What are affirmations?

Affirmations are repeatable statements that proclaim a desirable truth.

Why do affirmations work?

The effectiveness of affirmations is built on the truth that our thoughts create our reality. Change our thought patterns and we change our world. Evidence for this is found in the experiences of people who have consciously chosen to embrace new ways of thinking and have then seen the resultant changes in their lives. Switching from fear-based thoughts to positive and self-reinforcing thoughts will bring the individual, and consequently our society, a favorable change in circumstances. Therefore, in order to best utilize the creative power of the universe it is wise to create specific thoughts that will bring to us what we desire.

The following are just a few of an infinite number of affirmations. Repeat regularly. They can be memorized or written down for future reference. It is beneficial to practice writing our own based on what we would like to create in our life. Using positive language and gratitude will create the most effective affirmations.
