Affirmations can have a significant impact on personal devleopment and improvement. Best of all, they're easy to use and easy to tailor to your own needs and goals.

Make a list of five to ten phrases or short sentences related to areas of your life you wish to improve. Keep each phrase positive and in the present tense. For example, try to word your affirmations using phrases that begin with "I am", such as "I am overflowing with creativity" or "I am healthy and full of energy."

Avoid using phrases that contain the negative words "not" or "won't". Instead of phrasing an affirmation using negative wording like "I won't eat foods that are bad for me", try using positive present-tense phrases like "I eat healthy foods and feel energized."

Write down your affirmations and try to commit them to memory. It's perfectly okay if you can't remember them all at once. Read your list of affirmations prior to each listening session, then during the session repeat them in your mind. If you can't remember them all at first, repeat as many as you can remember. You'll find over time you're able to remember the full list.

After a period of time, you can change your affirmations and begin using new ones, but you should continue to use the same affirmations for at least three to four weeks or longer before shifting to new affirmations.

We recommend that this technique be used in conjunction with the Insight CD for relaxation, stress reduction, deep meditation, and many other benefits.
