Crafting good, effective affirmations is not rocket science. In fact you have done quite well at developing and using them already. Remember the last time you thought about a six-week vacation or you saw the luxury home of your dreams? A thought like I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT probably came to your mind.

That thought was an affirmation. It was negative, but it was an affirmation none the less. You did not analyze it. You did not argue with it. You simply accepted it, dismissed the vacation or the home of your dreams from your mind and went on with whatever you were doing. Just imagine the number of times you thought or uttered a similar statement about other more mundane situations.

A major factor to keep in mind is the negative statement above was produced by your self image. It is telling you that you are not worthy of that vacation or that home. It is saying you BELONG in your current situation. It is all right for other people to take such a vacation or own such a home because they probably did something dishonest or illegal to get the money to experience them. You should remain true to your values and stay put.

This I predict for you: If you continue to listen to your self image, your future situation will be very much like your present one.

Suppose you changed I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT to I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO AFFORD THAT RIGHT NOW; BUT THERE IS A WAY TO DO IT, AND I TRUST MY DEEPER MIND TO PROVIDE ME WITH A SOLUTION.

Do you notice a shift? You are no longer summarily dismissing your desire. You are developing an air of expectancy, however slight. Let us take it a step farther. Your ultimate desire is to BE on that vacation or BE in your luxury home. Simply mentally place yourself into the enjoyable activities of your vacation or the beautiful confines of your luxury home.

Allow yourself to feel the excitement and the joy of experiencing your desire in that moment. Form another affirmation to capture that MENTAL MOMENT of having what you want. I AM SO HAPPY AND GRATEFUL NOW THAT I EXPERIENCE THIS WONDERFUL VACATION IN ____________, or I AM SO HAPPY AND GRATEFUL NOW THAT I EXPERIENCE MY BEAUTIFUL, LUXURY HOME!

Tail enders are likely to spring into your mind to attempt to convince you that your reality is your present surroundings and your present financial conditions. Firmly, and in a non-confrontational manner, invite them to leave, immediately focus your attention on your desire, and continue with your affirmations.

Engage as many of your five senses in your mental experience as you possibly can while repeating your affirmations. Make sure your affirmation references the present moment. In essence, affirmations should always be accompanied by a mental image or visualization of your desire to the extent possible.

This I know for sure. You can claim or re-claim control of your own mind power. You are the most miraculous of all living beings on earth. You are the owner of a mind that is so stupendous, that as you truly begin mastering your mind power and consciously using it, there is no dream that you can dream that you cannot achieve.
