Create Your Own Affirmations

[eaeqaa...@yahoo.com]

Whether you are preparing for a final interview, first performance,
first gallery hanging or starting a regular day, affirmations can
really be helpful. Usually people practice saying affirmations out
loud. It's very helpful to express your affirmations by verbalizing
them, listening to them and watching yourself as you speak them in
front of a mirror. Each time that you express them, you give yourself
more time to absorb what they say about you.
However before you can verbalize your affirmations, you have to create
them. You can find them in books, ask for some ideas from your
friends, create them yourself or use a combination of techniques to
write them.
FIRST: Start your affirmations with the phrase "I am________." The
idea is to keep your focus in the present and to keep them positive.
When you use the phrase" I am__" you are starting the process of
acting as if the affirmation is already part of your life.
SECOND: Choose one action that you want to complete. Do you want to
meet five referral sources during a meeting? Do you want to complete
six telenetworking calls next week? I'm sure that you can think of
some other actions that fit with your business. Choose an action that
is a currently a challenge for you to complete.
THIRD: Write out your complete affirmation. Read your affirmation out
loud. Listen to it and see if it reads like an action that you want to
complete.
FOURTH: Stand in front of a mirror. Repeat the affirmation ten times,
while looking at yourself in the mirror. Remember to repeat this
affirmation once a day for thirty days.
FIFTH: Be expectant. Don't scan every moment of your life looking for
signs of change. Stay focused on learning your affirmations. You will
keep yourself very busy building new thinking habits while you are
changing internally. Any external changes will follow your internal
changes naturally.
I've included a list of affirmations, ready for use, until you have
created some of your own. Feel free to use them as catalysts for
writing your own affirmations or use them just as they are.
Remember to practice, practice and practice your affirmations every
day.

1) I am writing my dreams daily.
