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.
