Despite the popularity of this technique, some people use affirmations that are bland and perhaps even self-defeating.
When creating your affirmation, remember that even minor variations in wording can make a huge difference in the results you get. Since your words literally have the power to create your circumstances, invest a few minutes now to take your affirmation skills to a higher level."
You are what you think! (The scriptures tell us that "As a man thinketh, so is he.) Your life stems from your thoughts. This is the thesis affirmations are grounded on.
The word affirmation comes from the Latin “affirmare”, at that time meaning “to make steady, strengthen.”. Positive affirmations are empowering statements that you repeat in order to amplify your confidence and boost your motivation to achieve your goals. These statements help you solidify and visualize your desired way of being or dealing with things in your life. Positive affirmations that you repeat with authority can accelerate the positive life changes you strive for, and improve your overall well-being. However, to have the desired impact for change, affirmations need to be formed in a POSITIVE statement and as if that is the present reality!
This is where you will apply William Shakespear's line from Hamlet, "Assume a virtue, if you have it not."
Let take a moment to compare the strength of how you word your affirmations...
