List of Affirmations

[Craig G. Lewis]

Before You Begin

Decide what area of your life you want to work on and then decide what you want. There are several important points to know about affirmations:
• Use the present or past tense. Do not use the future tense. You want your mind to know it has already happened
• Be POSITIVE. Use the most positive terms you can. Never use negatives in affirmations
• Write them. As you are learning to do affirmations, write them down so you will remember exactly what you want to say. Keep them short and very specific. Personalize them with your name.
• Believe. Always believe that what you are saying is happening. The more you believe, the stronger the affirmation.
• Repetition. Being repetive and persisteant helps to set them in your head and in your unconscious being.
• Time. Always have a specific time daily set aside for your meditations, affirmations and visualizations. This will help set a pattern for you so you will do them daily.

• Success prophecies that, when visualized, imagined, or believed in, do come true.
What shapes can positive self-affirmations take?
I statements:
"I'' statements are one-line statements that can be repeated to cover three areas:

Affirmation Visualizations
There are word, images or pictures and scenario visualizations, all affirming positively.
Word Visualizations:
Step 1: Take any single target word about who you are, your ability, or what you want to accomplish. Write it on a 3 x 5 card.
Step 2: Get yourself into a relaxed state, preferably just before you go to bed. Hold the card about 12" to 24" from your eyes. Focus your eyes on the word and concentrate your attention. Hold this thought for up to 20 or 30 minutes.
Step 3: Do this exercise nightly for at least two weeks. As you continue, you are burning the image of your goal word into your mind. It will be with you in your thoughts as you proceed in your everyday life.

Image Visualization:
Step 1: Create or find an image of an object, person, or thing that embodies your goal for who you are, what your abilities are, or what you want to accomplish:
• a comfortable house a rainbow
• a diploma a sunset
• a cruise ship a calm ocean
• a happy, healthy child a sunny day
• a slim body a snow topped mountain
Step 2: Get yourself into a relaxed state and either look at the picture or imagine you reaching your goal. Do this for 20 minutes each night for one month.
Step 3: Get copies of your picture or a simulation of your goal, and tape them in places where you will see them as you go through your normal day.
Step 4: Continue to keep your images in place until you have accomplished the ``goal'' feelings of success and/or achieved the ``object'' success. The important thing is to believe that it is possible to achieve. This motivation is the most important step on your journey to success.

Scenario Visualizations:
Step 1: Once you have a goal in mind for yourself, daydream a full color movie in your mind of what your life would be like if you achieved the goal.
Step 2: Get a tape recorder and talk out the whole movie on tape. Be fully descriptive, colorful, positive, and uplifting. Use your imagination to the fullest and describe how positively you will be handling the change resulting from your goal attainment. Describe how key "significant others'' in your life will cope successfully with your change. Save this tape for future reference.
Step 3: Write out a description of the goal attainment scenario, and keep it handy for future reference.
Step 4: When you are in a relaxed state, listen to the tape and read your description of the scenario every day for two weeks.
Step 5: Refer back to the tape and script as time goes on until you have reached full attainment of your goal.
