Affirmation is simply a positive statement, in the present, first person tense. It becomes your focus to lead you in the positive direction you are seeking. The basics of writing great affirmations with IMPACT:
I=Make it “I” positive. We can’t change others, only ourselves. Start with “I”. It is not about what you are moving away from, but where you are going.
M=Make it “motivated” in the now, honest and realistic. As though it is already happening. For example: Achievement words – “I am”, ‘I have”; Action words – “I easily”, “I quickly”, “I enjoy”, “I love”, “I thrive on”; Emotional words – “I warmly”, “I happily”, “I enthusiastically”. If a word is flat, unconvincing or lifeless don’t use it. Aim as high as you can honestly imagine.
P=Make it “purposely” balanced and confidential. Remember to have a balanced focus in all areas of your life – Personal, Health, Relationships, Finance, Career, Social, Spiritual, Community etc. Affirmations are for yourself. Others can hold us back, get upset when we change or grow, and remind us of our old self-image. If you choose to share your affirmations, share with those that support you, and can assist you to achieve your focus.
ACT= Take “action” to read, picture and feel. Feel the affirmation in your body. Adjust your affirmation until it feels “right” or uplifting. Once set, READ it, PICTURE it, FEEL it; and repeat your affirmation morning and night.
JUST READING your AFFIRMATION = 10% IMPACT or READING AND PICTURING your AFFIRMATION= 55% IMPACT
Why not READ it, PICTURE it and FEEL it for 100% IMPACT
One of my favourite books I found in the 1990s was Creating Money: Attracting Abundance by Sanaya Roman & Duane Packer. So many amazing examples of affirmations throughout this book. The key offered is to find the highest quality in what you are seeking. Eg. Money = freedom for me. From this inspiration comes this affirmation for financial abundance:
