Affirmations Launch Your Success! Best From The Rich And Famous.

“Do you believe in affirmations?”

“I’m not a mirror-talker,” I reply.

But if I was to be honest, I’m full of affirmations. Especially in the shower and kitchen.

Some of my favorites?

“Don’t Worry Be Happy,” by Bobby McFarron.

Just Do It.” Big thumbs up to Nike for that one!

“Keep going…you’re almost there!” How many times have I whispered these? Maybe a billion?

Why?

Because affirmations are clinically proven to be effective. Psychologists utilize them to help clients make significant and positive changes in themselves or their lives.

 

Popular affirmations used by Psychologists.

1. I am a good person who deserves to be happy.
2. I have confidence in my abilities.
3. I am comfortable being myself.

 

“I am” affirmations help Athletes to improve their performance.

1. I am the fastest.
2. I am the toughest.
3. I am a world champion.

 

(Mohamad Ali was quoted as saying, “’I am the greatest’. I told myself that even before I knew I was.” 

 

Favorites for Entrepreneurs:

1. I will be successful.
2. My success or failures do not define me. They grow me.
3. I have confidence in my abilities.

 

“I can do this, I can do this, I can do this, I WILL do this! 

 

Aspiring businessmen and women use affirmations like coffee.

 

Suze Orman wrote the following phrase and said it to herself 25 times a day. “I am young, powerful, successful, and producing at least $10,000 a month.”

And a few months later, it was true.

 

Are affirmations magical?

No. Their purpose is to train our minds to think positively. To create a productive mindset that gives the energy and focus we need to achieve our goals.

Ronald Alexander, Ph.D., states that affirmations work because our brains can be trained to believe a spoken concept…

 

“This is because the mind doesn’t know the difference
between what is real or fantasy. When you watch a
movie and you start to laugh or cry your mind is
empathizing with the characters on the screen even
though it is only Hollywood magic.”

 

Should I try affirmations?”, you may ask.

Well that’s up to you. 

But you know what they did for Mohammad Ali…

 

 

Muhammad Ali (1942-2016) was one of the greatest sporting figures of all time. An Olympic gold medalist and the first fighter to win the heavyweight title three times. Ali won 56 times in his 21-year professional career.

 

And for Suze Orman…

Suze Orman went from a waitress who made $400.00 a month to a financial mogul worth many, many millions.

 

So here’s a list of affirmations to get you started. They’re based on quotes of famous people who used them as inspiring words to live by.
