The key takeaways are that affirmations and the process of autosuggestion can be used to transform desires into reality, including achieving financial goals. Setting a financial goal is recommended as it is measurable and achieving wealth makes it easier to achieve other goals.

According to the text, setting a financial goal is recommended for three reasons - it makes achieving other goals easier due to more resources and peace of mind, the right way to achieve money is by helping others, and it allows one to practice the process of manifestation which can then be applied to other goals.

Autosuggestion is self-suggestion, suggesting ideas to oneself consciously or unconsciously. It is usually habitual self-talk that can be controlled consciously to reprogram the subconscious mind using affirmations and the principle of autosuggestion from Think and Grow Rich.

Affirm and Grow Rich


In Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill clearly identified the reason most people
decided to read his book (from the chapter on Faith):
consider the purpose for which you are, presumably, reading this book.
The object is, naturally, to acquire the ability to transform the intangible
thought impulse of DESIRE into its physical counterpart, money.

I think thats the reason that most people are interested in the list of affirmations
that I have created. Most people want a way to condition their minds so that they
can transform their thoughts and ideas into the money that they need and desire.
Some people want to achieve other goals, but the good news is the process is
exactly the same. You may choose different affirmations, but the process of
using the affirmation is exactly the same.
Even if you are primarily interested in achieving a goal that is not financially
related, I suggest its still a good idea to set a financial goal for the following
reasons:
1. When you have an abundance of money, it is a lot easier to achieve your
other goals. You have more peace of mind, more time, and more resources
to make it easier to achieve your goals. In fact, many people I interact with
tell me, help me get the money I desire and I will easily take care of my
other goals.
2. The right way to achieve money is to first render useful service to others.
You have to give before you get. You earn money by contributing to the
improvement of humankind. So, the more people who are earning money
the right way, the better the world will be for all of us.
3. Achieving a financial goal is definite and measurable. You either achieve it
or you dont. Its actually a great way to practice and perfect your ability to
manifest whatever you want in your life. As I said, the process of achieving
a financial goal is the same as achieving any other goal. Once you learn
how to master this process of accumulating wealth, you can use it to
achieve your other goals.
So, I encourage you to think of your personal financial goal as you review the
affirmations. Even those that do not appear to be related to achieving a financial
goal are related as anything that contributes to your self-improvement also
contributes to your ability to create wealth.

Before we get to the list of affirmations, it will be useful for you to read Chapter 4
of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. This is the chapter devoted to the
principle of Autosuggestion. For this reason, Ive decided to include a copy of the
chapter with the list of affirmations. You will find the chapter after this brief
introduction.
What is Autosuggestion?
Lets think about what suggestion is for a minute. A suggestion is an idea, plan,
or purpose proposed by another person that they want you to accept and act
upon. A suggestion comes from outside of yourself. Advertising is a form of
suggestion.
Autosuggestion is self-suggestion. It is a suggestion made by yourself to
yourself. Autosuggestion can happen unconsciously or it can happen
consciouslyin other words, on purpose.
When it happens unconsciously, it usually takes the form of habitual self-talk that
we engage in without really paying attention. For that reason, until we learn to
take conscious control of our autosuggestion/self-talk, much of the
suggestions we make to ourselves is heavily influenced by our environment.
If you are fortunate enough to grow up in a positive environment, then your selftalk is likely to be habitually positive. If you live in a neutral or negative
environment, your self-talk is more likely to be negative.
There are several ways to consciously use autosuggestion such as meditation,
visualization, vision boards, dream building, self-hypnosis, music, poetry,
inspirational books, and (of course) affirmations. In my experience, using
affirmations is the easiest way to apply the principle of autosuggestion.
What Autosuggestion is NOT
In my opinion, autosuggestion, is NOT a "magic" set of words that will change
circumstances outside of yourself. They WILL help you improve your own
behavior. And as your own behavior, thought habits, and skills improve, you will
be better equipped to take bold and intelligent action to improve your situation
and achieve your goals.
But ultimately it is your own ACTIONS or BEHAVIOR and not the affirmations
that will have the greatest impact on your ability to achieve your goals.

