31 Life Mastery Affirmations

Introduction

An affirmation is a statement or declaration that describes an intention to be, do, or have something. Affirmations have become quite common in the “new thought” and “new age” movements as mechanisms for encouraging positive thinking and personal empowerment. When used in conjunction with the “Law of Attraction”, affirmations are believed to increase the likelihood of manifesting in one’s reality what one truly desires.

What is an Effective Affirmation?

I personally have been using affirmations for many years, and I’ve found them to be quite effective when I’ve used them properly. Of course, “properly” is a subjective term, so let me explain what I mean. In order for an affirmation to be effective, it must meet three criteria:

1. It must resonate on some level—even if the content of the affirmation is not currently true, it must resonate as something that you truly desire in your life.
2. It must be constructed using only positive language—that is, eliminating all references to anything that might be construed as negative.
3. It must be written in present tense, rather than future tense. The intention is to manifest something right now—not at some arbitrary or nebulous time down the road.
4. The Life Mastery Affirmation Difference. In my own practice with affirmations, I’ve found that one additional criterion really helps to amplify their power: starting each one with the two words I am. I’ve learned that these two tiny words are actually the most powerful words in the universe, as they represent a declaration of who I am choosing to be in any given moment. If you can accept that you are indeed choosing who you are in any given moment, then it is only a small step to understand that you can make that choice 100% consciously, and your I am affirmation can help you to paint that picture very clearly.

When affirmations are constructed to meet all four of these criteria, they simply vibrate with power and amplify the outcomes that you are trying to create. For this reason, I call them “Life Mastery Affirmations”.

Getting the Most out of an Affirmation

Affirmations get a bad rap from some people as being ineffective. Some of this can be attributed to poor affirmation construction, but the biggest reason affirmations don’t work is that people simply don’t create the time or the space to really embrace them. It is important to find a safe and sacred space where you can recite the affirmation repeatedly without being disturbed or distracted.

I like to include my affirmation as part of my meditation process. For a 25-minute meditation, I’ll spend the first 10 minutes or so reciting my affirmation, and then allow myself to go silent and just allow the affirmation to reverberate through my body. During the silent phase, I try to stay present with my breathing, and when thoughts rise up, I simply observe them and allow them to pass through me. At the end of my meditation, I spend a few minutes journaling my experience—paying particular attention to any resistance I may have with respect to the affirmation.

I find that meditation is significantly easier—and deeper—when I have some high-quality music to listen to as I’m meditating. If you are interested, you can find some excellent brainwave entrainment meditation music on my website at https://LifeMasteryMusic.com.
