Creating a personalized affirmation

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

You can create your own affirmation anytime. Just take a fear of negative belief that seems to be plaguing you all the while. Write it down on a paper as detailed as you can. Elaborate it even further on paper. Read over the same over and over again until you are clear that your essay contains the belief explicitly. Once done, bring the entire essay back again to a single sentence. This should take a while to do. But once you are convinced that your ONE SENTENCE contains the essence of the negative belief, then take another sheet of paper and write the exact opposite of this belief. The emerging belief will be a positive one. Now elaborate this on paper as much as you can. Go ahead and be as positive as you can and as imaginative as you never were. You should be able to write pages here. Once done just read through the same and gather the essence. Now simplify the entire positive writings into one single strong sentence. You now have a powerful new affirmation. Dramatically tear the paper on which you have written and elaborated all about the negative belief and do away with it once and for all in your mind. With a lot of affection - like the kind you have for your newborn baby - read over the affirmation repeatedly, all the while accepting it whole heartedly.

PS: While you are writing your new affirmation ensure that you use no negative words like ‘don’t', ‘not, ‘never’, ‘hate’ etc. For example: ‘I don’t smoke cigarettes again’ carries the same meaning as ‘I am a non-smoker’. But while composing an affirmation care is to be taken on the words chosen. Use something like ‘Every time I feel like smoking a cigarette, I crush the desire, as I understand the importance of living with health, and then, I choose to focus on something positive immediately.’ OR ‘Every time I feel like smoking a cigarette, I simply remember my breathing exercises I did in the morning, the clear feel of my lungs, and the deep breathing I am able to do as a result of healthy living.’ You see: the point is to refrain from using any kind of negative situational words or sequence.