The reason I point this out is that a lot of people who contact me seem to think
that affirmations can be used as some kind of "magic spell" to get what they want
without having to take action. I don't believe this is the case.
The Importance of Conscious Autosuggestion
Most of us have some area in our lives that we want to improve. For example, we
may want to increase our self-confidence. Or we may want to have better
relationships. Or we may want to increase our wealth.
In order to improve in these areas, we need to improve our thought habits. And
one of the best ways to do that is to use positive autosuggestion.
In the next section, Ive included Napoleon Hills chapter on autosuggestion in its
entirety. This is from my electronic workbook version of Think and Grow Rich,
so if you like, you can add your notes in the text fields provided. You can also add

AUTOSUGGESTION is one of the most practical aspects of Napoleon Hills philosophy


of success. It seems easy to usefrom a purely mechanical standpoint, it is. But many
people have difficulties with it because it needs to be applied consciously and
consistently with conviction.
AUTOSUGGESTION is not merely reading words or visualizing what you want. It is
about raising your level of consciousness and improving yourself as a person.
AUTOSUGGESTION is one of the most important principles. Napoleon Hill says this
further into the chapter:
You are now reading the chapter which represents the keystone to the
arch of this philosophy. The instructions contained in this chapter must be
understood and APPLIED WITH PERSISTENCE, if you succeed in
transforming desire into money.
The actual performance of transforming DESIRE into money, involves the
use of self-suggestion as an agency by which one may reach, and
influence, the subconscious mind. The other principles are simply
tools with which to apply autosuggestion. Keep this thought in mind,
and you will, at all times, be conscious of the important part the principle of
autosuggestion is to play in your efforts to accumulate money through the
methods described in this book.
This is one of the shortest chapters in Think and Grow Rich, but the thought is very
deep. You should read it several times and meditate on the ideas to make certain you
have a solid understanding.
Also, it is one of the few chaptersmaybe the only chapterwhere Hill does not
provide any specific stories or mention any specific people.
CHAPTER 4
AUTOSUGGESTION
THE MEDIUM FOR INFLUENCING THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
The Third Step toward Riches
1
AUTOSUGGESTION is a term which applies to all suggestions and all selfadministered stimuli which reach ones mind through the five senses. Stated in
another way, autosuggestion is self-suggestion. It is the agency of communication
between that part of the mind where conscious thought takes place, and that which
serves as the seat of action for the subconscious mind.
We are interested in the conscious use of autosuggestion.

2
Through the dominating thoughts which one permits to remain in the conscious
mind, (whether these thoughts be negative or positive, is immaterial), the principle of
autosuggestion voluntarily reaches the subconscious mind and influences it with these
thoughts.
3
NO THOUGHT, whether it be negative or positive, CAN ENTER THE
SUBCONSCIOUS MIND WITHOUT THE AID OF THE PRINCIPLE OF
AUTOSUGGESTION, with the exception of thoughts picked up from the ether. Stated
differently, all sense impressions which are perceived through the five senses, are
stopped by the CONSCIOUS thinking mind, and may be either passed on to the
subconscious mind, or rejected, at will. The conscious faculty serves, therefore, as an
outer guard to the approach of the subconscious.
The conscious mind is the guard that stands at the gate of your subconscious mind.
There will be times when a negative thought will pass your mind, but you have the
ability to deliberately REJECT any thought you choose.
4
Nature has so built man that he has ABSOLUTE CONTROL over the material
which reaches his subconscious mind, through his five senses, although this is not
meant to be construed as a statement that man always EXERCISES this control. In the
great majority of instances, he does NOT exercise it, which explains why so many
people go through life in poverty.
5
Recall what has been said about the subconscious mind resembling a fertile
garden spot, in which weeds will grow in abundance, if the seeds of more desirable
crops are not sown therein. AUTOSUGGESTION is the agency of control through
which an individual may voluntarily feed his subconscious mind on thoughts of a
creative nature, or, by neglect, permit thoughts of a destructive nature to find their way
into this rich garden of the mind.
Examine your thoughts. What are the thoughts that pass through your mind on a
regular basis? How are you currently using your imagination?

It may help you to think of yourself as the observer of your thoughts. Your job is to

Choose the subjects you are going to focus on.


Observe your thoughts.
Decide which ones you are going to accept or reject.

