I know that for many, affirmations work, whilst others just get bored with them. There is a way however, to use them with powerful results, as long as we employ the power of our feelings. Repeat the thought over and over again. You have spent years filling up your fridge with garbage. Use present tense.
Tomorrow never comes.
Use positive terms. It is as if your thoughts are the plan on paper and your feelings bring it into 3-dimensional reality. If you really want something in your life, let your excitement be there. Tell the world. You deserve it.
