This affirmation writing session couldn't have been scheduled at a more perfect time. I've been needing to add something to my daily routine that would fuel me throughout the day, especially the times of the day when a nap is calling my name. Currently, I have been listening to Zig Ziglar every morning, followed by music 🎶 and visualizations, then off to start my day I go🏃🏾‍♀️💨.

Here is the affirmation that I've written. Feel free to recite this one or write your own. I would just encourage you to use the one you connect with.

"Everyday is a brick I lay for my future successes.

I see, hear and feel my goals through the tough times.

I am one step closer with each step that I take.

My family has my back, God has my heart, and I am standing on the shoulder of greats.

Nothing can stop me, besides me. My mind is the key into my life and map to my journey.

My state of mind determines by state of being. "

Another great affirmation reciting technique is to start with reciting quotes. When I first started reciting affirmations, it was difficult for me to stick to the routine. I would do it for a week, then fall off. The next week I would pick it up for a couple of days then fall off again. It was a process for me. But in order to make an action a habit, it is said you have to do it consistently for 21 days or 21x. Instead of doing the affirmations, I studied myself for 21 days straight. I mean, it wasn't a nobel prize piece organized with theories and a control group. It was actually pretty considering I cant separate from myself.. or can I? Hmmm, thats another question for another blog.. Anywhoo, this is what I found..

I found myself easily reciting short poems that I loved; one after the other. Most people have a mental archive of song lyrics, I have a mental archive of quotes. I 🤔wondered if I created an affirmation with a mixture of my favorite quotes, then it might actually stick. I tried it and it worked!💡Not only was it easier to recite, but I was more confident in my statements. I used this to my advantage and now I can recite some powerful quotes by memory. This mental booster truly has changed my life. Having quotes on mental deck allow me to turn just about any negative into a positive. That skill will take you a long way.