Most of us are surrounded by negative people and negative influences. If you let your
guard down, its easy to let the outside world negatively influence you.
Incidentally, all advertising is a form of suggestion. Notice how often the same
commercial will be replayed on television. Autosuggestion is a way that you can
advertise to yourself.
6
You were instructed, in the last of the six steps described in the chapter on
Desire, to read ALOUD twice daily the WRITTEN statement of your DESIRE FOR
MONEY, and to SEE AND FEEL yourself ALREADY in possession of the money! By
following these instructions, you communicate the object of your DESIRE directly to
your SUBCONSCIOUS mind in a spirit of absolute FAITH. Through repetition of this
procedure, you voluntarily create thought habits which are favorable to your efforts to
transform desire into its monetary equivalent.
7
Go back to these six steps described in chapter two, and read them again, very
carefully, before you proceed further. Then (when you come to it), read very carefully
the four instructions for the organization of your Master Mind group, described in the
chapter on Organized Planning. By comparing these two sets of instructions with that
which has been stated on self-suggestion, you, of course, will see that the instructions
involve the application of the principle of autosuggestion.
For your reference, here are the instructions from Chapter 2:
The method by which DESIRE for riches can be transformed into its financial
equivalent, consists of six definite, practical steps:
First.

Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient
merely to say I want plenty of money. Be definite as to the amount.
(There is a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described
in a subsequent chapter).

Second. Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you
desire. (There is no such reality as something for nothing.)
Third.

Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you
desire.

Fourth.

Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once,
whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.

Fifth.

Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to
acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to
give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which
you intend to accumulate it.

Sixth.

Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at
night, and once after arising in the morning. AS YOU READSEE AND
FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE
MONEY.

Here are the instructions from Chapter 7 on Organized Planning that hes referring to:
In Chapter two, you were instructed to take six definite, practical steps, as your
first move in translating the desire for money into its monetary equivalent. One of
these steps is the formation of a DEFINITE, practical plan, or plans, through
which this transformation may be made.
You will now be instructed how to build plans which will be practical:
(a)

Ally yourself with a group of as many people as you may need for the
creation, and carrying out of your plan, or plans for the accumulation of
money making use of the Master Mind principle described in a later
chapter. (Compliance with this instruction is absolutely essential. Do not
neglect it.)

(b)

Before forming your Master Mind alliance, decide what advantages, and
benefits, you may offer the individual members of your group, in return for
their cooperation. No one will work indefinitely without some form of
compensation. No intelligent person will either request or expect another
to work without adequate compensation, although this may not always be
in the form of money.

(c)

Arrange to meet with the members of your Master Mind group at least
twice a week, and more often if possible, until you have jointly perfected
the necessary plan, or plans for the accumulation of money.

(d)

Maintain PERFECT HARMONY between yourself and every member of


your Master Mind group. If you fail to carry out this instruction to the
letter, you may expect to meet with failure. The Master Mind principle
cannot obtain where PERFECT HARMONY does not prevail.

The instructions from Chapter 2 clearly involve autosuggestion, but its not as clear how
the 4 steps for building a Master Mind alliance employ the use of autosuggestion. But
this is where a broader understanding of autosuggestion will help you.

The people you surround yourself with and choose to be in harmony with have a strong
and profound influence on you. If you have a team of people who you meet with
multiple times per week for the purpose of achieving a definite major purpose, that will
have a strong, positive influence on your subconscious mind.
8
Remember, therefore, when reading aloud the statement of your desire (through
which you are endeavoring to develop a money consciousness), that the mere reading
of the words is of NO CONSEQUENCEUNLESS you mix emotion, or feeling with your
words. If you repeat a million times the famous Emil Cou formula, Day by day, in
every way, I am getting better and better, without mixing emotion and FAITH with your
words, you will experience no desirable results. Your subconscious mind recognizes
and acts upon ONLY thoughts which have been well-mixed with emotion or feeling.
The words you use in your autosuggestion are tools for keeping your mind focused, but
the power comes from mixing the words with the emotions of faith and enthusiasm.
9
This is a fact of such importance as to warrant repetition in practically every
chapter, because the lack of understanding of this is the main reason the majority of
people who try to apply the principle of autosuggestion get no desirable results.
10
Plain, unemotional words do not influence the subconscious mind. You will get
no appreciable results until you learn to reach your subconscious mind with thoughts, or
spoken words which have been well emotionalized with BELIEF.
What are some of the positive emotions you want to feel when you read your
autosuggestion statement? There are other positive emotions than faith that you will
find helpful. Heres a hint: how will you feel after you have achieved your goal?
Assume those feelings in advance.

