Affirmations

Like with meditation, affirmations are something someone who has no tools would still be able to do. What are affirmations? An affirmation is a simple statement of what you want to change, but it gets tricky too because there are a few simple rules.

1. First off, one of the most important, you can't use any form of "no" or "not". These are negations and the energies won't recognize them. This includes words like "can't" which is a combination of "can" and "not", words like "never" because it is "not" and "ever", and other similar words.

2. Do not use any words with a negative attribute. An affirmation like "I am free of sickness" will not work because the word "sickness" by itself just sounds bad. Think about it for a moment, just the word "sickness" and see how it makes you feel. Not very pleasant. A better affirmation would be "I am healthy". Sounds better doesn't it?

3. An affirmation must be clear, precise yet simple. If it's too complex it won't stick as well, if it's too vague then the results might be unwelcome. So you don't want "I will get a job" because then it would take longer to manifest. Perhaps something more exact, like "I will get a job by the end of (week/month)". If the affirmation is to change something, like wight for example, then it would be "I am ___ every day" or "I will ___ by the end of (week/month)"

4. Last rule and the MOST important. You want to believe this affirmation, you want to convince yourself it's true on the deepest of levels. For that reason you are to repeat it to yourself multiple times, in a convincing tone. If you don't believe it is possible, then it will not work. You must be able to believe it can be done, then convince yourself it IS being done. If the energies inside you believe that you are really losing weight (for example) then it will begin to adjust itself to that reality.

Armed with understanding of how affirmations work, you'll be able to make your own affirmations in no time, and personalize them better to fit your needs. Affirmations don't need to be more than a sentence long, and so you don't need to worry about making sure they rhyme. While writing your affirmation, take a pencil and paper and work on it. Replace words as needed, reword it and rearrange the wording, and edit it until you have it down. Some of you might be able to toss an affirmation right out of the blue, but others may need to work on it for a while.
