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 … read more

I got an email from a woman asking:

How do you use affirmations to win the lottery and contests?

That’s an excellent question! First, understand that affirmations don’t hold any power themselves – they can’t magically attract money or lottery wins or anything else on their own.

The true power of affirmations is their ability to shift you into a specific mental and emotional state that is in alignment with abundance, prosperity and good fortune. Remember, your thoughts, beliefs, expectations and emotions all combine to create your energetic “frequency,” which is the signal you send out to the universe and attract … read more

We’ve heard it over and over again: thoughts create reality. Yes, thoughts are very powerful. Thoughts inspire emotions, which create raw energy in the form of your intent. This energy then becomes physical form or experience.

But there’s one more key ingredient that many people leave out when working with the Law of Attraction: the power of your word.

You may have heard that you should always use present tense when you say affirmations or intentions. So instead of saying, “I will attract amazing opportunities today,” you should word it, “I am attracting amazing opportunities today,” or “I always attract amazing opportunities.”

What is abundance? Most people think of money when they hear the word “abundance,” but that’s not the only expression of abundance. The dictionary defines abundance as: more than enough; amply sufficient.

This can apply to money, no doubt about it. But it also applies to every other area of your life. In fact, some people would argue that having an abundance of money and lack everywhere else will make you miserable.

I stumbled across this cool program recently and I’ve been having a blast playing with it!

It’s a subliminal affirmations software program that runs on your computer while you’re doing other stuff. You can set it so it pops up barely visible messages for just a quick second, or you can set it so the messages are stronger and stay for a second or two, giving you the opportunity to reflect on them.

Love it!

Affirmations can be a powerful tool in your personal development program, but only if they are used correctly. If you’re like most people, you’ve been taught one part of the equation: reciting the words. Consistently changing your thoughts and words from negative to positive is a great first step because it helps you build a solid foundation for long-term growth. However, this approach alone may not bring about the change you desire.