One way to amplify your emotions is by moving your body. Think of fans at a sporting
event. They get emotionally involved in the game. They yell. They cheer. They jump

up and down. Learn to cheer for yourself. Read and speak your autosuggestion with
feeling.
I recommend that you find a private place to read your affirmation to avoid any feelings
of self-consciousness. I like to read mine in my car so that I know that Im not going to
be interrupted. Or at home when no one is around.
In addition to this, I like to silently read my card several times each day in order to
maintain my focus.
11
Do not become discouraged, if you cannot control and direct your emotions the
first time you try to do so. Remember, there is no such possibility as SOMETHING FOR
NOTHING. Ability to reach, and influence your subconscious mind has its price, and
you MUST PAY THAT PRICE. You cannot cheat, even if you desire to do so.
12
The price of ability to influence your subconscious mind is everlasting
PERSISTENCE in applying the principles described here. You cannot develop the
desired ability for a lower price. You, and YOU ALONE, must decide whether or not the
reward for which you are striving (the money consciousness), is worth the price you
must pay for it in effort.
13
Wisdom and cleverness alone, will not attract and retain money except in a few
very rare instances, where the law of averages favors the attraction of money through
these sources. The method of attracting money described here, does not depend upon
the law of averages. Moreover, the method plays no favorites. It will work for one
person as effectively as it will for another. Where failure is experienced, it is the
individual, not the method, which has failed. If you try and fail, make another effort, and
still another, until you succeed.
14
Your ability to use the principle of autosuggestion will depend, very largely, upon
your capacity to CONCENTRATE upon a given DESIRE until that desire becomes a
BURNING OBSESSION.
15
When you begin to carry out the instructions in connection with the six steps
described in the second chapter, it will be necessary for you to make use of the principle
of CONCENTRATION.
16
Let us here offer suggestions for the effective use of concentration. When you
begin to carry out the first of the six steps, which instructs you to fix in your own mind
the EXACT amount of money you desire, hold your thoughts on that amount of money
by CONCENTRATION, or fixation of attention, with your eyes closed, until you can
ACTUALLY SEE the physical appearance of the money. Do this at least once each
day. As you go through these exercises, follow the instructions given in the chapter on
FAITH, and see yourself actually IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY!
I believe that this is the essence of the instructions from Chapter 3 that he is referring to
(paragraphs 16-17):

Your BELIEF, or FAITH, is the element which determines the action of your
subconscious mind. There is nothing to hinder you from deceiving your
subconscious mind when giving it instructions through autosuggestion, as I
deceived my sons subconscious mind.
To make this deceit more realistic, conduct yourself just as you would, if you
were ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MATERIAL THING WHICH YOU
ARE DEMANDING, when you call upon your subconscious mind.
The subconscious mind will transform into its physical equivalent, by the most
direct and practical media available, any order which is given to it in a state of
BELIEF, or FAITH that the order will be carried out.
17
Here is a most significant factthe subconscious mind takes any orders given it
in a spirit of absolute FAITH, and acts upon those orders, although the orders often
have to be presented over and over again, through repetition, before they are
interpreted by the subconscious mind. Following the preceding statement, consider the
possibility of playing a perfectly legitimate trick on your subconscious mind, by making
it believe, because you believe it, that you must have the amount of money you are
visualizing, that this money is already awaiting your claim, that the subconscious mind
MUST hand over to you practical plans for acquiring the money which is yours.
18
Hand over the thought suggested in the preceding paragraph to your
IMAGINATION, and see what your imagination can, or will do, to create practical plans
for the accumulation of money through transformation of your desire.
19
DO NOT WAIT for a definite plan, through which you intend to exchange services
or merchandise in return for the money you are visualizing, but begin at once to see
yourself in possession of the money, DEMANDING and EXPECTING meanwhile, that
your subconscious mind will hand over the plan, or plans you need. Be on the alert for
these plans, and when they appear, put them into ACTION IMMEDIATELY.
20
When the plans appear, they will probably flash into your mind through the sixth
sense, in the form of an inspiration. This inspiration may be considered a direct
telegram, or message from Infinite Intelligence. Treat it with respect, and act upon it
as soon as you receive it. Failure to do this will be FATAL to your success.
21
In the fourth of the six steps, you were instructed to Create a definite plan for
carrying out your desire, and begin at once to put this plan into action. You should
follow this instruction in the manner described in the preceding paragraph. Do not trust
to your reason when creating your plan for accumulating money through the
transformation of desire. Your reason is faulty. Moreover, your reasoning faculty may
be lazy, and, if you depend entirely upon it to serve you, it may disappoint you.

