Positive affirmation is almost like cheating. Because when you repeatedly give your mind positive affirmation, it starts to react as if they were true. Your mind cannot distinguish between reality and fiction. That is probably why we get nightmares when we see scary things, even if we know they are not for real. As in Sweden summer of 1975, when Jaws had premier in the cinemas. The bathing areas all around Sweden suddenly got empty.

Positive affirmation is simply put positive words spoken about yourself, your abilities and what you want to accomplish or become. These can be spoken by yourself by a script, to reassure that the same message gets repeated. Preferably in front of the mirror out loud. Works like a charm…

But to make it easier for us who may not want to speak out loud in front of a mirror, there are recordings. These you can just listen to in front of the computer, or even better on your phone.

A couple of days ago I got a fantastic recording of a positive affirmation in a nice format. You can just save it as a bookmark in your browser. I got it from Gavin Mountford: http://networkingsuperstars.com/affirmations/

Either you can bookmark his site or the actual recording:

Positive affirmation recording

Please try it. For me it immediately makes me think about what I do during the day and how I do it. It has like ready instructions for how to live your live and what to think about, whatever you plan to do. Suddenly I began planning the next day before I got to bed. And suddenly I started to prepare myself better before going to meetings, and suddenly I smile more…

Positive affirmation: “You can do it, and you know you can”

Take care and grow,

All the best to you
