AFFIRMATION

An affirmation is a motivational statement to yourself. Usually it is astatement about a way you act or feel that you want to change.

It is usually a short meaningful statement. Affirmations are powerful and positive statements about what you will do to change your life for the better.

Be specific! The more specific your statement is the easier it will be to obey it. When you make your own statement, don’t use the word "no" in it. Your mind might listen to "no" and be negative. When what you want is a real positive statement that you can’t forget!

For example, a negative affirmation would look like this, "I am not going to yell at my brother". It’s negative because it has the word "no" in it. You might try "I am going to stay calm when I talk to my brother". There is nothing negative about that!

Have some feeling! When you say your affirmation, make sure to say it with meaning. If you just say the word and don’t mean it, it is much more likely to not work.

Try saying your affirmation just before you go to bed or right when you wake up. Whenever you think of it during the day, it will help you to achieve your goal.
