Write about 8 – 12 affirmations to read on a daily basis. Try to cover all aspects of your life (personal, professional, social, family, relationships, etc) or whatever you want to work on. Repeat each set for 30 days before you write your next set of affirmations for the next 30 days. You don’t need to replace the entire set. You can make some changes to reflect your current level of confidence, self-esteem and goals. If you found any of the old affirmations helpful, then keep them and don’t make changes. If some need to be adapted, then tweak or replace them.
According to Louise Hay, author of You Can Heal Your Life, the secret to loving yourself is learning to think in positive affirmations. Hay suggests you pick a small number of your positive affirmations to focus on for the day. Write them out 20 times. Read them aloud to yourself enthusiastically. Carry them with you as you go about your day. These affirmations will eventually become beliefs.
