Do you currently use positive affirmations and daily quotes as part of your daily routine? This type of positive self-talk is very powerful and, if used consistently can transform your reality. In this article, we’ll explore affirmations for a variety of life-changing motifs including affirmations for money, love, family, kids, weight loss, healing, anger management, parenting, confidence, law of attraction, gratitude, health, abundance, and more. 

Ready? Lets go!

What is an Affirmation?

Dictionary.com has the formal definition of an affirmation as:

1. “the act or an instance of affirming; state of being affirmed.
2. the assertion that something exists or is true.
3. something that is affirmed; a statement or proposition that is declared to be true.”

Personally I like definition #2 because I find it the most powerful version of the definition from the standpoint of someone who wants to use affirmations to make their life better. 

When looking at affirmations from that mindset, I think an even easier definition of affirmations is:

An affirmation is positive self-talk that you believe is true.

When you use affirmations in the form of positive self-talk and you allow yourself to believe in the good things you say about yourself, it’s a fact that these positive words have the power to change your life in wonderful ways. Don’t take my word for it, see what both psychologists and the medical community has to say on the topic of using positive self-talk.

The bottom line – affirmations in the form of positive self talk works. 

Affirmations Changed My Life

For the first 46 years of my life, I thought affirmations were kind of corny, but that changed in 2017 when I finally gave them a chance — and WOW, I can’t believe the results using affirmations and the law of attraction had in my life!

I went from generally having an overly critical, pessimistic view of the world to instead having a more positive outlook on life, my personal health, and financial abundance. I used affirmations to help ‘attract’ myself info the best shape I’ve been in since college, get a new job where I’m making more money than ever before, write a new book, start multiple new websites, and change my outlook on life. More importantly affirmations have helped me become a better husband and father, grow my spiritual connection to God, and just become a happier, more relaxed person. 

If affirmations have done all this for me, imagine what they can do for YOU too!

How to Use Daily Affirmations & Positive Quotes

As with all the wisdom I share, it’s not rocket science. The way I use daily affirmations and positive self-talk is pretty simple — yet the results create tremendous personal power.

How to use Affirmations – a Simple Three Step Process

1. First I write the daily affirmations I want to focus on as part of my “SMART” Morning Routine. I write THREE affirmations or positive quotes each morning and I use them to specifically focus myself on key areas that I believe will help me ‘win’ the day.
2. Next, I incorporate some simple Breath Meditation into the process with my affirmations — I sit quietly, use my breath meditation, and repeat each positive affirmation or daily quote three times. I try to visual each affirmation in my mind’s eye — my goal is to see myself living the affirmation. At the same time, I try to get my mind, body, and soul (yes, all three) to encode what it feels like deep within my personal DNA, because I know that when I do this, the affirmation has a greater chance to become a reality. This is essentially the process of using the affirmation as a law of attraction. 
3. Finally, because I know I want to use affirmations every day, I keep every affirmation and quote on a google doc that is connected to all my mobile devices. Throughout the day, when I have downtime, I refer back to the doc, remind myself of the affirmations and quotes and repeat them to myself numerous times during the day.

Mike’s Notes:

1. I became introduced to them after listening to some ‘journey’ meditations on BalanceInMe.com — I kept seeing all these affirmation audios with titles like I am healthy, I am grateful, I choose, etc. I figured ‘what the heck, let’s give them a try.’
2. I’ve used a lot more than just 79 this year so far, but that’s because I repeat a lot of them on different days. I removed the repeats from the list and the result was ‘79.’ It’s magic!
3. Rogue One — because every good post deserves a Star Wars reference, right?
4. Some other great sites for affirmations include: The Affirmations of Louise Hay, Develop Good Habits, and Mind Valley.
