The Most Effective Way To Use Affirmations
Posted by: Sigal Zoldan on: January 12, 2010
You’ve probably heard about affirmations and maybe you used a few in your daily life. If it worked for you then great! Continue doing what you’ve done. However if you heard about other people that used them and it worked for them but not for you then maybe you didn’t use them in the most effective ways. Powerful affirmation is something that is not only simple to create but you can do it successfully by yourself, starting in just a few minutes.
Did you know that:
AFFIRMATIONS IS ONE OF THE EASIEST WAYS TO TAP INTO YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
I am using affirmations for years. In the beginning I didn’t really know what I was doing. I didn’t know how to use affirmations in a way that will have me to achieve the results I was looking for.
For along time I affirmed:
"I will attract the right guy for me". One day I attended a lecture and the lady there said that we must state it in the present tense or else we WILL never get it because we are affirming in the future. So I’ve learned, but it took a long time until the next tip came and the next one. And all this time I had a strong belief that this affirmation thing should work. I didn’t give up but I was puzzled, why wasn’t it working for me.
All of that happened before I took my professional training and combine with my experience I felt that I had a complete picture of how to make it work.
Tapping into the power of your subconscious mind can become a daily habit. You can train yourself, BY YOURSELF!! Because once you have the understanding that every thought that we think has an impulse, that the impulse that is traveling in the brain produces chemical reactions = the emotions that we experience (and this is what is putting the law of Attraction into Action by the way), and having the formula of how to structure a powerful affirmation then you’ve actually tapped into your subconscious mind EFFECTIVELY!
allowed me to keep on the faith that I intuitively had about affirmations.
(Even though I didn’t see any major results yet…)
After taking my professional trainings, I followed 3 guidelines that made the affirmation so powerful. Together with my NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programing) training,Clinical hypnosis and other body mind work that I’ve done, I put together the Success-Shift™ Affirmations. The 6 simple and practical steps will help anyone who implements them manifest quicker and easier what they desire.
The most important things you want to know about affirmations are::
What the best time of the day to utilize affirmations is.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
How to design affirmations in the most effective way.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
What exactly you should do with them in order to achieve the desired results ASAP.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
It’s true that I didn’t manifest everything I want in life. Yet, I am grateful to have this tool and every period of time I choose a specific area in my life in which I’d like to create there a shift and I utilize the Success-Shift™ Affirmations to help me with that.
If you are reading this blog and you have not taken advantage of the Success-Shift™ Affirmations yet I’ll be happy to share it with you for free just click here and in a few minutes it will be delivered to your email box.

I was happy to find your site. I have been doing numerous affirmations and have not seen any improvement. I have recently sold one business and started a new one. The past 9 months have been a financial nightmare. I have worked with other coaches in the past that have continually told me, focus on providing service and always say “I now” in my affirmations. I am very far behind on my bills and I was also told not to put “bills’ into my affirmations. =)
So any assistance with this affirmation will help:
I allow vast improvement to come quickly into all phases of my life and am delighted that my bills are current (which would take a large sum of money =))and my business is providing me with a personal financial income of $20,000.00 or more each month.

Good job on putting together those affirmations Maria.
Here is my feedback:
It is important that you beleive those affirmations.
So it is better to use an affirmation bridge. You did it with the first affirmation. That’s great!!
See how to incorporate it in the second one, if what you currently wrote is not believable.
I would suggest to replace the word “flawless”with a more positive word. There is still “flaw” in the “flawless”.
A suggestion:
I am allowing myself to be a beautiful young woman with a clear, smooth and healthy skin.
Do this consistently every night for the next 3 weeks or so.
See what is starting to shift. Feel free to come back and share. I always have more ideas in regards to how to change what you wish to change.
The affirmation is a great start to get your mind away from what you don’t want and towards what you want.
Much love and blessings,

