An affirmation is a positive statement about yourself that can cover three areas: who you are, your potential, and positive change in your life. Determine what you want to be true about yourself. Write it down, describing yourself as if you already had it. Be as articulate and thoughtful as possible. Use colorful language. Example: I work hard and deserve to relax frequently, fully and completely. My family and friends benefit from my resulting contentment and peace. Once written down, make several copies. Post in various places and carry with you. Read it and/or recite your description aloud several times a day. If you don’t feel it’s true yet, resist the urge to argue with its claim.
