Can affirmations help me to attract what I want?

Affirmations are like the 9th wonder of the world (with gratitude being the 8th) in my opinion.
The reason I believe this is becuase you do attract what you focus on, and if you’ve written down an affirmation and you’re repeating it to yourself all day, every single day, your focus must shift to that of what you want!
The opposite is also true. We have this negative self talk which shifts our focus to what we don’t want, and we ultimately attract that.
To ensure your affirmations have the most power, you should do the following:

1. Write your affirmation down
2. Ensure your affirmation is written in present tense. So instead of writing “I wish I had a new car”, you instead write “I am so happy and grateful now that I have my new car”
3. Repeat that affirmation in your head and out loud as often as you remember to do it – the more the better!
4. Finally, and most importantly, when you’re reading your affirmation, you need to bring up how it would feel to have already achieved what you want.

This feeling stuff is important, because it brings up the emotions which give your affirmation power. These emotions help you to shift your vibration to a state which is more in line with what you want to achieve.
This can take some practise but it’s well worth doing because you’re going to find that events or people cross your path, all of which are taking you closer to achieving what you want! It’s so totally worth it, so why not give it a go?
