7 Best Ways To Make Affirmations Work For You

I have written about the transformative power of positive affirmation, and yet all around us are what I call “affirmers” who are people who enthusiastically repeat inspiring words but rarely take meaningful action to bring them to life. It’s one thing to speak affirmations; it’s another to integrate them into your daily habits, decisions, and mindset in a way that truly transforms your life.

You might wonder why this happens. The answer is simple: there is more to affirmations than simply repeating them. For positive affirmations to truly work, they must be implemented and integrated into your life.

When you develop this habit, you become adept at learning new behaviours and embracing new ways of life. You will no longer struggle to act on the positive statements you read in one or two posts. You will confidently live by your personal mantras, excited to try out new habits, skills, and affirmations you have committed to practicing. You will be living your best life.

Affirmations are useless if all you do is “Just Affirm”

Below are 7 interesting habits that helps you feel the power of positive affirmations.

1. Believe your affirmation: To make your affirmation work, you have to believe and have faith in it. You can’t work towards what you don’t believe in. “I am Beautiful and Extraordinary” Believe it and have faith in it.
2. Form a habit with your Affirmations:  Just like you eat and drink water, make your affirmations or faithful proclamations a do or die affair… Also, practice it before going to bed so it would be registered in your subconscious mind.
3. Feel the power in the affirmation: Let it become a rhema in your spirit. There are affirmations I come across that send cold shivers down my spine, words that speak directly to me, igniting an immediate sense of purpose and action. When this happens, you don’t just read it; you feel it in every fiber of your being. Let yourself experience that affirmation fully—it has the power to move you forward.
4. Repeat the affirmation: A quote by Muhammed Ali says, It is the repetition of affirmations that lead to belief and once the belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen. So the simple trick is to repeat it every minute. Repeat it to someone’s ears. Write it out! Share it with a friend…  Tell people around, and bring it into the middle of the conversation. Let them know it and see you in that regard. Repeat it to everyone who cares to listen. With time, you would get used to it as a result of so much repetition. Above all, people around you would really see it in you. And then you would start seeing yourself manifest in your affirmations.
5. Commitment and Action. This is where the rubber hits the road. It gets really tough and tricky to implement an affirmation and a belief system. For you to truly show that you believe it, you must do it and be committed to it. If your affirmation is “I love myself and would do everything I can to be fit and healthy”. Then always make sure you practice all the habits that show that you love yourself – Visit the gym, Take a walk, Eat healthy and remain fit. If your affirmation is to have a slim body, be committed, and take action to do some exercise. As I said, don’t just say it; you must do it to show your commitment and that you truly believe in it.
6. Regularly Affirm in God:  Robin Meadows wrote about his journey on affirmation (you can access it here. He said, these were my self affirmation. From his journey, I realized that most times we do not invite God to work on us to fulfil his entire plan & purpose for us. The truth is that whenever we continue depending on our efforts and ‘macho’ strengths to make affirmations work in our daily lives. We may stumble, fail and get tired as opposed to when we affirm in God.

7. Share the Affirmation:  Sharing your affirmations with people and how it has really helped you to live your best life is a great way to implement an affirmation. What this does is to keep you on your toes. It helps you to look up to yourself.

When you share an affirmation, it doubles the chances of it being implemented over a long time. I have shared a lot of my affirmations here. In my case, some are what I read… Others flew in naturally when I didn’t even expect it. I have achieved so much with positive affirmations, So do not just affirm and… Wow!  Do more! Feel it, repeat it, make it a habit, believe in your affirmation, regularly invite God into your affirmations, and do everything in your power to commit to implementing that affirmation.

Finally, share with the next person close to you! You would really achieve great results.

Always remember this:

You must not be a writer or a speaker to share what you have learned.

When a post inspires you, when my post inspires you, It is ideal and never hurts to share with your friends on social media. 

Drop your comments and share if you got value.