Hello Sigal. Your blog and ideas are very interesting. For now, I have a couple of things I want to work on.
1- I procastinate a lot and I’m on a deadline to finish my PhD thesis and I just don’t seem to concentrate. Days go by where I have barely written something or done something about it and then I feel guilty. However, I have all these excuses not to do what I need to do. Anyway, my affirmation would be:
“Every single day it’s becoming easier to finish my thesis”
2- I have acne prone skin and I really want a clear skin. So, what about:
“I’m a beautiful young woman with flawless skin”
Thank you, Sigal

When you affirm for something, it is pretty much like throwing a pebble (your statement) into an ocean (of infinite supply). It will create waves in all directions, gather all different expressions of the energy (thoughts and feelings) you just sent out, it will multiply and come back to you. So, unless you’d really like to experience what you asked for multiplied and returned to you, don’t affirm it.
May 9, 2011 at 3:51 pm
Hi Sigal,
Thank you. I will do as you suggested. I appreciate it greatly!
May 6, 2011 at 5:11 pm
Great thoughts you have there Rena.
Think about this:
Do diet work?
Yes and no. They work when you put them into work, when you’ll do it consistently and when you do it in the way that is right for you. Not every diet is good for everyone. Even though we are the same we are also very different. Different DNA, metabolism, blood type, sleeping needs/habits, belief systems. If you’ll add on top of the diet exercise will you get greater results? No doubt you will. If you’ll add to the diet and exercise a great empowering mind set and visualize yourself slim, fit and in shape will you get greater results? Not doubt you will.
So back to your question. Affirmations are a part of the puzzle, it’s one piece. It’s not that the affirmation themselves bring you the results, There are actions involved and things that need to come into place. So what they will do for you is put you in the right mind set that will allow you to become more motivated, that will allow you to recognized the right opportunities, that will allow you to listen to yourself in a way that will guide you to be in the right place at the right time.
I am sharing on this blog http://blog.sigalzoldan.com/past-life-regression-therapy-a-truly-life-changing-tool/ how I met my husband. I must admit that between that in that 1.5 years of searching for him and working on myself, 4 months before he showed up I used the affirmation “I am attracting only mys husband”.
If you are doubting the process of using affirmation then you might have some resistance to it or to the outcome you are wanting to achieve. And I am talking about subconscious resistance obviously. If that is the case, maybe affirmation is not the first choice. Evey thing that you are trying to achieve in life, when on some level you are resisting it, no matter which tools you are using, you’ll tend to think that the tools are not working, when in most cases it’s one of these two:
1. You are not using the tool and a conducive way.
2. Some part in you is terrified with the change (even a positive change) so it’s diminishes the power of the tool and sabotages your success.
I’d be happy to give you a free 20-minute consultation and help you get a clear picture of where to put your focus first.
If you’d like that go to http://www.sigalzoldan.com/ourservices/oneononesessions/ and follow the instructions.
Make it a beautiful weekend.

