affirmation, it could be because you're having a hard time believing it. That disbelief is usually coming from a subconscious belief. When that happens, try using "I choose" or "I've decided" before the affirmation.

Ex: "I choose to joyfully allow myself to be who I am."

"I've decided I enjoy being myself, just as I am."

The subconscious can't argue with a decision or a choice

You can also use this for committing to a process or habits you want to cultivate. For example, if your goal seems to big to feel comfortable you can focus on the process that gets you there. Instead of, "I am a successful, published author." You could say, "I choose (or I've decided) to write for 30 minutes a day."

8. Let the Universe figure out the "How." Your job right now is to be clear about what you want and to focus on the feeling of having what you desire. Write your affirmations with that in mind. 

When you try to think of how you could possibly get what you want, it introduces worry and the feeling of lack. The Universe will orchestrate the component parts that are necessary to bring about your desire. 

Be open to inspired ideas that occur to you and take action on them then. It's fine to put a plan in place and take action on it if it feels good. Just be open to any ideas that pop up or strong feelings guiding you in a certain direction. It may not seem like it has anything to do with your goal. Then you'll be surprised about how it all worked out!

Closing Thoughts:

You may want to keep a journal for writing down your affirmations, then say them aloud. Decide when you will say your affirmations. First thing in the morning or before bed are good times. You may prefer to do them at mid-day as an energy booster. You could add them on to the end of a meditation, or think of them while you're meditating. Some people like to have music in the background while saying affirmations. The music should be soothing and relaxing, to help you stay open and positive. It's really up to you and what feels good to you!

The Key to True Meaning of Success

In life many people believe that success is based on external things like cars, houses, money, and other things that are external but the truth is success is not about anything outside of ones self. Success should be based on ones contribution and impact in and on the Earth. Many of us have believed the hype for so long that we have to show people the things that we do and have in order to receive their approval or validation.

In reality, none of that is needed because who can judge, approve or validate what is within you? Who can tell you if you got it right or not? Who can jump inside of your true vision or dream and say "Yep that's it you did it the exact way it was shown in your vision or dream"? I often tell my clients the one thing no one can high jack is your dreams and visions.

Your dreams and visions are what give you the road map and path to what can be determined as success. Only you can see what is within your visions and dreams so in order to know if you are successful or not you have to ask yourself "Did I birth out what I saw in my dreams and visions?" Many of us have vivid dreams and visions but we are so afraid of trying to begin the journey of birthing because of what could go wrong.

I challenge you to begin the process now because either you are going to live with pain or regret of not doing it or the pain of doing it now. No matter what there will be pain but not all pain is bad. Do you remember the saying "No Pain No Gain?" This is indeed true when we experience pain there is a memory now that is there to remind you of what you made it through and it makes you stronger.

When you go to the gym and work out there is a level of discomfort/pain that is necessary in order for you to know that you worked the muscle group that you had in mind. Sometimes you are sore for a day or two afterwards but you continue to go back to the gym to eventually see the results you had envisioned. So if this is true for the gym and working your physical muscle wouldn't you think it applies to every area?

The answer is yes in order to reach the level of success that you were sent here to make you have to continue to go back to the mental and spiritual gym to see the vision board to determine if you are exercising the right muscle groups to see the results of the vision. It doesn't matter if other people can see the results if you can't because they have no idea what the vision board looks like.

I say this to my students all the time, It doesn't matter what other people say about you but what you say about yourself." Many people look at this saying and associate it with something negative but it applies to the positive words also because you have to learn to affirm yourself and ensure that you are saying the things that you need to hear to yourself.

I challenge you to stop thinking about what could go wrong and think about what could go right if you birth out that vision and dream. When you focus your attention and energy on the vision and dream a flow of frequency and intensity will be there to pull and push you through. I believe when the vision and mission is strong it will pull you and when the attention and passion is there it will push you towards to success.

When this is understood your true success will be awaiting and the level of happiness, joy and peace that we all envision will be there also. There is no need to live beneath your potential and there is no need to live a life where you never get an opportunity to experience the true meaning of success and happiness. This is your birth right so embrace it.

