If you are searching for prosperity affirmations, or affirmations for
self-esteem, weight loss, happiness or abundance, then what follows is
the easy way to understand what you need to do, and it is much easier
than I used to think.
When I attended John Assaraf's weekend seminar at his beautiful
Californian home in 2004 (before he went big into larger audiences,
coaching and The Secret) I remember feeling frustrated because what I
wanted to achieve or have kept changing soon after I would decide on my
affirmations.
This confused me and annoyed me, and an Australian women at the same seminar said that is what happened to her also.
After all, how do you decide on your affirmations if you don't even know what you want?
Well.....here is the secret that I finally worked out seven years
later, and within two short weeks my life has changed just by
understanding and applying this one subtle but necessary shift.
Of course I could tell you how great it is and that there is a secret
and bait you along just to get you to buy a product from me, or pay me
to tell you. But I am not going to do that.
A prosperity affirmation, or words of affirmation about abundance,
weight loss, happiness or self-esteem are not about affirming what you
HAVE!
This is why I would not stick to my affirmations longer then two
days! What is wrong with me I thought. Why don't I say my
affirmations so I can get the things that I want instead of plodding
along or changing my mind?
The answer is simple, although it wasn't simple at the time over those last seven years, it was annoying.
You see affirmations are not about affirming what you want to have, but don't have now, they are about how you want to BE!!!!!.
An affirmation should start with the words 'I
am'. This is the breakthrough that I did not understand. If
you affirm something like 'I have an annual income of $300,000" then
there is no real substance to it. An income of $300,000 is not a
quality of your essential nature, therefore it is not an affirmation,
it is simply a wish.
Now I am not saying that saying 'I have an annual income of $300,000"
won't get you there, maybe it will. But is your heart in it and
will you carry on with the affirmations day after day? If so try
it, if not then that is probably why you are reading this page.
Affirmations are statements that affirm what is true about your true,
essential nature that you are not in touch with at the moment.
For example your essential nature is happy, wise, wealthy, healthy,
abundant, forgiving, loving, calm, peaceful, friendly,...etc.
In other words these are states of Being. They are not things you
have or do they are ways to be. This is the secret of
affirmations.
We have it backwards. We think that when we have something, or do
something we will be something. But we need to go the other
way. We need to be something first, and then everything that is
lined up with state of being will be attracted into our lives.
If you are happy, then the universe will attract to you opportunities
for you to be happy. if you are healthy, then you will find
yourself turning away from foods that disagree with you and moving
towards more raw fruit and vegetables. Not because you are using
will power to eat better, but because your whole system is lining up
with who you have selected to be, which is healthy.
So if you want to weigh less, affirm that you are healthy (I wouldn't
even affirm "I am slim' for example because your essential nature is
not slim, it is healthy). You want to affirm the things that are essentially true
about you, which you are choosing to experience.
This also allows for short snappy affirmations that are easy to repeat
over and over like a little tune in your head. I am happy, I am
healthy, I am wealthy, I am wise.
Whether it is a prosperity affirmation, self-esteem affirmation or
something else, choose how you want to be, and the universe will
conspire on your behalf to arrange the circumstance and opportunities
for you to be that.
