Instead of just saying affirmations, become them by aligning your actions with what you claim. Pick one powerful affirmation and focus on it completely, using emotionally charged statements to counteract fear and procrastination when they hit.
I'm the most motivational, inspirational person in the world. I can motivate, I can inspire, I can lift up anybody, anytime, anywhere. I can do that. But you— so you do the affirmations, right? I'm not saying don't do that. Yes, I am saying don't do the affirmation. Don't do the affirmation. I don't want you to do the affirmation because I want you to become the affirmation. I want you to put the affirmation on. Doing the affirmation ain't gonna do you no good. Because if you do the affirmation, eventually it gets to the point where you did the affirmation. I did my affirmations this morning. Like you do the affirmation in the mirror in the morning. I am peaceful. I am love. I am joy. But then you get in traffic and be frustrated. You get to work and be aggravated and be mad. So I don't want you to do the affirmation and be what you've been being. I want you to become the affirmation and let that stuff that you used to do become stuff that you did. Does that make sense? I hope so. But become the affirmation. I don't want you running through 80,000 different affirmations, shooting affirmations all over the place. I want you to concentrate your creative efforts because make no mistake, you are a powerful, unlimited creator. But when you spread your attention so thin, you're trying to create so many things at once, even when you open the Bible Look at it. God created one thing at a time. God created in layers, and he didn't move on to the next thing until he noticed that the first thing he was working on was good. There was— even when God was creating from the beginning, there was order in the creation. There was priorities. He didn't create Adam and then create somewhere for Adam to exist. He created somewhere for Adam to exist and then created Adam. Imagine if he created Adam before he created the sun. Adam would have been Adam might have had a hard time trusting God. Like, God, you just dropped me in a dark room, man. What am I doing? God created one thing at a time, and it was ordered to the manifestation. It was thought into the manifestation. For finding the affirmations, just say the opposite of the negative we've been saying if it moves you emotionally. So the key to affirmation is the affirmation has to change how you feel. If it doesn't change how you feel, it's not going to change how you act. The reason what you don't want can paralyze you and cause you to procrastinate and cause you not to take action is because it's energized emotionally. You imagining what's going to happen if it don't work. You're under the influence of all the bad that's going to happen if, if, if, if you remain here. So that causes you to sit still. So what's going to cause you to stop moving is we need a movement in the opposite direction at least that big, if not bigger. So what's in the opposite direction that moves you emotionally?
