Let’s be honest here, if you had ALL the skills required to attain your goals you would have most likely achieved them, or you’d be closer.
So, which specific skills do you need to develop in order to meet your goals and to become the person you want to be?
You may already have some idea of these gaps, because you’ve probably been frustrated in the past when you realized they were holding you back.
Today, picture someone who has done what you want to do, or who embodies the characteristics you want to express, and notice what skills they’re using.
Then be honest with yourself and tally the list of skills you need to develop.
An affirmation is a positive statement that reinforces a change you are in the midst of making. For example, if you’re working on being more organized in the kitchen (so that you can cook those Italian recipes!), you might say, “My kitchen is free of clutter and I can easily find the tools and ingredients that I’m looking for.”
More general affirmations work as well, such as:
* I am perfect as I am.
* Money comes easily to me.
* I radiate good health and vitality.
* Everything in my life is working towards my ultimate good.
* I have the strength and courage I need to deal with any situation.
An affirmation is most effective when it’s written in the present tense, as if the change has already happened.
Imagine that you have already achieved your goal, and create personal affirmation statements that reflect your desired state.
These powerful statements will gradually sink into your subconscious mind and move you toward achieving your goals.
