“An affirmation is a strong, positive statement that something is already so.” – Shakti Gawain
Affirmations are dynamic statements that are designed to align your mindset with what is true at a spiritual level. If they were not real, then you could not have even considered the possibility. Affirmations don’t change the mind of the Universe to give you something you don’t already have. They work to change your mind to accept what the Universe has already given you.

The subconscious always is working. You may not be getting the outcome that you want, but that’s not the fault of the subconscious. It’s only doing and giving you what you’ve programmed into it in the past or present. The subconscious has rules, principles, and ways that it functions. And just as with federal law, “Ignorance of the law is no excuse.” Just because you don’t know what those rules are or choose not to follow them doesn’t mean you’re excluded from their effect. To get positive results, focus exclusively on what you want for a couple of minutes, twice a day. Imagine that it’s happening, feel its reality, and take action towards it.

“My path is illumined with direction, wisdom, and understanding. Each step leads me to the next, and my way is made clear. All that I encounter along the way contributes to my good.”
There are times when you may feel like you’re hitting a brick wall, not getting anywhere, and get discouraged. That’s when you most need to declare what you want, even if it’s just to be led in the right direction, wherever that may be. By giving the subconscious specific instructions, it will prompt it to open a way for you around, through or over that brick wall.

Have you gotten stuck in a comfort zone? If so, this doesn’t help you to evolve, progress or improve your life. If you’re completely comfortable where you are, you need to do something that pushes you. There’s an old saying, “If always do what always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” Life is expansion, change and if you don’t choose it willingly, Life has a habit of thrusting it on you. Step out and do something that makes you uncomfortable, like asking for some help, take a class in something you’re interested in, make that extra phone call you’ve been dreading. By expanding your comfort zone by just a bit, you’re attracting more good to you.

Be careful what you say when you use, “I am…” Such as “I’m sick” or “I’m angry,” or “I’m feeling upset.” Whatever you say after “I am,” you’re identifying yourself with. In other words, you are claiming it as something you choose to have in your life. When you want to state how you’re feeling, you can say something like, “I feel…” This lets your subconscious know that it’s transitory, not a permanent state for you. Be aware of what you’re pairing with “I am..” and find another way to state it that recognizes that it’s not permanent condition, but rather a situation that you’re dealing with.

“The Light of God guides me through the byways of my life. I am Divinely directed in all that I say, do and think. Only good flows from me and only good returns to me.”
When I ask for Divine Guidance to speak through me, the things I say might not be what I’d intended to say, but they’re usually what was appropriate and needed in that situation. When you open to guidance, you’ll probably notice that your life flows more easily. You won’t be as concerned about what you should be saying or doing, which smooths the way, allowing more good to slide into your life.

Money is a simply a tool. It’s not evil or power, as some people believe. It does what you instruct it to do for you. If a person wants it to make them powerful, then their desire for power will drive them to use any of their resources, including money, to control others. If they didn’t have money, then they’d use whatever they could to the same end, such as guilt, emotional blackmail, strength, or manipulation. Money isn’t the instigator, the intention of the individual is. When you want money to give you ease and the comforts of life, then that is your purpose and that is what you will use money for.

“A positive attitude is like a fire. Unless you continue to add fuel, it goes out.” – Alexander Lockhart
You can’t remain positive in a void. If you try to coast on your attitude, it will falter. In the face of our negative world, you need to read encouraging literature, be around uplifting people, and minimize your exposure to negative news. It’s too easy to be dragged down by the worlds (and other people’s) pessimistic perspectives. Keep feeding your optimism, in any way you can.
~ Linda-Ann Stewart
Some people vilify the subconscious, comparing it to the devil, because they feel it brings only bad things to them. What they don’t realize is that it’s also allowed all the good experiences that they’ve had. The subconscious only brings into their lives what they’ve programmed it to do by directed thoughts or the average of their ideas. The subconscious can’t initiate anything. It can only do what you tell it to do. So if you have something in your life that you don’t want, it’s because somehow you’ve conditioned your subconscious to create it. The good news is that you can change that thought. The bad news is that it takes determination, consistency and persistence to do so. But it can be done.

“I am always being guided by the Mind of God. I now open my awareness to listen for and hear the inspiration of Spirit. I am now directed along the path of my Highest Good.”
You’re always being guided. The trick is to listen to and hear that guidance. When you do, you may be directed into paths that wouldn’t necessarily be ones you’d choose. But be open, and see where it leads. It might surprise you.
