"If you persuade yourself that you can do a certain thing, provided
that this thing be possible, you will do it however
difficult
it may be."
— Emile Coue (1920) — |
AFFIRMING YOUR SUCCESS
"I nourish my body with just the right amount of healthy,
nutritious foods."
"I am a loving and conscious husband and father who lives
a high-quality life."
"My work is helping people develop the courage, the focus
and the support to live the lives they most desire."
These are a few of the affirmations I say to myself several
times a day. Over the past twelve years, I have read dozens
of books, listened to hundreds of tapes, and attended countless
seminars to help me grow both personally and professionally.
One of the lessons I frequently heard in my studies, was to
use the power of affirmations to be, do and have what I most
want in life. I didn't really buy it. I thought, "How can
just saying some words to myself over and over make any difference
in my life?" Now I know different.
Over the past few years I have experimented with affirmations.
I've followed the timeless lessons: Write them down, phrase
them in positive language, say them throughout the day, etc.
Now I find myself praising the benefits of this "Success
Ritual" with my coaching clients, when I speak, and when
I write. (I'm actually doing it right now!)
Tony Collette, a major contributor in the field of autosuggestion,
defines affirmations as "positive statements about yourself
or a situation spoken in the first person and present tense.
They describe what you want to be, what you want to have, how
you want to live."
If you want to be, do and have what you want most in life, I
strongly suggest you add affirmations to your daily success
habits.
ACTION IDEA:
Write out at least three affirmations based on your goals or
on qualities you wish to further develop in yourself. Write
them in positive language (not "I won't..." or "I
don't..."). Read them when you wake up, before every meal,
and right before you go to bed. Do this consistently for 30
days and notice how affirmations can work for you.
