The Power of Self-Affirmations

Real-Life Impact

• Amanda's Story: Amanda found that daily affirmations significantly improved her self-worth, helping her attract a partner who truly complements her. She credits these affirmations for her personal growth and relationship success.
• Personal Experience: I experienced a similar transformation. Listening to affirmations daily for a month led to personal achievements, like earning a Free Car from Mary Kay. It boosted my confidence and helped me attract a supportive partner.

Creating Your Own Affirmations

• DIY Approach: I used to make audio tapes of positive statements about myself and my goals. Rediscovering these tapes reminded me of my growth journey.
• Daily Practice: Reinvent yourself daily. Your thoughts about yourself are choices you control. You can reshape your belief system quickly.

Understanding Beliefs

The Nature of Beliefs

• Beliefs as Choices: A belief is a thought you repeat. It doesn't have to be true. For instance, some believe in UFOs without evidence. What matters is what you believe about yourself.
• Influence of Others: Often, beliefs stem from what others told us when we were young. Reflect on why you hold certain beliefs about yourself.

Challenging Negative Beliefs

• Case Study: A colleague, despite being talented, believed she was "dumb" due to her father's negative comments. She's now working on changing this belief by pursuing a degree for herself, not to meet her father's expectations.

Crafting Positive Beliefs

Self-Reflection

• Perfect Parenting Hypothetical: Consider what beliefs you'd hold if you were perfectly parented. Write them down.
• Self-Love and Worth: Ask yourself if you love yourself, believe you're smart, or feel deserving. Rank these beliefs by importance.

Affirmation Examples

• Sample Affirmations:

  • I love myself.
  • I am smart.
  • I am worthy.
