How Do I Get Started With Affirmations?

*What area of my life do I use affirmations for?

*What is the best affirmation to start with?

*How do I choose an affirmation that is perfect for me?

*When will my affirmation come to pass?

Well, the first place to start is to decide you are going to try using affirmations to enhance your life. It works well to commit to a period of time. Two weeks sounds like a great trial period that will give to time to see if affirmations are for you.

The second place to start is to decide what part of your life you wish to enhance. Most people want to work on all or some of the following areas:

-Money related matters

- Love life

-Health

-Self Image

and

-How a person relates to the world or sometimes called ‘power affirmations’

It is best to start with an area of your life that is working somewhat but you want to make it better. It is not advisable to start with an area of your life that is falling apart or majorly dysfunctional. You will have lots of time to tackle the big stuff when you are more experienced with affirmations. Choose an area of your life that you have higher hopes for but can stay the way it is for a period of time when you get the hang of how to use affirmations.

Let’s say you pick money related matters. Most of us have some amount of money in our lives but want help getting more of it, creating more of it and using it to fulfill our dreams. Now what? First, focus on what you want to experience in regards to money. Focusing on specifics (like the amount of bonus you want to earn) is great however it is better to focus on the essence of what you want to experience after you receive more money or when you have a more evolved relationship with money.

Here are some sample money affirmations:

*“I am enough, always have been, always will be.”

*“I came to this earth equipped to thrive and flourish. I give myself permission to evolve my finances.”

*“My DNA is programmed to evolve. I give my finances permission to evolve.”

*“I have more than enough money to create all of my dreams.”

*“I am learning how to create more money.”

*“I am open to my relationship with money evolving.”

*“I am open to receiving more money than even before. I am open to giving more money than ever before.”

*“I am open to participating more in the economy and giving and receiving more money.”

Now you might like the above affirmations or you might read them and have no reaction. The reaction you have is very important information that you need to take note of. Some affirmations just ‘click’ with people and some just don’t. If you come across an affirmation that gives you a little jolt in your heart, that is the affirmation for you. If you are writing you own, keep writing sample affirmations until you feel a strong positive emotional reaction. Affirmations need to evoke a positive emotion or they will likely not be effective.

Once you have your affirmation start affirming! Repeat your affirmation to yourself and out loud (when alone) whenever you think about your particular focus point (money, health, love, self image, power or other). It is best to repeat the affirmation at least five times in a row to really get your affirmation to sink in. Try affirming first thing in the morning, last thing at night, during any meditation or prayer time you have and when you are doing mundane tasks (showering, grooming, house cleaning, cooking, driving, some work functions, etc). You don’t need to repeat the affirmation all day and all night. A few times throughout the day is sufficient.

Writing out your affirmation on paper and posting it around your house or workspace is a great reminder to continue saying your affirmation and a visual that will help you remember what you are focusing on. Some people also write out their affirmation over and over to help it sink in. Try this and see if you think it resonates with you. You might want to get a journal to use if you find you like writing out your affirmation.

Now for the final question... When will my affirmation come to pass? This answer is really up to you. This is why I recommended you pick an area of your life that is not in crisis. Affirmations are something you ease into. Some people get really quick results. Others seem to toss about for awhile before they see anything really change. The best way to approach affirmations is to say them a few times per day and then forget about them for the rest of your day. Getting obsessed with saying affirmations every minute of the day and deeply yearning for the results will drive you and everyone around you crazy. It will also slow down your efforts because your mind will get in the way. Think of this exercise like a set of Buddhist prayer flags. Prayers are made and then the flags blow in the wind and send the prayers out in the universe. The process is to let the flags blow as they will and let the wind do the work. Affirmations work best if you say them and then forget about them.

*Decide to make the commitment to use affirmations (choose to go for it and pick a time period)

Have fun getting into affirmations. Stick with it, affirmations really work!

Be well,
