Instant Affirmations
Here's a great technique to create "Instant Affirmations" to boost your energy, strengthen your spiritual commitment, and change your focus of awareness.
Go through the alphabet and brainstorm several positive words beginning with each letter. For example:
A = awesome, amazing, authentic
B = beautiful, bodacious, brilliant
C = creative, caring, confident
Look back over your list, and put the words "I AM" in front of each word, stating the sentence out loud with conviction!
(I AM awesome! I AM amazing! ...)
Notice the impact this has on your energy level as well as your attitude and feelings about yourself!
BONUS TIP: Try this when you are stuck in traffic. Take a look at the license plates around you, and come up with positive words for the letters on the plates. It will really shift your attitude in a frustrating situation!
