If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you’ll see that I post money affirmations every week.
I am a big believer in them…
They have the power to be incredibly transformative, especially when it comes to money and wealth.
And I think they’ve gotten a really bad rap…
… being cheesy, cliché, or lacking credibility when they don’t deliver… that they’re just a lie we’re telling ourselves.
Have you heard the term “Fake it ’til you make it”?
Affirmations are a way to help you fake it until you become it.
Here’s the key though…
Affirmations are not a one-and-done activity.
When you attach daily action steps that are inspired by your affirmation, each step is taking you in the direction you want to go…
… the affirmation begins to do its job—reframing how you think.
This can be especially powerful when your focus is directed on improving your money and your financial life.
Affirmations might seem a bit out there at first, but trust me, they’re a game-changer.
Here’s why and how they work, step-by-step:
Setting the Stage: Imagine you’re standing in front of a mirror, morning light streaming in, feeling the weight of financial worries. You decide to try something different. You say out loud, “I am creating a life of abundance and financial security.” It feels odd, maybe even a bit uncomfortable, because right now you are anything but abundant and secure… but that’s the new seed being planted.
Repetition Is Key: Every day, you repeat this affirmation, “I am creating a life of abundance and financial security.” Slowly, something inside your head shifts. The constant repetition starts rewiring your brain, nudging your subconscious to believe you can actually be financially successful.
Shifting Perspectives: With each day, as this affirmation becomes part of your routine, you notice a change in how you view money. No longer is it a source of stress, but a tool for achieving your dreams. This mindset shift opens up new possibilities—handling finances creatively—and confidence begins to creep in.
Taking Action: Now that your mindset is changing, you feel freer to take action because it feels so good. Maybe that idea for a side hustle gets you going and you start planning it out. Savings goals? You’re mapping a path to get there.
Each step is really faking it until you become it… your affirmation is at work and doing its job at rewiring your brain… and you keep at it.
Reflecting on Progress: Fast-forward a few months, and the transformation is undeniable. You’ve shattered the barriers in places you never thought you could move. Your financial health? Stronger. Your bond with money? Healthier. All it took was one small yet mighty declaration to kick-start this change…
“I am creating a life of abundance and financial security.”
Why does this work?
Because affirmations help combat the negative self-talk that often holds us back.
They encourage a positive relationship with money, one where you’re in control and moving forward, not stuck in fear or doubt.
I say affirmations every day.
Want to change your world, financial or otherwise?
Design your own affirmation that has real meaning… give it time… and watch the magic happen.
Before you know it, you’re not faking it anymore… it’s your life.
