Speaking It Into Existence: Using Affirmations to Manifest Your Goals

According to the Law of Attraction, keeping our thoughts, words, and mindset in alignment with our goals accounts for a third of our full manifesting potential. Translation? If you’re stuck in a constant loop of doom, gloom, and self-doubt, don’t expect to be able to manifest your goals anytime soon!

The thoughts you preoccupy yourself with and the words you speak all carry energetic vibrations that influence your reality. One way you can help to bring them into alignment with your goals is with the use of affirmations. More than just positive, feel-good statements, affirmations work as energetic declarations that help to speak your goals into existence. 

1/ How to Craft Your Affirmations

The key to using affirmations effectively lies in their structure. A well-crafted affirmation is simple yet specific, positive, and written in the present tense. It’s also important to avoid using words like “not” or “never” to ensure that our words are focused solely on what we want, not what we don’t want. 

For example, instead of saying, “I AM never going to work at a dead-end job again ,” say, “I AM worthy of a career that challenges and excites me.” The second example carries with it a more powerful, positive energy and helps you to operate on an abundant mindset instead of a more fearful poverty mindset. 

Make your affirmations as specific and clear as possible, as clarity will help to elevate its power. For example, instead of “I AM happy”, write out what “being happy” would look like for you, such as “I AM spending at least five hours of quality time with my family each week”.

2/ Speak With Intent and Belief

To truly manifest your goals, it’s not enough to simply recite your affirmations from memory; you have to mean them! Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and truly feel the intention behind your words as you speak them aloud. Take a few moments to quietly visualize yourself achieving your goals and living your dream life and remember that the more vivid the imagery, the stronger the manifestation. 

3/ Your Affirmation Ritual

Think of affirmations as weight-training for your spirit - the more you use them, the stronger your manifestation powers will be. Speak your affirmations in the morning to help set the tone for the day before you. Similarly, speak your affirmations before bed to reinforce the energy you’ve aligned with during the day.

Consider creating a sacred space in your home, such as one of your four Personal Directions, where you can speak your affirmations. Activate this area with objects that inspire you such as meaningful photos, crystals, or your Diamond Vision Board. When you speak your affirmations in this space, the energy you create becomes even more potent.

4/ Trust the Timing of the Universe

As powerful as affirmations are, remember that manifestations rarely happen overnight. Sometimes the Universe has to align everything perfectly before your goals begin to fall in line. Trust in the process and keep your eyes open to opportunities that reveal themselves in unexpected ways. Remember, the life you dream of is well within your reach, and it begins with the words you choose to speak today.
