The simplest way to create an affirmation is to examine what you’ve been saying to yourself. This practice entails being conscious of your thought patterns and belief system. Grab a piece of paper and a pen and write down the persistent negative things you say to yourself. After writing them down, convert these negative words into positive versions.

One of the common mistakes people make when creating affirmations is writing in a future tense. Using “I am” is one of the most common and powerful ways to begin your affirmations.

Avoid negative words such as “don’t” and “can’t” when creating affirmations. Instead, focus on positive statements that create a positive mindset. Many people say things like “I don’t want to work at this job anymore”. The mistake with this statement is that you’ll be channeling your energy on what you don’t want.

When creating your affirmations list, pay attention to powerful words such as “effortlessly”, “easily”, “excited” and “delighted”. An example is “I effortlessly attract wealth into my life”. A simple addition of the word “effortlessly” creates a stronger positive vibration in your words. Through repetition, it makes you even more excited about what you’re affirming and manifesting.

Feel it, believe it and create it. Visualisation practices make you get even more excited about achieving or attaining whatever you want.
