Positive Affirmation Statements
Brian Tracy wrote a book called 'Maximum Achievement' and in it he explains the power of saying, "I like myself". This, and many other phrases are, or can be considered positive affirmation statements. I have to agree, there is real power in speaking these words out loud. I have decided to develop, and post my own list of positive affirmation statements:
I like myself.
I respond positively to negative situations, circumstances and information.
I am a successful father.
I am a caring husband.
I weight 170lb.
I run every day.
I play the piano.
I am financially independent.
The list is endless of words you could say to help boost your feelings of self-worth. These words, when spoken aloud will begin to work on/with your subconscious mind to create the ideal you. If you feel a little down about yourself, or would like to feel better about yourself, begin by saying, "I like myself" out loud, at least 10 - 20 times a day.
The point is to come up with a list, and read the list aloud, with conviction. You say these words, to yourself, with belief and purpose. In my example, above these are not all currently true. I'm not financially independent, but I plan to be. It's not quite as effective if I were to say, "I will be financially independent", or worse "I hope to be financially independent". Your PSAs need to be present-tense, positive and they will work. Do not use negative words, like "don't, not, wouldn't, can't", etc.
Try it. Develop your own list, or (at the least) try saying "I like myself" every day. Post your comments below and be sure to tell how it's been working for you in your life.
