Give Your Dreams Life

Today’s Affirmation:

Today I breathe life into my dreams, rather than my doubts!

Tomorrow, you think, I’ll live my dreams. Tomorrow, you think, it will be easier and I will have more time. You analyze and allow your inner skeptic and inner critic to convince us that inaction is safer than action. You allow them to convince you that you can have reward without risk.

You forget the wonder, the hope, and the joy you once knew as child. Have you lost your belief? Are you too smart to believe now? Are you too cynical to recognize your dreams knocking?

I don’t believe any of that about you – not for a second! I know the miracle you are and the force of nature you can become for your dreams, if only you would. The “Comfort Zone” is aptly named. It is comfortable, but you will never find your dreams there.

Today do at least one thing that stretches you. Today believe in just one thing that your eyes can’t see yet. Today trust in one thing that your mind can’t prove yet. That’s a dream – unseen, unknown, unprovable until belief and action bring it to life.

Your dreams are waiting for you just on the other side of your willingness to act.

I believe in you. Meet me half way and believe in you too!

25 Miscellaneous Affirmations for Every Day Life

First Person and Second Person Affirmations

Today I am sharing 25 miscellaneous affirmations. Each follows the first person, second person formula. I’ve written before on the importance of using first and second person affirmations.

Many affirmation gurus suggest that all affirmations be written in the first person. First person affirmations are the most effective when reading, writing, or saying affirmations. Most people do not feel comfortable looking into a mirror and using “you” affirmations.However, audio affirmations open up a whole new realm. Listening is more passive than speaking or reading and you are used to hearing people speak to you in the second person.

My 20 years of experience with audio affirmations demonstrates that second-person affirmations are highly effective as audio affirmations. They offer “outside” confirmation of the first-person version of the affirmation.

For example, following “I am beautiful” with “You are beautiful” provides subconscious external confirmation of the first-person claim.

Negate and Affirm: The Power of But

Today’s Thought:

Words have amazing power. When you use them well, they can power you.

From time immemorial, back through Hay, Peale, W. Clement Stone, and Wallace Wattles, it has been affirmation heresy to use any words that are perceived as negative in an affirmation. I have one thing to say about that….BUT.

Actually, the advice of all these affirmation gurus is not wrong. What they have taught is word your affirmations in a way that affirms what you want not a negative you don’t want. Example: I am winning rather than I don’t want to lose. BUT

Many years ago, when I started using and writing affirmations, I noticed how powerful the wold BUT can be when used in an affirmation. I call this negating and affirming.

BUT is a very powerful word in the English language. It consciously and unconsciously negates what was said before it. You hear examples everyday and you have experienced its power. “I love you, BUT…” “You’re great at what you do, BUT…” What does that BUT do? It’s an overt negation of what you just said. It diminishes its meaning and replaces it with what you are about to say next. In these cases, it is often a criticism, BUT…

Used with an affirmation, BUT can boost the power of the affirmation. It negates the negative thought and adds power to the affirmation that comes after. You can say something positive about the issue, negative thought, or even perceived challenge, negate it with BUT, and then follow that with an affirmation to overcome it.

Examples:

Alcohol is strong, BUT I AM stronger!
Getting published is tough, BUT I AM publishing my book!
I may face setbacks, BUT I am overcoming them!

Try this. It is very powerful. Subconsciously, negating is powerful and affirming is powerful. Together they will boost your affirmations.
