All affirmations begin with yes. The yes can be at beginning of sentence or many yeses written all over page. It doesn't matter.

Yes, I can write well. Yes, I matter in this world. Yes, I love animals. Yes, I am a writer. Yes, I can be rich. Yes, I am rich in many ways already. Yes, I can be a millionaire. Yes, I love my children. Yes, I love changing of leaves.

Or create a list of yeses without place yes as first word. Remember, there’s no exact right and wrong way, just YES way.

Yes…

This too shall pass. The sun is out. I am in flow. I have lost one pound. I did write today. I do walk my talk. Life is infinite.

Use whatever is occurring in your life at time. Whatever your focus could be. If you are blank start with weather. If you are thinking even broader, write that down as well. Create a freeing experience in order to raise your bar and rebalance noes that weight down our shoulders.

Well...I kept my promise. This exercise is simple to understand, simple to learn, and simple to complete. Okay, last one takes a little more effort than simple because you are learning to shift your thinking from societies murky depths of noes. Challenge your inner voice to this exercise all day long. When we hear no turn around and restate phrase in yes. You can even mumble yeses as you drive.

Every one of my clients and myself has experienced new ceilings, new miracles, and many new experiences just by re-balancing our lives with YES. The exercise batted one thousand for all of us and it will for you too. This is just one of those experiences that you need to try it in order to believe it.

We do this to ourselves every single day. The more we tell ourselves we are unlikely to do something or can't do something more we are setting ourselves up to fail.

A prime example is following quote, "I'm tired." Some of us (myself included at times) say it so much we talk ourselves into being tired.

My advice? Stop negative thoughts. Accept that if we tell ourselves we can't do it, we won't.

Imagine internal power if we can turn constantly negative "I can't do it" thoughts into "I can do it and I will do it". You never know, you might just succeed. Try it for a day, then a week, then a month and then keep doing it and success will follow you.
