Prosperity Affirmations

By Jeri Atleson

One of the most effective ways to develop a positive attitude is through the practice of positive affirmations. What are positive affirmations? Positive affirmations are positive statements that are written in the first person, in the present, and are specific. Positive affirmations are retraining your subconscious mind to look and think positively at something rather than approaching something with a negative attitude. There have been many books written about positive affirmations as well as many audio books and seminars.

There are numerous ways to develop a positive attitude, and positive affirmations are one very effective method. Some experts suggest one of these ways to develop a positive attitude is to start your positive affirmations in front of a mirror. The following rules of thumb are helpful in putting your positive affirmations into use:

Some experts advise writing or typing out their affirmations up to 20 times per day.

A response column next to each affirmation my help get rid of any lingering negative thoughts - for every negative write the opposite in the positive form.

Write in the first person (I will create wealth).

Search out motivational/inspirational material to reaffirm your positive affirmations on a daily basis.

Consider stating your affirmations in front of a mirror or taping them to your mirror.

Vocalizing, actually speaking your affirmations engages more than one sense and makes more of an impact (see and hear them).

Affirmations must make a positive statement (I will create wealth).

Use your own name, as affirmations are more effective when you include your name.

Affirmations be written in the present tense - don't think of what you don't have today, think of yourself as already having these things today. Use words like "now" in your affirmations.

Affirmation need to be specific

Be in the present - don't think of what you don't have today, think of yourself as already having these things. Use words like "now" in your affirmations.

Affirmations are one of the ways to develop a positive attitude. The key is to choose to see things more positively, to engage in behaviors that will help you stay on the positive attitude track, and to believe that you are deserving of good things.

The more grateful I am, the more reasons I find to be grateful.
I am a success in all that I do.
Everything I touch returns riches to me.
I am always productive.
My work is always recognized positively.
I respect my abilities and always work to my full potential.
I am constantly adding to my income.
I always spend money wisely.
A always have enough money for all that I need.
I am rewarded for all the work I do.
I am attracting infinite wealth and unlimited abundance.
I have unlimited abundance.
Wealth is pouring into my life.

With the rise in credit card debt in America, many people are searching for 'get out of debt' affirmations.

I think it's a bad idea to set "get out of debt" affirmations, because by doing so you will be focusing on the debt instead of creating wealth or attracting prosperity into your life.

So instead of setting get out of debt affirmations, set some wealth and prosperity affirmations like the ones listed earlier on this page.

Remember, affirmations should be positive not negative. So if getting out of debt is one of your goals, focus on how you can attract wealth and money into your life to pay off the debt instead of focusing on the debt itself.

I am at peace with the Universe
I love and accept myself.
I am safe and always feel protected.
I am surrounded with loving, caring people in my life.
I trust my inner being to lead me in the right path.
My inner vision is always clear and focused.
I am whole and perfect as God created me.
I have infinite worth and unlimited potential.
I attract positive people into my life.

I have several of Catherine Ponder's books and recommend them highly. Her books are very enlightening and uplifting.

Here are a few affirmations from her book Dynamic Laws of Prosperity:

My prosperity is unlimited. My success is unlimited NOW.
I NOW bless everyone, everything, and every situation in my life NOW, as good, good, and very good.
I AM surrounded by divine substance and this divine substance NOW manifests for me in rich appropriate form.
Everything and everbody prospers me NOW and I prosper everything and everybody NOW.
I love the highest and best in all people and I NOW draw the highest, best, and most prosperous minded people to me.
I expect lavish abundance every day in every way in my life and affairs.
I rejoice that I AM successful in all ways.
I give thanks that I AM NOW rich, well and happy.

I am the perfect weight for me.
I have abundant energy, vitality and well-being.
I am healthy in all aspects of my being.
I am always able to maintain my ideal weight.
I am filled with energy to do all the daily activities in my life.
I am fit, healthy and full of energy.

I am free to be myself.
I am a forgiving and loving person.
I am responsible for my own Spiritual Growth.
I have given myself permission to be at one with the Universe.
My strength comes from forgiveness of those who hurt me.
I am worthy of love.
The more I love, the more that love is returned to me.
Love is eternal and ever-lasting.
I am responsible for my life and always maintain the power I need to be positive and have joy.
I know God has a purpose for me everyday. I will look for His guidance, and lean on His strength.
I am attracting divine people and healthy, loving relationships.
My inner vision is always clear and focused.

I've been saying affirmations for years, but recently a prosperity teacher told me I should be writing my affirmations instead of just saying them out loud.

The process of writing the affirmations down on paper include more of your senses and allow you to feel the affirmation more powerfully.

This prosperity teacher also said it's important to hand write the affirmations instead of typing them on your computer. Again, it's about engaging your senses, and something about actually writing the affirmation by hand is more powerful than typing it into a computer.

Of course, the repetition is helpful as well as stating or writing your affirmations over and over again makes them more powerful.

So I tried writing my affirmations down instead of just saying them out loud, and I can already see a difference. By writing the affirmations down I'm taking more time to really think about the affirmations and let them sink in to my subconscious. I've also seen more gifts and positive things manifest in my life, and at a faster pace.

So, while there's nothing wrong with saying affirmations, if you haven't tried writing them out by hand yet, you should give it a try. You might be really surprised by the results.
