Steps towards writing an affirmation:
1. Decide on the subject of your affirmation.
Just as was explained in the universe post (here), if you think about the things you want in your life often, they are more likely to come to you. You can write an affirmation about anything. Some examples:
- Bringing money into your life.
- Having positive relationships.
- Fostering self love.
If after deciding the subject you decide you would rather have a ready-made affirmation, search on the internet for 'affirmations about relationships' etc and you can find some great ones. The world's largest online collection is here.
2. Decide the tense.
Affirmations work very well in the present tense. 'I am learning to accept myself' connects you to the present moment and empowers you in it.
Future tense can also work really well, especially if you have a big event coming up or if you have a long term goal. It can inspire hope, faith and confidence in the present moment for the future.
3. Make it positive.
A positive affirmation works better than a negative one. For example, if your desire is to do well at a job interview and answer the questions well, you could phrase this in two ways:
- 'I find it easy to talk about myself at interviews'.
- 'I will not dry up during this interview'.
The second affirmation here brings to mind drying up, and focusing on that inspires fear rather than empowering you. This is why it's great to stay on the positive side of a situation in an affirmation.
4. Keep it snappy.
A short and snappy affirmation is easier to repeat to yourself (more to be covered in the future post about affirmations) and meditate on.