Hi Sigal,
I grew up in a Word of Faith church were tithing was preached heavily or sowing seed as it’s called.
In any event, my mind has been so conditioned that tithing is the ONLY way to receive more money. So it’s like I’ve been stuck at the same income level for years no matter how many money affirmations I say. It’s like when I say money affirmations, I get more credit but i haven’t reached my high six figure a year income level yet nor have I been able to tithe enough to get me there. Sigh
So I’m wondering. Do affirmations for money really help manifest money?
May 5, 2011 at 1:31 pm
Hi Sigal,
I heard it from author Jack Canfield but I had a lot of resistance to the IDEA of 400x. LOL
Rena
P.S. I am using affirmations to increase my business income and secure a high paying work from home job. Is this okay, as long as they are separated out?
May 4, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Rena, 400 times? where did you take this number from?
Either 1 time before you go to sleep with your non-dominant hand or 21 times before you got to sleep with your dominant one.
Whichever you choose.
Sigal
May 4, 2011 at 10:15 am
One more quick question please…:)
Do I need to write the affirmations down 400 times a day to see results?
May 4, 2011 at 9:32 am
Awesome Rena. Feel free to share the corrected ones so I can give you more feedback.
Have a great day.
May 4, 2011 at 9:25 am
You’re the best, Sigal!
This is wonderful…I feel better already.
I will do as you suggested and repost shortly.
Rena
May 4, 2011 at 2:07 am
Hi Rena,
I am really glad that you decided to share this with me because there is something that I am noticing that once you tweak will make a big difference. Notice that you are affirming repeatedly: “I want”.
That means that you will continue to want. And I am sure you do not only want to want, but you also want to be/have/allow weigh/live etc.
Did you download the PDF that I offered through this blog? I guide you more specifically how to write them effectively.
So here are a few corrections:
“I am open to receive $5,000 per week job offer that I love where I am working from home”.
Make sure to also take actions that will lead you to achieve that. Do you believe the affirmation above? the statement needs to be believable, or else your mind will resist. Are you open to receive? If there resistance, whats the resistance? Feel free to share it with me and I’ll guide you from there.
Are you married right now? are you with someone? Are you waiting for a proposal? we need to take this one “I want to be happily married” and make it fit: For example: If you are single: “I am attracting the man/partner that brings out the very best in me”.
Lets start with those. Work on the rest a bit more based on my comments adn you are welcome to post again the refined affirmations.
Warmly,
Sigal
I am
May 3, 2011 at 3:25 pm
Hello, i am happy i discovered your site.
I would like help with phrasing an affirmation that works.
I want to allow and receive a $5,000 per week job offer that I love where I get to work from home.
I want to be happily married.
I want to move into my own luxury spacious home by August 1, 2011
I want to weight 180 pounds, eat accordingly and be fit, strong and toned
I want to receive at least $1850 a week through my online advertising business. Ideally I would like to attract a $100,000 year sponsor
I want to pay early and in full all credit card, charge card and loan balances.
March 14, 2011 at 9:55 am
Mitcy, is this an affirmation or a reality for you? When I read it it seems so real
Ok here is my feedback to you;
1. Do you beleive what you wrote? or do you feel that you would which to beleive that but you are not exactly believing it yet?
2. I would split it to 3 separated affirmations,including the little changes I added below:
-1-I am attracting exactly the kind of relationship I am totally ready for.
I changed the “want” to “I am totally ready for” because I’d like you to move from and experience of “wanting” to an experience of being ready to receive (what you want),
-2-I am totally happy being married to the husband God wants for me.
I changed the “now” to “totally happy” because it is a bit challenging for us to beleive that we are married when we are not married, but you can believe now that you are happy now and will be as a married woman.
-3- Our love was made in heaven, our marriage is holy happy and prosperous.
Hmm…I don’t know what to say at this point in terms of tweaking it. My suggestion is to keep this aside for the next 2-3 weeks and get back to it after you’ve wrote consistently for 2-3 weeks the two ones above. Feel free Mitcy to come back and get my advice on this one in 2-3 weeks.
Much love,
Sigla Zoldan

Thanks for sending me the URL to your blog Sigal. You read my mind across the miles — I was making a mental note to myself to look it up.
I used to write down 3 things I was grateful for, or felt good about, every night — then, being an overachiever, I expanded it to 10 — and then, because of that, stopped doing it at all after a while!
So I will do it again — and do yours, or the gratitude one — or maybe one of each, or a McCombo. LOL
You have such great ideas. …I remember this one from the class I took from you, but unfortunatley, it can be easy to forget these things!
Or as Jim Rohn always used to say — so easy to do — and so easy not to do! It takes constant vigilance to stay on top of all these great ways to make our lives the way we want them to be!
Thanks for all your great posts!
All the Best,
Dianna

Dear Flower,
All your affirmations are wonderful. The question is what do they do to you. Check with yourself if there is any resistance or disbelief showing up when you read them. If there is then use for about two weeks the affirmation bridge that you got from the PDF you downloaded here http://www.sigalzoldan.com/free/success-shiftaffirmations.
In general each affirmation should contain these three:
In the Present tense, Positive and Empowering.
Let’s take this one for example:
“I am working on a project (photo shoot or commercial) that pays me $5000 & quickly”.
Do you beleive it, or is there a part in you that rejects it?
If it’s believable then great!. If not I would adjust it to;
“I am allowing myself to attract easily and quickly photo shoot or commercial projects that pays me $5000 and more”.
You can also get this guided visualization http://www.sigalzoldan.com/products/guidedvisualizations/pullingoutlimitingbeliefs that will help you to pull out limiting beliefs and contribute to get results faster.
Enjoy manifesting your heart desires.

