Time: 30 Minutes
STEP 1: Use the Positive Affirmations Template to create a self-affirmation. Think about something you want to accomplish—this could be running a marathon, winning a business deal, setting boundaries in a difficult relationship, or achieving your ideal physical appearance. Spend a few minutes reflecting on what you want and select one that really resonates with you. Then create a positive affirmation relating to that goal, (ex: “I am so happy and grateful that I am now celebrating having achieved my ideal weight of 140 pounds.”). Continue with this exercise until you are satisfied with your list of positive affirmations.
STEP 2: To prepare your mindset, take three deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling to a count of 10. Stand in front of a mirror and look yourself in the eyes. Smile if it feels natural. Make a conscious effort to avoid thinking negative thoughts or falling into a limiting mindset. This is YOUR moment to set yourself up for success.
STEP 3: Say your affirmation(s) slowly and clearly to yourself in the mirror. You can review all affirmations each time or focus on a specific affirmation each day. Repeat the affirmation(s) out loud 3-5 times, using facial expressions, emphasis, and really focusing on the meaning of each word. Take another 3 deep breaths, allowing your body to absorb the positive feeling of the affirmation(s).
STEP 4: Set aside a specific time that you dedicate to your affirmations. They are much less powerful if you rush through them on the way out the door.
STEP 5: Write down your affirmation of the day and hang it up at your desk or somewhere you can see it often to remind yourself to manifest your goal.
