#27 Affirmations

Many people have scripted our self-talk, and the good news is we can re-script it. An affirmation is a statement of fact or belief (positive or negative) that will lead toward the end result you expect.  

Reprogram Your Mind

When feeding our minds positive affirmations the programming in our minds changes. Michael Phelps talks of this when he "goes to the video" each morning as he prepares to train.  Professional athletes and business people have used the technique of affirmations for years to increase their performance and success.

Here are some examples of affirmations created by Robert Egby, as well as some I've created myself.  Have fun creating some of your own.  These will get you started.  In the meantime, good luck, and remember, think well, and be well. I'm curious to see which one you will choose for yourself today.   Tomorrow, expect it to be different. (HINT:  Jump to the bottom of the list for a great book tip that will help you to go even deeper with affirmations.)
