Are Affirmations A Waste Of Time? NOPE!

In my opinion, they're so important and always valuable, if you use them well.

Affirmations are simply positive messages that we feed ourselves. Or even say to others.

But we need to choose our words with care.

I used to say “I’m a strong and independent woman,” and then I got a powerful reminder of the power of my words.

I was putting out a message that I didn’t need other people to help me because I could do it all myself.

Whilst I am more than capable of doing a lot of things myself, I do want to feel supported, and I want other people to help me.

So I changed my words to “I am a phenomenal woman.”

Affirmations can become ineffective and feel like a lie if they are too far away from your reality right now.

Some people can be outright broke and totally get the feeling of being super wealthy when they say, “I’m a millionaire.”

Now, I’m a Mindset Coach, and I’ve done a lot of muscle testing with people to see which affirmations they accept.

Most people, myself included, feel like these big leap affirmations are a lie, and they don’t feel positive for us.

In this case, I like to use step-up affirmations instead.

Use step-up affirmations

Let’s take the scenario of being broke (financially) to being a millionaire.

Step-up affirmations could look something like this.

• I am open to receiving more money

• It’s safe for me to receive more money

• I am learning how to manage my money better

• I am building my wealth now

• I am attracting more and more money now

• My money is working for me now

• Every day, in every way, I am becoming more and more wealthy

• I feel wealthy now

• It feels natural for me to have a lot of money now

• I’m a wealth builder now

This continues until you feel supported and uplifted by affirmations such as…

• I’m a millionaire

• I am super wealthy

Affirmations create a feeling. If the words you choose create a low feeling, swap your words until they feel positive.
