Ways To Reinvent Your Affirmations For Success

I firmly believe that my attitude is the most precious asset I have. As such my mental dialogue is something I pay a lot of attention to. As such I love and value the practice of affirming what I want. Here are simple ways to reinvent your affirmations for success.

At first I followed Jack Canfield’s advice of “How to Turn Limp Affirmations Into Mantras for Success”, which is this:

Enter the “now”: Start your affirmation by entering the present tense. Take the condition you desire and declare it to be already true.
Be positive: Shine a light on what you do want, not what you don’t want. Our subconscious mind skips the word not, so delete this word from your affirmations. “I am not afraid of public speaking” gives us the message that you are afraid. Instead use, “I feel at ease as I speak in public.”
Be concise: Shorter is better. Affirmations with fewer words are often easier to recall, especially in situations when you feel some stress. Rhyming makes your affirmations even more memorable. For example, “I am feeling alive at 185.”
Include action: Whenever possible, affirm yourself as a person who takes action. For example: “I am gratefully driving my new Porsche along an open highway.” Action engages the Law of Attraction, creating new results in our lives and opening us to further inspiration.
Include a feeling word: Powerful affirmations include content and emotion. Content describes the specific outcome that you desire. Emotion gets to the heart of how you feel about that outcome. For a more potent affirmation, add both elements.

But then I came across the work of Noah Saint John who suggests turning affirmations into questions, on the basis that the brain always seeks to answer questions, and I like it.

Here are some ideas to get started with this. This list is a work in progress so come back later for more!
