10 Tips To Writing Effective Positive Daily Affirmations
By Evelyn Lim
Positive daily affirmations can help you to reprogram
your mind from the negative self talk that you have had for
years. For this to work effectively, you need to repeat
positive statements of a desirable outcome like a mantra on a daily
basis a few times per day.
Positive daily affirmations help to redirect your values,
formulate goals for success or simply help you to boost your self
confidence. They can be used to improve areas such as
wealth, success, health, relationships or self esteem.
Here are 10 tips to writing effective Positive Daily
Affirmations
1. Develop Them Yourself. Self-developed affirmations are the most
effective positive daily affirmations. If you couple them with
clearly defined written goals and applied faith, their power is
even stronger.
2. Feel Them. The emotional dimension of each affirmation should
never be overlooked. When you can additionally "feel" your
affirmation, its total impact increases tremendously. For instance,
if your affirmation is "I am a successful public speaker", then
visualize how it will be like to be receiving a standing ovation
from a hall full of people.
3. Make Them In the Present Tense. You should state your positive
daily affirmations in the present tense, that is, use "I am..."
rather than "I will be..." Saying things in the present tense will
program your subconscious mind to believe that what you affirm is
already a fact. In other words, you have no doubt in your mind that
what you desire is a given and not just a wish that may or may not
happen.
4. Make Affirmations Positive. Another important tip in formulating
your affirmations is to write them in the positive state. A
negative statement cannot work. For instance, you should say "I am
rich" rather than "I am not poor".
5. Make Positive Daily Affirmations Short And Clear. First, because
your experience will create the conditions that allow affirmations
to manifest, word the affirmations carefully to make them
crystal-clear. State your real, innermost desires and articulate
your most expansive sense of self. Affirmations based on a narrow
self-concept deliver results that fall short, cause suffering, and
further diminish the sense of self.
7. Increase Your Faith. Of course, the more faith you have in them,
the more effective your affirmations will be. The desires and
dreams that your mind can conceive bear seeds of possibility, and
possibilities ultimately become realities.
8. Say Positive Daily Affirmations With Conviction. Some experts
recommend saying positive daily affirmations silently. They say
that silent affirmations are more effective than spoken statements,
because they entail more intensity of concentration and resonate
through your entire body instead of in your surroundings. Others
recommend saying them out loud, because you can also use your
facial expression or hand gestures for more conviction. For
whatever it is, positive daily affirmations made in a half hearted
manner are not going to be as effective as the ones that you make
with deliberate intention.
9. Follow Up With Actions. Lastly, you will also need to put in
some actions, so that you can lay the ground for their
manifestation. For instance, affirming that you will win the
lottery can only be possible when you buy a ticket.
10. Remind Yourself Daily. In a hurried lifestyle with 1001 things
to do, you can find it hard to remember to repeating the positive
daily affirmations. Hence, put them in a visible location, like on
the wall or in front of the mirror or save them in a PowerPoint
slide to be used as a screensaver.
Here are some examples to help illustrate the above 10 tips:
