You don't have to use the affirmations on this site to achieve the results you want. You can easily create your own. Your only limit is your own limitless imagination. Here are some guidelines to help you:
Keep them short. You will find in most cases that a single sentence is not only sufficient to state your belief, it is preferable. It reduces the time to repeat your affirmation, it also allows you to more easily remember your affirmation throughout the day.
Keep them positive. Say "I am now relaxed and have peace of mind," rather than "I have no stress." The problem with the last affirmation is that you have to think about what stress means to you in order to think about "no stress." And as you focus on what stress means to you, there is a greater possibility that you will actually create more stress. If someone tells you "Don't picture an elephant," what happens? Power affirmations work by consistently controlling your focus so that you focus only on what you want, not on what you don't want.
Keep them in the present. Say "my physical power, energy, and vitality are now exploding massively," rather than "in three months I will have all the physical power, energy, and vitality I desire." A power affirmation is not always a statement of current “reality.” That is not the purpose of using power affirmations. The purpose of power affirmations is to create what you desire by transforming intangible invisible thought into physical reality. A reality that most likely does not presently exist in your life. Think about it. If what you were confessing already existed in your life, it wouldn't be necessary for you to use the affirmations.
As you use power affirmations, you are training your subconscious mind to direct your focus and your activities to automatically move you in the direction of the end result that you desire. For example, even though you repeat the power affirmation "I am now wealthy," you probably don't have all the money you want or probably need in the moment. Your present reality may be that you are deeply in debt and struggling to make ends meet; however, by repeating this affirmation 10-20 times twice each day with emotional conviction and emotional energy, your mind will automatically begin looking for ways to create more wealth. You will begin to see and take advantage of opportunities you didn't see before.
You will read books on wealth that you didn't even know existed. You will develop new beliefs about what is possible.
Over time, these subtle changes in your everyday thinking will move you into the direction of creating more wealth. At the very least, you will create more wealth than you would have without using the power affirmation. Most likely, you will create more wealth than you may currently believe is possible. The feeling of wealth actually creates more wealth. This is one of the reasons why the "rich get richer." Power Affirmations used repeatedly help you to create a feeling of wealth before it actually exists in your life.
Ask yourself, "What do I have to believe in order to achieve the results I want?" And "What are the specific results I desire?" People who achieve outstanding results in a particular area think differently than people who achieve poor or average results in that area. Be a beliefs detective. When you make this an area of focus, you will be surprised at what you begin to notice as you read books, talk to others, watch TV and movies, etc. You will begin to see how people's beliefs and consistent focus created their current reality--both good and bad.
As you begin to detect the conscious and unconscious beliefs of others, you can select the ones that will create the reality that you desire and reject the beliefs that are preventing you from achieving the results you desire. Choose your beliefs.
Juice up the language of your power affirmations by adding words of positive emotional intensity. The power of affirmations is multiplied when you add emotional conviction. For example, instead of saying "I am now creating all the wealth I want and need," say "My imagination is now creating the massive financial abundance that I need and desire."
Why do great athletes physically pump themselves up by chanting, yelling, jumping up and down, etc.? It's because it increases their energy and sharpens their minds. They psych themselves up to feel strong and powerful. While not a substitute for skill and ability (usually gained through repetition--practice), it helps them put forth their best effort and achieve superior results.
There are many other points I could make about power affirmations, but they are not as important as your beginning to use them right away. Only then you will begin to experience the benefits for yourself. Their power will become real to you and you will continue to use them for the rest of your life.
