How to Write Affirmations That Work

Alright, let’s dive into the art of whipping up some affirmations that actually work for you. This journal’s gonna nudge you to pick an affirmation of the day—kinda like choosing your avatar in a video game but instead it’s for the vibes you wanna bring into your life that day. Sure, the internet’s flooded with these say-it-to-believe-it phrases, but trust me, rolling your own hits different. When it’s time to flex that affirmation muscle, remember these tips to make yours work for you.

Step 1: Pin Down What You’re After

Kick off by getting crystal clear on what you’re chasing—could be anything from feeling more zen to making more money to attracting your life partner. Nail down the specifics because being vague won’t cut it when you’re talking to the universal algorithm.

Step 2: Spin It Positive

Craft your affirmation like you’re already living the dream. Swap out “I’m not gonna freak out” for “I am the eye of the storm, calm and collected.” It’s all about casting out the vibe of the experience you actually want to create more of.

Step 3: This Time With Feeling

Boost your affirmation with some heavy-duty feels. Picture how stoked you’d be if what you want was already here. “I’m all about that abundance, baby,” should feel like you’ve just won the emotional lottery.

Step 4: Keep It Real

Your affirmation should feel like it’s on your level—reachable, not some pie-in-the-sky dream. If it feels too out there, your brain’s gonna call BS and the algorithm will follow suit.

Step 5: Get Active With It

Use verbs that put you in the driver’s seat, like “I am” instead of “I will.” It’s about owning your space in the here and now.

Step 6: Rinse and Repeat

Stick to your affirmation like your favorite jam. The more you hit replay, focusing on the vibe and the vision, the more you tune into that frequency.

Step 7: Picture It Happening

While you’re at it, roll out the red carpet in your mind for your desires. The more vivid the mental movie, the better.

Step 8: Say Thanks

Wrap it up with a shoutout of gratitude. It’s like saying, “I know you got me,” to the universe, which cranks up the feel-good factor and keeps you in the flow.

Example Affirmation

Let’s say you’re on the hunt for more creativity. Your affirmation might be, “Creativity is my natural state, I am constantly overflowing with ideas that generate abundance in my life.”

By sticking to this blueprint, you’re not just whispering sweet nothings into the void. You’re placing a direct order with the universe’s delivery service, dialed in and ready to receive. Keep it consistent, keep it real, and watch the magic unfold.
