 AFFIRMATIONS
FOR SUCCESS

101 SUCCESS AFFIRMATIONS

Affirmations are great tools that can help you overcome fear, build your confidence,
develop an abundance mind-set and more. The problem is that many people aren't
sure exactly how to write effective affirmations. Do they always have to be in present
tense? Can they contain "negative" words like can't, won't, not, and so on?

There are plenty of differing opinions on the right and wrong ways to write effective
affirmations, but the bottom line is that an affirmation can be considered effective if it
works for YOU! The whole point of affirmations is to shift your thoughts and emotions
to a more positive place so you feel more confident, happy, secure, abundant, or
anything else you're trying to accomplish.

Take a look at the sample affirmations below for starters and feel free to use them if
they resonate with you. If not, try altering them slightly until they trigger the mind-set
and emotional state you're trying to attain.

 HOW TO USE

AFFIRMATIONS EFFECTIVELY

 HOW TO USE AFFIRMATIONS EFFECTIVELY

Cogito ergo sum -- "I think, therefore I am." This is a phrase affirming one's existence as
a being. It may be a simple phrase, but it says a great deal. It indicates a confidence
about being human that is not commonly found among other beings.

But why do people need affirmation? Why do beings need to be affirmed? Is existence
relative to one's affirmation?

Affirmation is a very powerful technique to empower your subconscious. Once the

subconscious is disciplined to believe your affirmation, the latter is converted into a
positive action for the conscious mind. Through affirmations, you are empowered to
do, to work, and to strive. Affirmations allow you to believe in yourself and to put your
thoughts into action.

Affirmations are a combination of verbal and visual techniques, utilizing a positive

state of mind. Strong affirmations can be very powerful. They can be used beneficially
to achieve your goals and fulfill your desires. However, the power of an affirmation
depends on how strong or weak an affirmation is.

An affirmation is merely an assertion made about something or about a state of being.

You can affirm whatever ideas you choose to attain; for example, "I now have a good
life!" Being healthy in mind, body, and spirit can also be made possible through
affirmations.

To be more effective, a strong affirmation is stated in the present tense. An affirmation

of "I am now a happy being!" is more effective than an affirmation saying, "I am going
to become a happy being." Affirmation is best stated in positive terms, so that it can
work for you, rather than against you. Instead of saying, "I am not sad," create an
affirmation saying, "I am happy!"

For an effective affirmation, choose simple, concise words creating short phrases. A
short affirmation can be most easily spoken. It can serve as a mantra that can be
repeated over and over again.

To be effective, an affirmation needs to be repeated. Repetition works and influences

your subconscious mind, which, in turn, motivates you into action -- acting according
to your affirmation. It is best for you to create an affirmation that you are deeply
involved with, one that impacts you emotionally. In this way, you can best actualize
your affirmation. Writing words that you believe in can be very powerful.

14
However, merely creating an affirmation and repeating it a million times will not make
the affirmation effective. It is important that you live your affirmation and be open-
minded to do the things that help the affirmation become a reality. Feeling the
affirmation – and applying it in your life – help to make the affirmation a reality.

While affirmations are generally used to improve your life and make you better, it can
also be used to boost or confirm your value. By affirming your existence, you are
helping improve your self-worth. Affirmation is a very simple thing that can make a
very big difference in your life. Affirmations are great motivators and WORK to make
positive changes occur in your life!

BOOSTING SELF-ESTEEM

WITH AFFIRMATIONS

 BOOSTING SELF-ESTEEM WITH AFFIRMATIONS

What is low self-esteem? Low self-esteem is often the result of negative messages
being absorbed by your subconscious. Since this is the case, it makes sense that
feeding your mind positive messages can make a powerful difference … not only in
how you feel about yourself, ut also in the outcomes in your life!

What stops many people from using affirmations beneficially in their lives is the
uncertainty of what to say. On the surface, it can appear difficult to know how to word
affirmations for optimal effectiveness. Below you"ll find some simple tips to help you
write effective affirmations to improve your self-esteem.

1) Use Present Tense. First, it's helpful to word affirmations in present tense, not in
the future tense. You wouldn't want to say, "I will learn to love myself" because that
makes it sound like you"ll get around to it 'someday.’ Instead you might say, "I choose
to love myself!" The wording of that affirmation does two things: it empowers you
with the addition of the words "choose to," and it puts the timeframe in the present
moment.

2) Make it Believable. Next, your affirmations should be believable to you. Perhaps,

you decide to say, "I am a wonderful person with a lot to offer the world!" If you do not
allow yourself to believe that, your subconscious mind might reject it. Instead,
endeavor to focus on a process – then work up to an extremely positive end-result in
your affirmations. You might say something like, "I am willing to embrace my
uniqueness and to learn how to share it confidently with others!"

3) Use a Beneficial Tone. When you repeat affirmations, you can do so aloud or just in
your mind. It is important that you focus intently on the TONE you use. Rather than
saying the words without emotion like you were reading a newspaper, really inject an
element of love and caring into them. Your subconscious mind picks up the emotional
aspect of what you’re saying more than the actual words. Imagine the difference
between saying the words, "I really love myself!" with a tone of love and compassion,
or with a tone of sarcasm. Which do you think would have a greater impact on your
subconscious mind? You are right!

4) Repetition. Once you have some affirmations formed to work on your self-esteem,
say them in blocks of 10 minutes, several times a day. Remember, your subconscious
mind is constantly playing messages – so you want to give it plenty that is POSITIVE to
create for you. Pay close attention to recite your most positive thoughts on a regular
basis, do this by all means rather than thinking negatively about yourself.

17
5) Give it Time. It takes time to change the old, negative messages in your mind to
ideas that are more positive. It may take a few weeks – or even months – before you
notice an obvious difference in how you feel. In the meantime, you might be tempted
to think it isn't working. Persevere -- Keep with it – and, soon, you will begin to see a
difference! Most likely, it will be a gradual change. Little by little, you’ll find yourself
feeling more positive, and notice that you’re feeling a bit happier and lighter. This is
your sure sign that it's working.