You lack nothing at all! You can to this world to do something great that only you can do. Success was and is built inside of you so dig deep within yourself and pull that greatness out because it is yours.

Will You Recognise the Path Forward?

Imagine your dream life for a moment:

You have a fulfilling career that pays well.

It leaves you plenty of time to spend with your loved ones.

Folks adore, respect and recognise you, as you change the world for the better.

Tell me...

Would you recognise the steps towards this life if you saw them?

It's deliciously easy to imagine the end - how it all turns out once everything goes right. But for everything between here and there...

There's the old adage that opportunities come disguised as hard work.

But it gets worse than that. A willingness to work hard won't answer all your problems. Opportunities wear fractal disguises - even when you zoom in and peel back the layers, it's not always clear what you're looking at.

This can be a problem with affirmations.

You might not know what you truly want... so your affirmations focus on the wrong thing.

But even if you get that right - which is a big 'if' for most of us - that doesn't mean it'll all be peaches and gravy for you.

You still have to recognise opportunities when they come.

And then you have to take them.

The good news is it gets easier to spot the chances in your life. After all, that's one of the main benefits of affirmations. The more you repeat them, the more it trains your unconscious mind to look for what you want in the world around you.

The bad news?

It doesn't always make it easier to take them.

You still have to act.

That means knowing when the opportunities are real, and not you tricking yourself.

That's the easy part.

The harder part is when you abandon all excuses, fears and distractions.

Change is hard. It's literally painful. That can make it easier to run away from opportunities - to lose yourself in distractions like video games and work.

Or to think you don't deserve this.

But you do deserve this. The fact you're even making a real effort to change proves you're worthy.

Besides, plenty of losers make it big all the time. You have more potential - more 'worth' - than them. So if they can do it, so can you.

All you need to do is commit, not quit.

Affirmations will only help you if you take advantage of them. The best car in the world takes you nowhere until you drive it.

If you want something badly enough to even consider affirmations, then it's time to go for it.

Time is ticking.

What will you do now?

There are two ways to do affirmations:

There's the easy way, where you stick a note on your fridge and pretend it'll work.

Then there's the right way.

Affirmations aren't a shortcut to better things. They take discipline and persistence. But I pity anyone who doesn't sharpen their mind and focus every day.

Making Affirmations Work For You!: 5 Essentials

Although, nearly, everyone, claims, they want to become the best, they can possibly, be, few seem ready, willing, knowledgeable - enough, or able to/ capable of, proactively, doing things, which will better - position, themselves, to make wiser decisions, and take better actions/ strategies, to overcome their personal weaknesses, and effectively, take advantage of their strengths! Some individuals have discovered, the ability of properly using affirmations, to be, a great, first - step, to make this meaningful journey, of self - discovery, and improvements! Unfortunately, many, either, are not aware of, or don't take doing this, seriously, and thus, lose a terrific opportunity, to be better, and overcome personal challenges! With that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, 5 essential parts, of making, and using affirmations, properly, and effectively, for self -improvement/ enhancements!

1. Check - up, from the neck - up/ know and understand your personal priorities: Take the time, and commitment, to give yourself a thorough, check - up, from the neck - up, so you are able to be honest with yourself, and objectively, and introspectively, become better! Don't rush through this, but, rather, determine what you really want, and how to align your goals, and priorities, to serve you, in a meaningful manner! Doing so, you will be able to identify, and understand, both, your strengths, as well as weaknesses, in order to become better prepared, and effective!

2. Consider/ create 10 items/ things, you wish to address, proactively: An affirmation should be, a positive statement, stated, in the present - tense! Studies indicate, creating 10 items, at a time, and writing them down, is, probably, the most effective approach. For example, if you feel, you need to lose weight, avoid saying, I need to go on a diet, but, rather, phrase - it, something, like, I am proud of my body's appearance, and constantly, commit, to doing, whatever, healthy actions, will maintain that.


3. Put them down, in, positive, personal, active statements/ affirmations: Write down your 10 affirmations, and review them, carefully, to ensure they are your true priorities/ goals/ emphasis, etc! Affirmations work, most effectively, when they are personal, positive, and make a true difference, for the better, both, actually, as well as, how one perceives them!

