An affirmation is a statement spoken in the present tense and used to declare a desire. Saying “I have a happy, slender body,” is an example of a positive affirmation.
Each time you read your affirmation you’ll have a reaction based upon how the words make you feel. Remember, the Law of Attraction responds to the vibrations you send out based on how you feel, not based on specific words you use. If, for example, you tell yourself that you have a happy, slender body when you do not, or when having a happy, slender body feels unattainable, you’ll create negative vibrations. You’ll send out a vibration of doubt (a negative vibration), which the Law of Attraction will respond to by giving you more of the same, even though it’s unwanted.
A positive affirmation can have a negative vibration. Most affirmations don’t work because the Law of Attraction doesn’t respond to words - it responds to how you feel about the words you use.On the following page you’ll see a list of positive affirmations.
After reading each statement, ask yourself which vibration you are sending, negative or positive.
Question: When would these affirmations offer a positive vibration?
Answer: When they are true for you!
When you state something that is not true for you, you are offering a negative vibration because the statement activates doubt within you. As you state the affirmation, a part of you says:
♦
That’s not true, my family relationships aren’t harmonious
♦
That’s not true, I don’t love my body
♦
That’s not true, I’m not a millionaire yet
♦
That’s not true, my business isn’t booming
♦
That’s not true, I don’t have ideal health
♦
That’s not true, I don’t have a perfect life mate
The key to using affirmations is that they need to be true for you in order to make you feel good. On the following page I’ll give you a tool to help you reword an affirmation so it is ALWAYS true for you, thus enabling you to send out a positive vibration.
