Introduction

It is too often we over-work ourselves to please others without taking quality time to focus on ourselves and our personal well-being. Life can be a rollercoaster, but regardless of what the agenda brings for the day, week, month or year it is crucial to take part in self-love. We all need reminders now and then about how great and truly capable we are of achieving all of our dreams and desires in life. The best thing we can do to improve our state of mind is to partake in daily reminders. By harnessing the power of positive thinking we can begin to grant ourselves a happy, fulfilling life, attracting all that we yearn for. We cannot be our greatest version if we haven’t served ourselves first, this book is your guide for that. It’s time to Love the Sh!t out of Yourself!

I want this book to be your new best friend. It is here to remind you that you are pretty darn great on a daily basis for as long as it takes. I’ve learned to remind myself of this, and you know what? It feels pretty darn great! It is even kind of addictive in the best possible way. While this might seem like a fluffy little exercise, it runs quite deep and will serve you for the rest of your life. Are you ready to live your dream life? Well, this book is the perfect place to start.

If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed and drained by the bustling of life, it is time to stop in your tracks and do an attitude adjustment, or more specifically a “gratitude adjustment.” Whenever you find yourself at an exhaustion or frustration point, recognize it, and remind yourself that you are in need of some “me TLC,” a radical dose of self-care. You need to soak up the glory of your very being and feel grateful for all that you have accomplished in life. In addition to feeling gratitude, it is time to compliment that practice with affirmations.

What are Affirmations and how to they work?

Affirmations are the action or process of affirming something; a powerful form of self-talk. It is important that when practicing affirmations we repeat, focus and visualize what it is we wish to receive. Affirmations help our conscious brain communicate with our subconscious brain. By using feeling-provoking words within our affirmations such as: love, happiness, abundance, etc. we are imprinting emotions. By attaching feelings to our affirmations such as “happiness” we are communicating with the subconscious brain and letting it know we enjoy the feeling of happiness and wish to attract more of it into our lives. The more we practice affirmations the sooner our dreams and desires will come to us. It won’t take long before you come to realize how powerful your mind is, and how abundant this practice can really prove to be.

How often should I use them?

Affirmations should be as used as often as possible. Whether this be reciting them in the morning first thing when you get up, thinking them in your head while you brush your teeth or writing them out before bed, use them daily.

How fast will they work?

Affirmations can work instantly or over a long period of time, it all depends on your focus and consistency with the practice. After dedicating yourself to your affirmations you will begin to notice the benefits such as a more positive mindset, the attraction of specific people and events into your life and the achievement of your goals. Once you begin to notice this and are pleased with the results you will obtain a gratitude mindset. A grateful mindset is your way of letting the Universe know you are so happy to have received everything you have in life, and you are looking forward to receiving more. The more grateful you are, the faster affirmations work. So get dedicated to loving yourself and your life!

Are you ready?

Go get em goal-digger!

The Art of Self-Affirmation: How to Use this Book

Step One:

Get rid of all limiting beliefs. Limiting beliefs are those thoughts and barriers in your mind that make you believe you cannot achieve something or do not deserve something. It is time to stop sabotaging yourself. You were given this precious thing called life with this specific body and mind so it is time to become your own best friend, your own cheerleader and make this life an outrageously positive experience. You were born a star now start shining like one; literally, you’re made up of atoms from exploded debris in the universe. You’re creative, infinite, intelligent and beautiful beyond measure; you’re stardust.

Step Two:

Ask yourself, “How are you feeling today?” If the answer is positive then great this book will be a booster shot in word form! However; if you are feeling negative or have any red-flagged, limiting thoughts, you have come to the right place. You need to be the energy you wish to attract in this world, so whatever area you are feeling a lack in, pinpoint it and look to Step Three for guidance.

Step Three:

On the following pages you will find a pep talk followed by 10 affirmations on various subjects. Choose a subcategory to help bring you back to a positive mind state or amplify an area in your life where you wish to achieve more.

If you’re feeling spontaneous or looking for a sign, randomly open to an affirmation and let those words be your guiding thought for the day. If you are REALLY resonating to this power-thought, keep using it every day and let it become your mantra. The more you practice affirmations the sooner they will become your reality. Use these powerful words for ideas in speeches, on your bulletin board, in your email signature, or on your social media, the more you see them, the better. If you are getting ready to do a presentation, a sales pitch, an interview for your dream job, record a YouTube video or any other important task, this affirmation can be the wind in your sails.
