Lesson 15. Lessons in Positivity

Lesson 15 - Lessons in Positivity

Abstract: This lesson deals with Creating Effective Affirmations

Jack Canfield is a motivational speaker. His book 'Success Principles' is a popular publication.

He has mentioned some nine guidelines for creating effective affirmations. I am repeating them with some modifications to fit my format of Positivity.

• Start Affirmations with the words I am . . . . . Why? One may ask. Our SCM interprets this use as being a command.
  
• Using the Present Continuous Tense or better still a Present Perfect Tense. I am reaching the station on time. Better: I am reaching the station at 10 am today. Still Better: I see myself at Pune Railway Station at 10 am.
• Make the affirmation free of any negative word. Wrong: I am not afraid of driving.   Right: I am free of fear of driving. Right:  I am free of fear when driving.
  
• Make the affirmation short. Like we count words when we advertise in classified ads in the newspaper, because each word costs money. 
• Account for time while delivering the affirmation. I would give a year when messaging to buy a flat / six months to buy a car / a month to buy jewellery / an extra 20 minutes to ask for a parking slot. 
• Make the affirmation specific. I am coming to own a new car. Making it specific : I am coming to own a new Red Honda City Car.
• Make it executable by choosing correct words. I confidently deliver speeches / talks before a crowd. I am free of hesitation expressing myself.
• Add a dynamic emotion. Some commonly used words are : joyfully, happily, proudly, calmly, confidently, delighted, enthusiastic, enthusiastically, coolly, serenely, triumphantly. I am confident that I will deliver the talk before students nicely.
• Affirmations are made for self. They have to be intelligently worded when they are made for others. I see our maid Janaki coming on time to work. 
• Add something better when wanting. A nice roomy, well lit, well ventilated three bedroom, hall, kitchen flat with a balcony / terrace is coming to me in Andheri West or somewhere better.

Summary: We have seen ten ways to make effective affirmations. 

Please recite these affirmations by generating the right mindset, mood and in alpha state.
All consideration, cooperation, help and assistance comes to me easily. 

All things good come to me easily.

I happily enjoy all good things in life.

I get ideas about how to get over things that are difficult and challenging.

I am a blessed person.
