Positive Affirmations
I have been using positive affirmations for years now, and share with you some tips that have helped me to become more positive.
One might be thinking, why call them positive affirmations. Aren't affirmations suppose to be positive. Yes, the best kind are. Actually an affirmation is something that one affirms, whether it is positive or not. So its best to use the ones that feel good.
How to make positive affirmations
Method 1
One is to make a list of things you want to eliminate from your thinking. Then go back and on a separate sheet of paper, rephrase each item on your elimination list into a positive statement.
For instance, say an item on the eliminate list is: negative thinking. So on your new sheet of paper, you could re-word that to: I now choose to think positive thoughts. Your mind may come up with a bunch of arguments as to why you don't already think positive thoughts.
Time for a new sheet of paper. Write down each one of those arguments, followed by your new positive affirmation. It will probably look something like this:
I choose to think positive thoughts.
Who you?
I choose to think positive thoughts.
You never have before!
I choose to think positive thoughts.
Well maybe.
So do this two step process for at least ten repetitions.
By re-affirming in this way, you are letting your subconscious mind know that you mean business. Also, writing down your new desires is a great way to reinfoce your new message to your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is where all those arguments came from based on past thoughts you thought before.
Make a clean list of your positive affirmations. Then tear up or shred the elimination thoughts, affirming that you now choose to think positive thoughts.

Method 2
It might sound something like this:
"You are beautiful.
You are intelligent.
You have a beautiful smile.
I love you."
After you have a list, re-write the list, replacing the word you with your name. Then stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself those wonderful positive affirmations about yourself.
If any arguing comes up during this, then use the first method listed above on those.
You deserve to feel good about yourself.

Method 3
To begin this method, it is best to be in a place of peace. So at a time when you are feeling peaceful, sit down and think about some things you'd like to have, be, or do. You can pick one type at a time if you'd like, such as just things that you'd like to have. Write them down as you think about them. Continue this process as long as you're feeling peaceful. You're just giving yourself permission to dream.
Once you've done that, then make an appreciation list of the things that you already have, are, are doing. It's good to remind yourself of the things you are already grateful for and have in your life.

Fine Tuning Your Positive Affirmations
Affirmation Tips - 1
If you watched any of the affirmation videos on You Tube, you may have noticed that the affirmations had some things in common.
They were generally short. - It's easier to remember things when they are short, and they can also rhyme.
They are in the present tense. - It is best to give the subconscious mind instructions in the present tense, so that the future that you want will at sometime be your present.
The words used were positive. - Remember the steps about re-writing to rephrase things. If you're wanting to create positive feel goods, then you have to start by programming with with the positive feel goods.

Repetition of Your Positive Affirmations
Affirmation Tips - 2
Sing them - in the shower, the car, etc.
Listen to them - record them and then play them back. Leave enough time between each one that you could also easily repeat them inbetween. Music in the background can also be helpful.
Re-write them - writing them is a slower process that is more readily taken in.
Tell them or sing them to yourself while looking in the mirror.
Daily is good, twice daily can be better. Most self help books recommend a minimum of 21 days straight to make your new positive affirmations be more of a habit. And then continue.
When your positive affirmations become your new beliefs, then what you experience in your outer world will start being a reflection of the new beliefs you've created. Enjoy.

Make positive affirmations a daily part of your life.

Jerry and Esther Hicks on YouTube vids
LAW OF ATTRACTION DIRECTLY FROM SOURCE - Esther & Jerry Hicks
A music video featuring the Non-Physical Source Energy known as Abraham, speaking through Esther Hicks. The music is from the audio CD entitled "Law of Attraction Directly From Source" - available from Abraham-Hicks Publications. Esther & Jerry Hicks are the authors of numerous books based on the Teachings of Abraham and their latest book, "Money and The Law of Attraction", reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. For over 20 years, Esther has translated blocks of thought from "Non-Physical Source Energy" - which she also identifies as her "Inner Being" or "Soul" - and who refer to themselves in the plural as "Abraham" (no relation to the Biblical figure). Esther doesn't use the word "channeling" to describe her process, but understands if others do. For more information, please view our YouTube video entitled "Abraham Explains Who They Are", or go to http://www.abraham-hicks.com and listen to the audio entitled "Introduction To Abraham". NOTE: To watch this video in high quality and stereo, simply click on the HQ button under the screen, or add "&fmt=18" to the end of the URL and refresh the page.