4. Read them aloud, 3 times per day: Don't just write them down, but, commit, and have the discipline, to read them, slowly, and in a meaningful way, at least, 3 times, every day, into a mirror, if possible! For many people, doing this, first - thing in the morning, when you return home, from work, and before going to bed, are the best times. Studies show, when you write things down, and read them, aloud, they have the most impact!

5. Commit to doing so, daily: Effectively, using affirmations, requires the commitment to doing so, every day, on a regular basis! If, done, properly, it directs you, to making significant changes, which, might, make you feel better, about yourself, and your self - worth!

If you hope to become the best, you can be, making and using personal affirmations, may be, a significant, effective tool! Are you willing, to make this commitment, and maintain it?

5 Keys To Make Self - Help Work!

How can anyone, become, the best, he could possibly be, unless/ until, he, first, did everything, possible, to help, himself? While, we often, hear someone, discuss, self - help, it will only make a quality, change, for the better, when/ if, you, proactively, use a variety of methods, and steps, to achieve the most - desirable, results! After, more than four decades, of involvement, in training people, and giving, personal development seminars, I have come to realize, how important, it is, to take advantage of, these 5 keys, to make self - help, work, effectively. With that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, some of these, and, how one might, use these effectively.

1. Check - up from the neck - up: Although, it is wise, to do so, very few of us, actually, take the time, and make a concerted effort, to examine ourselves, honestly, and introspectively, or, what I refer to, as, giving yourself, a check - up, from the neck - up! Do this, as you might, evaluate, someone else, in a truly, objective way! What do you like, best, about, you, and what, are you, less - than - pleased, with/ about? Be thorough, and, brutally, honest, for your own, best - interests!

2. Short - term, interim, longer - term: What do you seek, in the short - term/ immediate, interim, and longer - term? How will you reach, these objectives? What should you do, to ensure this, and will you be ready, willing, and able to proceed, with the combination of discipline, and commitment? Will you maintain the endurance, and emphasis, needed, to get, where you hope, to be?

3. Your personal discipline/ How important are your goals, and aspirations?: Are your goals, truly, yours, and how motivating, and personally, inspiring, are they, to you? Will you proceed, and maintain, the necessary degree, of personal discipline, to reach these? Will you maintain the discipline, despite potential obstacles? Will you consider obstacles, to be, challenges to overcome, or problems?

4. Using personal affirmations: Creating, and using an Affirmation List, correctly, and regularly/ consistently, is often, a very effective way, to maintain a productive, positive, can - do, attitude, and take the steps, regularly, to proceed, with the best plan, approach, strategy, and actions, which might work, for you. Limit this list, to ten items, word them in positive (proactive) terms, commit to reading/ reviewing, and caring about them, several times, per day, and, your chances of achieving, are usually, exponentially, improved!

5. Do you, truly, want to make yourself, better?: Do you, really, want to be better, and will you commit, to taking, the steps, needed, to achieve your personal objectives? Don't try to become a clone, of someone, else, but, rather, be the best, you, can become!

Self - help only helps, and works, if you really, want it to! Don't take short - cuts, but maintain the endurance, and persist, and you'll be, on your path, to where you hope, to be!

The Importance of Positive Affirmations to Kick Start Your Day

If you want to be successful, positive affirmations should be part of your morning ritual. For example, if you are a business professional, you can get ready for professional meetings using morning affirmations. This will help you face challenges, reduce your frustration, and have a positive outlook on your life. In this short article, we are going to take a look at the importance of positive affirmations to start your day. Read on to find out more. 

What is an affirmation? 

In simple terms, a positive affirmation is a specific statement that can help you to get control over your negative thoughts. With these positive statements, you can visualize what you actually want to do in order to bring positive changes in your life. 

Neuroscientists developed positive affirmations in the 70s. They created a combo of linguistics and psychological structured thought patterns in order to achieve their desired outcomes. The thing is that language patterns can have an impact on the outcomes we desire. 

