Success Ingredient-‘Positive Affirmations’
Last week I signed up for a dear friend Drew Yacu’s new inspirational text message program called ‘Success Notes’, from www.reflectmylife.com where for 2.95 a month, every day I will receive a unique positive affirmation for that which I desire. I LOVED the program so much that we decided to have Drew on our morning radio show on 95.9 WATD. Which was a blast! (If you are interested in trying it FREE for 30 days put promo code DANI in! )
So this week I felt compelled to talk a bit more about Positive Affirmations because we have been talking a lot about using affirmations to help with other aspects of our success ingredients.
So what exactly is a Positive Affirmation?
An affirmation is a statement asserting the existence or the truth of something, it is everything you think, say, believe and feel. Whenever we say a statement, positively or negatively it effects us. An example a negative affirmation could be missing an appointment and you say to yourself “I’m such a moron’. A positive affirmation is a present tense statement of something that you desire…such as ’I attract amazing people’. Affirmations can be used in any area of your life to attract more of what youw ant..IE. Love, Wealth, Health, Life etc.
Why are Positive Affirmations so Important?
Declaring what you want is the first step towards getting what you want…so affirmations are simply a declaration of that what you desire as if you have already obtained it. The affirmations you incorporate into your daily life begin to change the way you think. Which then begins to change your perspective about the circumstances surrounding yourself and your current state of life. Positive affirmations also counteract your limiting beliefs or those voices in your head that don’t serve you.
Incorporating positive affirmations can help change your life, help you be more clear & focused, speed up the progress of your goals, help with personal breakthroughs, change bad habits and create new habits…and basically they can help you create the life you want.
Homework Tips to incorporate this week: How you incorporate affirmations is just as important as stating them.
1. You can choose a specific area to focus on Life, Love, Health, Wealth or not. When I first started out I would simply state a few generic overall quality of life affirmations..then I expanded to positive affirmations that would directly counteract my limiting beliefs.
2. Create a couple short, present tense statements that reflect what you want
3. Repeat Daily, preferably Morning & Evening, anywhere in your car, while you are getting ready for work, in the shower etc but they REALLY work well when you say them in front of a mirror.
4. Incorporate feelings behind the affirmation, the more you are able to feel the kind of feeling if you did have what you desire the greater the intensity or vibration of the affirmation. Therefore it will make the affirmation come true faster.
5. Try for 30 days, there is a bit of a time delay when it comes to getting what you want. I can pretty much guarantee that if you say affirmations daily in the mirror to yourself that you WILL have something INCREDIBLE happen to you during that time. The opportunity may not be DIRECTLY coordinated but some pathway will open up to you!!! You have NOTHING to loose and everything to GAIN!
Example Affirmations that I used when I first started back in 3/2009
I create my reality
I live my life passion
I change lives
I attract amazing people
I am so grateful for what I have
I can do anything I put my mind too
I am a creative genius
My body is in perfect balance
Money comes to me easily and effortlessly
I hope that helps for example but be sure to incorporate affirmations that resonate with you.

Loving this article very relevant and informative writing.
Self-esteem is vital today because so many people are toxic and negative these days.
If you know in your heart you are a good person,you will allow no one to make you doubt it.
You must first understand that your opinion of yourself is what matters.
