The Best Way To Write A Positive Affirmation

Ive been using and studying positive affirmations for a while now and here is what I consider to be the best way to write affirmations.

Many people say to make your affirmations short so they are easy to remember. WRONG!

I actually found the best way to write affirmations from the book The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey.
In his book Covey writes, "A good affirmation has five basic ingredients: it's personal, it's positive, it's present tense, it's visual, and it's emotional.

• Personal

• Positive

• Present Tense

• Visual

• Emotional

Covey's example:
"It is deeply satisfying (emotional) that I (personal) respond (present tense) with wisdom, love, firmness, and self-control (positive) when my children misbehave."


This has helped me come up with the most powerful affirmations.
Yes they are a bit lengthy, but you must take the time to remember them!
Start with just one for a couple days and take your time to make it the exact affirmation that explains what you want.


Using your affirmations:

• Repeat your affirmation.

• Repeat your affirmation fast over and over again.

• Repeat your affirmation slowly listening to each word as you say them out loud and in your head. Take the time to understand what it means.
  

• As you repeat your affirmation feel the emotions as if you have already achieved it.

• The stronger the emotions you send out the better the affirmation will work for you.

• Last step and the best is repeating the affirmations while visualizing and feeling the emotions of the affirmation as if it is already true!
