I AM affirmations are some of the most powerful statements you can make if you’re wanting to shift and upgrade your reality.
In this article, I’ll first explain the why’s and how’s of affirmations, and then I’ll share powerful I AM affirmations you can use in the areas of success, self-love and healing.
Do affirmations really work?
Affirmations do work, but the secret key is this: feeling.
You cannot repeat rote, robotic affirmations and think they will change your life. You cannot repeat an affirmation that you don’t have a strong feeling about and expect it to do anything for you.
Affirmations work when you feel them to be true. Now, you may not feel them at first because there’s usually an adjustment period where you allow the idea of the affirmation to be true for you, but once you start getting into that feeling place, the affirmation will begin to reflect in your life experience.
This works just as easy for the negative affirmations we say to ourselves. If you say I am an unhealthy person and you feel really bad about it, it will come to pass because you feel it as true.
Whatever you feel to be true affects your vibration, and your vibration is what creates your reality.
How many affirmations should I say a day?
The more focused you are on a certain reality, the quicker it will manifest. So I suggest picking no more than three affirmations to focus on. I usually focus in on only one or two desires I’m wanting to manifest.
As I mentioned, when you first start using an affirmation, it’s probably not going to move you emotionally very much. It will likely feel empty and your ego is pretty much going to just laugh. That’s normal. All beliefs pretty much start out that way.
An affirmation is essentially programming your mind into a belief. Once a belief takes hold, an emotion is formed and once the emotion is felt, your vibration is shifted. This is another reason why it can be easier to start with one affirmation so you can really let it take root in your mind.
How to correctly practice affirmations
Start out repeating your chosen affirmation several times a day when you remember to think of it. Write it down. Have in your mind a picture of something that will take effect because of your affirmation being true in your physical reality. See this clearly in your mind when you repeat your affirmation to yourself.
For example, if your affirmation has something to do with a promoted position at work, an effect of that would be a new workspace. You would then visualize with acute clarity being in that workspace: feel the desk, see the view, see the meetings that would take place, etc. Pick something and visualize it every time you say your affirmation to yourself.
Combining visualization with affirmations will speed up your process of feeling into this new reality.
Another thing that helped me manifest a new reality with affirmations was writing them down on sticky notes and placing them around the house so that I was constantly reminded. Read books that boost your belief in manifestation, feel grateful for your current reality, and do general things to keep your mindset healthy.
All of these things will help in producing a strong, healthy, powerful vibration that will attract what you’re wanting to manifest in your life.
Below are affirmation ideas for success, self-love and healing. Choose a few, use them as they are or adjust them until they feel right for you (because that’s what matters). And have fun watching your reality begin to shift.
