Affirmations Guide

Use this mini guide to learn how to write your own affirmations, use them, and benefit 
from affirmations when it comes to the law of attraction. 


Part One: Using Affirmations

Whether you write your own affirmations or you want to use ones in this guide, or that 
you have found elsewhere, it helps to first know how you are using them.

What are affirmations? These are short phrases or statements that help put you into a 
positive mindset so that you can focus on what you are trying to manifest into your life.


How to Use Affirmations

There are many ways you can use these affirmations, to help you get into the right 
frame of mind, and go through your day with love, confidence, faith, and high vibrations. 
Here are some of the best ideas:

Write them down in your journal – An easy way to use affirmations every day is to 
write them down in your journal. You can write one down each day before you start 
journaling as your topic of focus for that day, or come up with a few different affirmations 
that apply to what you are trying to manifest.

Put a sticky note on your mirror – If you want to be reminded of your affirmation 
throughout the day, write it down on a sticky note, and put it on a mirror in your 
bathroom. It should be in a place where you will see it often, so you can put it anywhere, 
including on your fridge door or even the top of your computer screen. Every time you 
see it, read it out loud or to yourself, and really feel what it says.

Do mirror work – An alternative to just saying it to yourself when you see the note, is 
actually using it for mirror work. This is when you look at your reflection in the mirror 
while saying the affirmation to yourself. This can be a really powerful law of attraction 
method.

Say them to yourself throughout the day – If you have short affirmations that are 
easy to remember, you can try saying them to yourself throughout your day whenever 
you need to be reminded of it.

Use affirmations during visualization – Another great option is during meditation or 
visualization. Choose affirmations that help get you into that zone where you are 
focusing on and feeling your manifestation.


When to Use Affirmations

There is no right or wrong way to use affirmations. You can use them at any time, 
choosing ones that fit your mood or will boost your confidence. But, here are some tips 
for choosing when to use different types of affirmations. 

When your vibration is low. If you have been feeling down, with negative feelings, and 
like you are losing faith in yourself, you probably have low vibrations. Affirmations do an 
amazing job at lifting your spirits and raising your vibrations of energy, which is going to 
help you manifest much sooner.

When you are lost or stuck. Certain affirmations are ideal for when you are feeling a 
little lost or stuck, especially ones for abundance or success. You don’t need to worry 
about HOW this will happen for you, but just have faith that it will.

When you have low self-confidence. You are amazing person, and you deserve to be 
reminded of that. Use affirmations for self-love and confidence if you ever feel down 
about yourself.

When you are trying to accomplish a goal. Write your own affirmations related to a 
specific goal you are trying to achieve. Say it often, in the mirror or out loud, or by 
writing it down in your journal.

When you are manifesting something specific. Another use for the customized 
affirmations you write yourself is when you are trying to manifest something very 
specific, like a certain type of car, or traveling to your dream destination.

You will find many other reasons to use certain affirmations, based on your main 
manifesting focus at any given time. You can have one affirmation you use, or a 
selection of them for different areas of your life that you want improved.


Part Two: Writing Your Own Affirmations

While you can definitely find some amazing affirmations, it also helps to learn how to 
write your own. You can take one you find and tweak it to best fit your situation, or write 
one from scratch. You will notice that after the first few, they become effortless. Writing 
your own affirmations allows you to customize them to your life, your goals, and what 
you are trying to manifest.


Keep it Positive

The number one rule to writing an affirmation, especially when you are trying to 
manifest good things into your life, is to keep it positive. Don’t use any negative words in 
your affirmations. For example, if you want to lose weight, you don’t mention that you 
are trying to LOSE weight or struggling with it. That makes it appear like you attracting 
lack. 

Instead, switch it around, and talk about how you love your body and are at your ideal 
weight. This is how the law of attraction works best.


Write it in Present Tense

You also want your affirmations to be written in present tense, as if they already exist or 
have already happened. Even though you might be trying to work on a goal, you don’t 
write it as if you want it to come true, but like it already has.

With the law of attraction, you attract what you focus on. You don’t want to focus on 
your lack, but abundance. So, if you want to attract wealth, you write an affirmation 
about how you are already wealthy or like you attract wealth and abundance. 

Are you lacking confidence? Your affirmation should be about how you ARE confident, 
now how you WANT TO BE confident.


Keep it Short and Succinct

Remember that your affirmation should be short and to the point. No unnecessary 
words or verbiage. It is never longer than one sentence (aside from a few exceptions), 
and is usually a shortened sentence. You want to be able to keep it in your mind without 
having to read it every time, which is why keeping it brief is the best way to write it out.

Write down any affirmation that comes to you first, using the above rules of writing it in 
present tense and keeping it positive. Read it to yourself once, then read it out loud. 
Now close your eyes, and say it again. Were you able to do it without looking? If not, 
you might need to shorten it or change some of the words you used.

Affirmations are really powerful, even if they seem silly at the time. The more you tell 
yourself you are amazing, confident, attract abundance, have an open heart, and have 
all these blessings in your life, the more your subconscious begins to feel it – and the 
more you can actually attract those things into your life with the law of attraction.
