Affirmations are a useful method of "programming" your mind to act in a particular way.

These affirmations collected from a number of sources can be spoken aloud to your mirror reflection, printed on index cards and carried with you during the day, written in your journal or scrawled across the bathroom mirror with red lipstick. They can even be shouted from the rooftops if your are feeling particularly jubilant.

You must visualize what it is you want more than anything, affirm your belief in your abilities and take one small step after another to make your image of yourself and your reality match.

Make it part of your daily ritual to begin each morning with an affirmation and again before you sleep.
These affirmations are powerful messages to the universe about your intent.

Say it, believe it and you can be it.

"Words -- so innocent and powerless as they are,
as standing in a dictionary,
how potent for good and evil they become
in the hands of one who knows how to combine them." -- Nathaniel Hawthorne
