How to Recharge
Your Life with
More Than 500 Affirmations
Now you have read how to use affirmations, when to use affirmations and why to use affirmations. Are you ready to use affirmations? Are you ready to make a change; add something to your life; let go of something in your life?
When you’re ready to make a change, turn to the subject of your intentions and find an affirmation that feels good. If none feel right to you, write one of your own. Remember, you don’t have to believe it. It is something you are going toward. You’re moving in that direction.
Subjects are often interconnected. For example, if you’re seeking to find more love in your life, you might look at resentments, to see what or who is filling your heart with anger or pain. Or look at letting go, to see what you are holding on to that is blocking you from feeling love. There’s an old saying that if you have one foot in the past and one foot in the future, you can’t be in the present moment.
Affirmations for losing weight can be found under addiction, food and weight. A new job affirmation can be found under career or purpose.
If you have the time, it would be wonderful if you could find a quiet place where you won’t be interrupted. Sit quietly and meditate for ten or twenty minutes. Meditation helps you to connect with God, Higher Power, Allah, Jesus, Universal Energy, Divine Guidance or anything you want to call the Power that is greater than ourselves. You can connect with your angels, your spirit guides, or whatever you believe works.
Find an affirmation that feels right for you or rephrase it in any way that makes you most comfortable. The affirmations in the index of this book are simply suggestions. Personalize them in any way you wish. Or write your own!
When you become willing to follow these simple instructions, incredible transformations will begin to occur in your life. Watch for miracles!
Let yourself feeel the power of these affirmations and discover how they can change the way you feel. Discover how they can change your life.
If we believe we are going to change, we are going to change!
