Exercise #4
Daily Afrmations
Instructions:
1–
Write an “I am” Statement:
Begin this exercise by writing an “I am” statement. Select a series of positive
characteristics or qualities you wish to adopt.
Note:
Remember, your list is not supposed to be exclusively an inventory of your
current qualities but those you wish to adopt.
2–
Specify who wrote you the letter:
The afrmation would be more efective if it is written from the viewpoint of a
second party as if he/she were writing a letter to you (preferably someone you
respect and look up to). Be sure to write the afrmation in the present tense.
3-
Write the afrmation and read it daily:
Read your afrmations daily.
Note: As you initially read the afrmation, you may not feel any immediate change. This occurs
because your subconscious is programmed to initially reject change. Persist and in a short time
you will view and feel the miraculous powers of autosuggestion.
Example:
Write the “I am” statement:
I am:
Smart, intelligent, focused, likable, ambi-
tious, optimistic, fun to be with, caring, kind, organized...
Specify who wrote you the letter:
This note was written to me by: My Mom or
(any prominent figure you respect)
Write the affrmation using the “I am list” and read it daily:
(Your Name), I am writing you to share with you my opinion about
you and your qualities. (Your Name) I have always respected you so
much. You are kind, caring, and full of affection.
You are happy, smile often, and are fun to be with. You are organized,
charismatic, and always full of energy. You are ambitious, optimistic,
and enthusiastic and everyone who meets you falls in love with your
qualities.
You have been an inspiration for many. I can see that people love and
enjoy being around you. I believe it is your kind demeanor and car-
ing personality that attracts others to you. One can see how much you
enjoy other people. (Your name), you were born to bless the lives of oth-
ers. You are unique and the world will never see another one like you
again.