22
When visualizing the money you intend to accumulate, (with closed eyes), see
yourself rendering the service, or delivering the merchandise you intend to give in return
for this money. This is important!
SUMMARY OF INSTRUCTIONS
23
The fact that you are reading this book is an indication that you earnestly seek
knowledge. It is also an indication that you are a student of this subject. If you are only
a student, there is a chance that you may learn much that you did not know, but you will
learn only by assuming an attitude of humility. If you choose to follow some of the
instructions but neglect, or refuse to follow othersyou will fail! To get satisfactory
results, you must follow ALL instructions in a spirit of FAITH.
24
The instructions given in connection with the six steps in the second chapter will
now be summarized, and blended with the principles covered by this chapter, as
follows:
First.

Go into some quiet spot (preferably in bed at night) where you will not be
disturbed or interrupted, close your eyes, and repeat aloud, (so you may
hear your own words) the written statement of the amount of money you
intend to accumulate, the time limit for its accumulation, and a description
of the service or merchandise you intend to give in return for the money.
As you carry out these instructions, SEE YOURSELF ALREADY IN
POSSESSION OF THE MONEY.

I would add FEEL the way you will feel when you are in possession of the money you
desire.
Notice the liberal use of the imagination in this technique.
For example: Suppose that you intend to accumulate $50,000 by the first
of January, five years hence, that you intend to give personal services in
return for the money, in the Capacity of a salesman. Your written
statement of your purpose should be similar to the following:
By the first day of January, 19.., I will have in my possession $50,000,
which will come to me in various amounts from time to time during the
interim.
In return for this money I will give the most efficient service of which I am
capable, rendering the fullest possible quantity, and the best possible
quality of service in the capacity of salesman of (describe the service or
merchandise you intend to sell).
I believe that I will have this money in my possession. My faith is so
strong that I can now see this money before my eyes. I can touch it with

my hands. It is now awaiting transfer to me at the time, and in the


proportion that I deliver the service I intend to render in return for it. I am
awaiting a plan by which to accumulate this money, and I will follow that
plan, when it is received.
Second. Repeat this program night and morning until you can see, (in your
imagination) the money you intend to accumulate.
Third.

Place a written copy of your statement where you can see it night and
morning, and read it just before retiring, and upon arising until it has been
memorized.

Heres where you can create your own autosuggestion statement. I recommend you
start with Napoleon Hills statement as a starting point, but remember, its just an
example. As you read your statement, you will come up with ideas for improving it for
your personal situation.
This is one of the most important instructions given in Think and Grow Rich. If you do
not follow these to the letter, you are not following Andrew Carnegies formula as
described by Napoleon Hill.

25
Remember, as you carry out these instructions, that you are applying the
principle of autosuggestion, for the purpose of giving orders to your subconscious mind.
Remember, also, that your subconscious mind will act ONLY upon instructions which
are emotionalized, and handed over to it with feeling. FAITH is the strongest, and
most productive of the emotions. Follow the instructions given in the chapter on FAITH.
26
These instructions may, at first, seem abstract. Do not let this disturb you.
Follow the instructions, no matter how abstract or impractical they may, at first, appear
to be. The time will soon come, if you do as you have been instructed, in spirit as well
as in act, when a whole new universe of power will unfold to you.
27
Skepticism, in connection with ALL new ideas, is characteristic of all human
beings. But if you follow the instructions outlined, your skepticism will soon be replaced
by belief, and this, in turn, will soon become crystallized into ABSOLUTE FAITH. Then
you will have arrived at the point where you may truly say, I am the master of my fate, I
am the captain of my soul!
28
Many philosophers have made the statement, that man is the master of his own
earthly destiny, but most of them have failed to say why he is the master. The reason
that man may be the master of his own earthly status, and especially his financial
status, is thoroughly explained in this chapter. Man may become the master of
himself, and of his environment, because he has the POWER TO INFLUENCE HIS
OWN SUBCONSCIOUS MIND, and through it, gain the cooperation of Infinite
Intelligence.
29
You are now reading the chapter which represents the keystone to the arch
of this philosophy. The instructions contained in this chapter must be understood and
APPLIED WITH PERSISTENCE, if you succeed in transforming desire into money.
In order to make certain it is clear what Napoleon means by this, here is the definition of
keystone from Wikipedia:
A keystone is the wedge-shaped stone piece at the apex of a masonry
vault or arch, which is the final piece placed during construction and locks
all the stones into position, allowing the arch to bear weight.
The term is used figuratively to refer to the central supporting element of a
larger structure, such as a theory or an organization, without which the
whole structure would collapse.
So autosuggestion is the principle without which the Think and Grow Rich philosophy
would not be effective. In fact, in my own experience, I cant think of a single instance
where I have achieved a major goal without deliberately using the principle of
autosuggestion.

