The affirmations process is the sure-fire way to gain control of your thoughts, your words, and your destiny. If you already know that your dominating thoughts and words repeated often enough and long enough, can become your reality, why not use them in a positive way? Why not use the process to create and establish the life that you have always dreamed of?

By consciously and routinely practicing the affirmations process, you can turn negative self-talk into positive statements that can become positive physical reality just as surely as negative ones will do the opposite.

In his book, Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill wrote of countless successful people—rich and famous leaders that became household names—who practiced affirmations for the purpose of gaining wealth. In those days, he called it “autosuggestion.”

By practicing affirmations repeatedly, and connecting them to your deepest desires, you’re convincing your subconscious mind that your affirmations are true.

This can eventually transform your mental attitudes, habits, emotional reactions, behaviors and literally everything in your external world. In terms of attracting wealth, having clear and actionable affirmations are critical.

What I’ve experienced is this: once you have certitude about who you are, what you want, and a burning desire to get it, you have the beginnings of writing an effective affirmation. For example, maybe there’s a really wide gap between where you are and where you want to be. Your Inner Critic takes over and says, “Yeah right, that’s never going to happen.” But if you visualize yourself having reached your destination, and by connecting that vision to your heart so you feel your desired outcome emotionally, you can narrow the gap and keep the Inner Critic at bay.

There’s no point in speaking an affirmation without visualizing it as though it’s occurring.

Likewise, you can’t say your affirmations in the morning and then think negatively all day. Visualization is meant to overpower negative thinking with a clear picture of the outcome you seek. You also need to take action on your affirmations in order for them to be possible. When everything comes together, it allows dreams to be transformed into reality. Whatever you need, in order to be successful, you will attract into your life with the power of affirmations. You need the total package to reconstruct the way you think.

A powerful affirmation about money is: “I am so happy and grateful that money now comes to me abundantly, rapidly and with ease from multiple expected and unexpected sources. Everywhere I turn, money flows to me. I give thanks.” Notice that “Everywhere I turn” adds emotion to the affirmation, and you’ve also added gratitude.

For more specificity, if you depend on customers or clients for your income, you might add
something like “My ideal clients (or customers) are running to me now.” Also, beginning with “I am” will encourage you to write your affirmations in present tense which is an important component.

When creating affirmations, be conscious of using “I am” statements as they have a profound influence on the subconscious. You have to be careful when choosing the words that follow. “I am” will be the most important words in your vocabulary because they have the ability to determine your destiny.
