| Write/type a list of 100 Affirmations.
You can write them randomly or write a few for various aspects of your eg. Health, Work/Business, Spiritual etc. HOW TO WRITE YOUR OWN AFFIRMATIONS: ” 1. The affirmation should always be in the first person. You must understand that you are improving your own self talk. And self talk is always in the first person, thus your affirmations should be too.
For example: “I am not unhealthy” is wrong. “I am healthy” is right.” written by Behoz, aka Andrew Stone INTERNATIONAL SWAP OPEN TO ALL SWAPPERS Optional extras: Send your partner something uplifting eg. card or profile related. Share on the List 100 Blog |

Agreed. As Shakti Gawain wrote in her ground-breaking book, “Creative Visualization,” an affirmation is a strong, positive statement that something is already so. The key word here is “positive.” It’s important to affirm what you do want, not what you don’t want.
For example, an ineffective affirmation would be, “I no longer spend my money foolishly.” That’s a constant, negative reminder that you used to waste your money. A successful affirmation does not recall past troubles. It’s a positive statement phrased in the present tense that strongly implies that, from this moment forward, you will be choosing a better way. A more effective affirmation would be, “I spend my money wisely.”
Two more reasons to stay positive: the mind thinks in pictures, and whatever you focus on grows stronger. How does that work? If you’re focused on “not being broke,” the word “not” is cast aside and your mind’s eye visualizes you being broke. And since that’s what your mind is focused on, that’s what will be brought into your life. So visualize yourself in the circumstances you desire, not those you’re trying to avoid.
