Affirmations

Affirmations are statements we make about our being and our lives. The word affirmation means “something validated, made firm.”

An affirmation is a desired state in present-tense terms as if it is already manifest in our lives.

With affirmations we can reprogram our minds as if we are filling a glass of dark, cloudy water, drop by drop, with clear water.

Writing Affirmations

Make them personal: I am . . . I know . . . I let . . .

Make them short (one sentence if possible)

Write them in the present tense; never use the past or future tense

Make the vocabulary personal to you; use your own manner of speaking

Be specific, but do not outline; state what but not how
