7 Affirmations I Never Leave Home Without
affirmations do work
I use affirmations all of the time. I wish that I had known about them when I was young, chances are I did know, but did not care or did not believe ( I met a dude the other day who told me that karma doesn’t exist, he’s in his 20s give him time). If you are going to do affirmations remember that they do not work if you don’t think that they do, and also that you can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need. OK that’s a Rolling Stones song, but it applies anyway.
- My all time favorite, never ever leave home without it. We were renovating our kitchen and I was looking for a stainless steel refrigerator back when stainless steel became popular again and I specifically wanted a side by side, ice and water dispenser etc etc. Well everything we looked at was 1500+ and being quite frugal I just was not about to spend that much on a refrigerator. We were out doing something or another one day and I was saying in my head “I expect the unexpected, my glorious good now comes to pass, spirit don’t let me miss a trick“. I had a hunch to go to yet another appliance store before we headed home, well what do ya know, they had my refrigerator (with a tiny, still can’t find it, scratch) so it was marked down to just over $600!
- Recruiting and business building - I borrowed this one from another network marketer who’s famous but I can’t remember his name (LOL) and I don’t want to put the wrong name - “To my reality I now attract quality likeminded individuals who I can partner with to generate 6 figure results in the next 12 months“
- Interviews, face to face presentations and stuff like that : “I am identified in love with the spirit of (person (s) name), God protects my interests and the divine idea now comes out of the situation“
- Forgiveness - We like to say that nobody’s perfect all of the time, and for the times that you have been more than imperfect this does the trick. I like to call it a karmic cleansing, start by acknowledging that you made a mistake and accept responsibility for it. “I call on the law of forgiveness. I am free from mistakes and the consequences of mistakes. I am under grace and not under Karmic law”
- Casting the Burden - Just lost your job, bill collectors calling, marriage crumbling, resenting everyone including your spouse, your former boss, and former co-workers who didn’t get laid off? Then you need to start by casting the burden so you can move on. “I cast this burden of (name your own poison here examples are lack, resentment, unhappiness) on the Christ within and go free (to have plenty, to be happy and harmonious etc)” So an actual affirmation woud read “I cast this burden of lack and resentment on the Christ within and go free to be loving, harmonious, happy and prosperous “
- You know in Napoleon Hill’s Think & Grow Rich he emphasizes the need to be decisive, if you find yourself suffering from indecision and/or insecurity here are two affirmations that could save you:
- “I am always under direct inspiration, I make right decisions quickly”
- “I am fully equipped for the divine plan of my life”
- Two of my favorites for success and prosperity. Notice it says ” Irresistible power and determination” how can the Universe possibly resist you?
- I now draw from the universal substance with irresistible power and determination that which is mine by divine right
- I give thanks that the millions which are mine by divine right now pour in and pile up under grace in perfect ways
Most of these come directly from the book “The Writings of Florence Scovel Shinn”; this book was not my introduction to metaphysics, but it came at a time when I was ready to receive the message. I had been laid off, been on many interviews and still no job, was about to lose my health insurance and was delirious most of the time from the flu. I read the book cover to cover and began to cast all those dang burdens immediately. Find even more affirmations in Florence’s book , but remember your cynical request will be answered in a like manner.
Oh and the house is mine , I’ll share that affirmation and the story behind it …next time.
What are your favorite affirmations? Care to share one with us?
Denise,
Excellent post, as you know I too am a firm believer of affirmations. Thanks to you I have bettered my life, as well as the life of my family, simply by using and believing in the affirmations. I would also like to throw out an endorsement for the Florence Scovel Shinn book, it has changed our lives forever. I am so glad you introduced me to the book, thanks for writing such a great post on affirmations, if people take them and use them daily, and believe in what they are saying their lives will change for the better, very quickly.
Great post. I enjoyed reading it and firmly agree with all the above affirmations. Mine is simple, I just try to smile and be nice when I am out and try to make someone’s day brighter. If I smile, I am happy and takes less work to smile than frown.
Thanks Scott, don’t stop believing, this is your year to shine
Thank you Lisa, I try to greet every day with love in my heart and a smile on my face, that absolutely does help!
I am firm believer in Napoleon Hill’s affirmations by following his 6 Steps to turn your desires into gold.

2. Determine what you expect to give as a service as result of receiving your desire
3. Specify exact date to accomplish your goal that you desire

5. Write a clear concise statement that includes the details of steps 1-4.
6. Read written statement 2X daily (morning and night)
See and feel yourself in possession of your goal
I love that book, have read it a couple of times. This is a great method also, thanks for sharing Naomi!
I like Zig Ziglar’s self-esteem affirmation. It’s kind of long, but I’m going to post it anyway:
“I,_______…am a person with integrity, a great attitude, and specific goals. I have a high energy level, am enthusiastic, and take pride in my appearance and what I do. I have a sense of humor, lots of faith, wisdom, and the vision and courage to use my talents effectively.
I have character, and am a smart, talented person. My beliefs are strong, and I have a healthy self-image, a passion for what is right, and a solid hope for the future. I am an honest, sincere, and hard-working. I am tough, but fair and sensitive. I am disciplined, motivated, and focused. I am a good listener and am very patient. I am an encourager, a good-finder, and a forgiving person. I am caring, unselfish, and committed to doing the right thing.
I am family oriented, open minded, and an excellent communicator. I am a student, a teacher, and a self starter. I am obedient, loyal, responsible, and dependable. I have a servant’s heart, am ambitious and a team player. I am personable, optimistic and organized. I am consistent, considerate, and resourceful.
I am intelligent, competent, persistent and creative. I am health conscious, balanced and clean. I am flexible, punctual and thrifty.
I am an honorable person who is truly grateful for the opportunity life has given me. These are the qualities of the winner I WAS BORN TO BE, and I fully intend to develop these marvelous qualities with which I have been entrusted by God.
Tonight I am going to sleep wonderfully well. I will dream powerful, positive dreams. I will awaken energized and refreshed, and tomorrow’s going to be magnificent.
God, my family and my true friends love me no matter what!”
A great choice of affirmations Denise. I always love reading your posts learn something each time. Thanks for speaking of the book of affirmations. I will add it to my library of great reads.