And I can think of several instances where I corrected my results when I increased my
use of autosuggestion.
Soanytime you find yourself struggling to achieve a goal, thats the time to review and
increase your use of the principle of autosuggestion.
Remember the principle of autosuggestion is bigger and broader than just the use of
affirmations. Be creative. Look for several ways to positively influence your
subconscious mind.
30
The actual performance of transforming DESIRE into money, involves the use of
self-suggestion as an agency by which one may reach, and influence, the subconscious
mind. The other principles are simply tools with which to apply autosuggestion.
Keep this thought in mind, and you will, at all times, be conscious of the important part
the principle of autosuggestion is to play in your efforts to accumulate money through
the methods described in this book.
31
Carry out these instructions as though you were a small child. Inject into your
efforts something of the FAITH of a child. The author has been most careful, to see that
no impractical instructions were included, because of his sincere desire to be helpful.
32
After you have read the entire book, come back to this chapter, and follow in
spirit, and in action, this instruction:
33
READ THE ENTIRE CHAPTER ALOUD ONCE EVERY NIGHT, UNTIL YOU
BECOME
THOROUGHLY
CONVINCED
THAT
THE
PRINCIPLE
OF
AUTOSUGGESTION IS SOUND, THAT IT WILL ACCOMPLISH FOR YOU ALL THAT
HAS BEEN CLAIMED FOR IT. AS YOU READ, UNDERSCORE WITH A PENCIL
EVERY SENTENCE WHICH IMPRESSES YOU FAVORABLY.
34
Follow the foregoing instruction to the letter, and it will open the way for a
complete understanding, and mastery of the principles of success.

What have you learned about autosuggestion in this chapter? Why do you think the
principle of autosuggestion is critical to the Think and Grow Rich philosophy? What
actions are you going to make the use of autosuggestion a habit?

Here is the List Of My 488 Power Affirmations


I believe you are going to find this list of affirmations to be extremely valuable. It
took me years of study and thought to create it. I went through dozens of books
(including Think and Grow Rich), audio programs, and seminars of source
material to identify the ideas that I personally wanted to master. Then I
translated those ideas into this list of Power Affirmations.
5 Easy Steps to Using My List of 488 Power Affirmations
I know that 488 may seem like an overwhelming amount of affirmations, but the
trick is to pick only the ones that resonate with you at any one particular period of
time.
I suggest these 5 steps to get the most out of these affirmations:
1. Read through the entire list and identify the affirmations you want to focus
on. If you are doing them manually, I'd focus on only 5 to 10 at a time. If
you decide to use my recordings you can choose more. Follow your
intuition. Pick the affirmations that resonate the most to you.
2. Write out the affirmations on small index cards that you can carry with
you. Review them often.
3. While standing in front of a mirror, repeat the affirmations out loud about
50 times each morning when you get up and another 50 times just before
you go to bed. As you repeat the affirmations, in your imagination, begin
to see what you desire as a completed fact. And add a feeling of
enthusiasm as you read the affirmation.
4. Once or twice a day, sit down and write out each of the affirmations you are
working on 10 to 20 times.
5. Create small posters for yourself using a program such as MS Word or
PowerPoint on a regular letter size piece of paper. Use one page per
affirmation and type it in large letters. Post it where you will see it several
times per day.
The principle you are using is repetition of positive thought. The idea is
to get as many repetitions/impressions as possible in order to turn these
thoughts into your normal thought habits. I like to think of this as creating a
saturation marketing campaign to your subconscious mind.