All you have to do it think about it. With the passage of time, these positive thoughts will have a positive impact on your mindset. You will feel the power of positive thinking as positive thoughts are the building blocks of reality. As you continue to use positive affirmations, you will experience a higher degree of ambition and confidence that will push you to you do whatever you want. 

Positive affirmations can help you: 

  • Solve your problems 
  • Reduce anxiety and stress 
  • Achieve personal success
  • Boost positive emotions 
  • Differentiate between negative and positive patterns of thought 
  • Strengthen your relationships 
  • Improve your relationships help you boost your confidence 

Tips to get the most out of affirmations: 

  • Start your day with positive affirmations and repeat them over and over again 
  • Use positive affirmations in place of negative thinking 
  • Use the present tense for these positive statements 
  • If you are new to this phenomenon, know that it may take some time before you see the results of your effort. 
  • Say the positive statements out loud. 
  • Follow this routine for at least 30 days 

Examples: 

Now let's take a look at some great examples of positive statements you can repeat in the morning. Listed below are some of the statements that can help you get started. 

  • 1. I am fit both physically and mentally, and I am full of energy. 
  • 2. I have converted all of my negative energy into positive energy for a positive change. 
  • 3. With each passing day, I am feeling better and healthy than before 
  • 4. I love and take care of myself
  • 5. I always feel great and radiate positive feelings 
  • 6. I have the right to good health and can do anything to take care of my body. 

Long story short, if you want to bring positive changes in your life, we suggest that you change your mindset first. For this purpose, nothing can work better than positive affirmations. Therefore, you may want to change your routine and start your day with these positive statements. With the passage of time, you will experience positive changes in your life that will help you achieve success.

Secrets To Prosperity - Cultivate A Millionaire Mindset

The secret to prosperity lies in how you have programmed your thoughts. When you cannot control your mind, you will just move further away from cultivating a millionaire mindset. It is the effort that you put in not only today, but in a consistent manner that will reflect your future results. 

We tend to send thoughts to the Universe requesting for change and financial freedom, but we do not know how to adequately use our mind power to receive the appropriate positive messages in return. 

In order to control your mind power you need to effectively do the following: 

1. Control your thoughts and not be distracted by trivialities 

2. Change your daily habits from negative to positive, and stick to it. 

3. Only talk about positive matters, because you ultimately become what you think. 

Observe what you are talking about the whole day and question whether it includes mostly positive things that give you happiness. 

To become a prosperous and successful person, you need to observe and learn from successful people. Read their life history, feel like one and behave like one. You must be able to visualize your future and be able to see your future with you to as a successful person. 


Can you visualize yourself as a successful businessman and a millionaire in future? Can you make yourself feel like a millionaire? You should be able to see your future and dispel the notion that we are normally fearful of our future. We far too often visualize our future in negative forms rather than that of being a millionaire. 

It is being said that a vibration is created, and the wealth energy takes over when you practice visualizing yourself as a millionaire often. The actual process of you becoming a millionaire will then be accelerated. This is based on the fact that your mind attains power through your thought waves, habits, and visualization. It is possible for you to achieve whatever you want through your mind power. 

The very best practice will be to control your mind in the present moment without thinking of the future or the past. This mind power can be used to achieve financial freedom and whatever else you want to target. And free yourself from unnecessary negative thoughts. The key is to practice and implement less thoughts and much more action. 


Handle your mind correctly 

Psychology experts have determined that your mind is actually neutral, and it depends how you use it. It is actually you as a person who cause your mind to react negatively through your unnecessary negative thoughts and negative behaviours. Under most circumstances, your mind can be your best friend, but at times and it can also be your worst enemy. This negative relationship is often caused by stress that not only brings along discomfort but other diseases as well. 

You need to control your mind to avoid stress. It is normally said that diseases are caused due to either incorrect food, or a bad environment but the actual fact is that your thought waves control more than what you might think. 

Clear your negative thoughts and you will get a big boost on your way to cultivating a millionaire mindset. One of the easiest ways to manage your mind will be to practice meditation and positive affirmations about being a millionaire. When you can manage your mind, it will be easier to go to the next level of prosperity.
