95. 1. Save this PowerPoint to a new file.
2. Copy the Power Affirmations that you want to focus on to that file.
3. Review those slides at least 2-3 times per day—preferably once in the morning when you get up
and once in the evening when you go to sleep.
4. For the affirmations that are the most meaningful to you,I recommend you memorize them.
While that can happen automatically as the result of reviewing them regularly,you will accelerate
the process with a little extra effort.
The result of memorizing an affirmation,quote,or passage is to pass the information on to your
subconscious mind. This is why we are instructed to memorize definitions,multiplication tables,
etc.,in school.
Review and listen to the affirmations regularly for at least 30 days. The purpose of these slides and
other tools is to help you concisely articulate your self-talk for the purpose of conditioning your
subconscious mind for taking positive action.
Only action completes the success cycle. Affirmations,visualization,goal setting,by themselves
create nothing. To achieve success,you must add efficient and effective action. Faith without deeds is
dead.
