"Affirmations are our mental vitamins providing the supplementary positive thoughts we need to balance the barrage of negative events we experience daily." (Tia Walker)
Edwene Gaines, author of Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity, recommends that if you want to conquer your goals, you take the 21-Day Affirmation Challenge (http://ourprosperouslife.com/21-day-affirmation-challenge/2014/03/31). Make a list of goals, then make a list of positive, life-affirming statements to support each goal. (If you are a Christian, you can make a list of 21 Bible verses.) Write them down on index cards. For example, "I am happily vacationing two months of the year in a tropical paradise and working just four days a week on my own business." (http://jackcanfield.com/visualize-and-affirm-your-desired-outcomes-a-step-by-step-guide/) After 21 days, the aim is for the statements to have passed from your conscious into your subconscious mind.
As Jack Canfield says, "Visualization and affirmations allow you to change your beliefs, assumptions and opinions about the most important person in your life -- YOU!" If you set aside a day to add up how much self-talk you do, you would be amazed at how much time you spend in the process. It is too easy to get bogged down in negative self-talk, to beat yourself up about what has gone wrong in your life. Unlearn the habit of negative self-talk; it will uplift your spirit.
As a writer, I appreciate stories of authors who overcome rejection and go on to publish their books.. Jack Canfield, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul, was rejected 144 times for his manuscript "Anthologies don't sell," was the standard response he received. Jack Canfield employed visualization and affirmation to overcome the repeated rejections.
"When we were writing the very first Chicken Soup for the Soul book, we took a copy of the New York Times bestseller list, scanned it into our computer, and using the same font as the newspaper, typed Chicken Soup for the Soul into the number one position in the "Paperback Advice, How To and Miscellaneous" category. We printed several copies and hung them around the office. Less than two years later, our book was the number one book in that category and stayed there for over a year!"(http://jackcanfield.com/visualize-and-affirm-your-desired-outcomes-a-step-by-step-guide/)