Hi Sigal.
So, this is what I’ve come up with.
Present tense: I am working on a project ( photo shoot or commercial) that pays me $5000 & quickly
Positive tense: I am confidently working on a big wardrobe project with assistance with a healthy working budget.
Empowering: Everyday I enjoy working as a wardrobe stylist, making money going from project to project, with people who appreciate my work.
Any feed back would be most appreciated. I hope you are enjoying your trip. So I guess I’m looking for the right affirmation.
Best regards,
Flower

I, too, have begun to use affirmations since attending your seminar, Sigal, and they are totally working!
Here are a few of the ‘financially motivated’ affirmations I’ve been trying over the past few weeks that are working for me. The first was authored by me as an affirmation bridge, the balance were shared with me from a friend who obtained them from a book:
- “Each day I am taking the right steps to make a ton of money while masterfully balancing between work and life.”
- “Money is as accessible as air”
- “Money loves me and I love money. I welcome abundance into my life. I am a wealthy person and I gratefully receive my wealth now”
Since using these affirmations I have been more motivated, am on the road to closing 3 sales in the next week and received a job inquiry this morning for an AWESOME opportunity that pays very well.
January 24, 2010 at 1:16 am
Cate, you can use more than one affirmation at a time. I would stick with 3 or less. That way when you use them according to the Success-Shift™ Affirmations your subconscious mind will be able to focus. In this case overload will distract you from the affirmation, and we want to avoid that

Thanks for your feedback. Taking this into consideration, I have changed to two affirmations:
I am enjoying working with fabulous people in my new money making environment.
I am delighted my new income keeps my bills current, with $100 going into savings each payday.
Is it more effective to do multiple affirmations at one time or at different times in the day?
Thanks for your further input!
January 21, 2010 at 3:52 pm
Dear Care,
Regarding your affirmation:
“I am working with fabulous people at my new job. I am delighted to see all my bills current and $100 going into savings each payday.”
The most important this is – what does it do to you? Are you happy, excited, moved by this affirmation? If the answer is yes” then it is a great one for you (of course with the other aspects of the present form etc.)
Here is my comment about it:
When starting an a affirmation with “I am working” for some people it might triggers resistance. Read the sentence again and if there is some resistance that is an indication to change something in the structure of the sentence, for example;
“I am enjoying collaboration/working/communicating with fabulous people in my new job/office/company/money making environment”.
A second affirmation (remember that one of the guidelines in the PDF you got (get it here) is to keep it short, so just do two separated affirmations.
“I am delighted to see all my bills current and $100 going into savings each payday.”
Excellent, really, and the first comment I gave goes for this one two.
Please let us know how it goes for you.
Enjoy.
January 21, 2010 at 3:10 pm
I am working with fabulous people at my new job. I am delighted to see all my bills current and $100 going into savings each payday.”
Looking forward to your feedback/suggestions, Sigal! Thank you.

After reading Sigal’s steps to incorporate Success-Shift Affirmations, I found what I’ve been looking for…the affirmation bridge!! In the past, I have worked with several coaches to write affirmations. With each, I have polished my skills and have seen an improvement in my results. When I read Sigal’s information about affirmations bridges, I knew what had been missing!
Using affirmation bridges, I am allowing myself to believe in my success in creating powerful affirmations. Thank you, Sigal!

Hi Amy,
Thanks for your question Amy. Affirmations are only one piece of the puzzle. Affirmations are helping us to open up, to change our vibrations, to take action with more motivation. When we use affirmation and worry most of the time, the affirmations will most likely won’t work. I hear your subconscious mind through the affirmation you wanted me to look over. I hear stress and pressure maybe some anxiety too. So in conjunction with the affirmation I encourage you to get this book, it will make so much sense to you and will help you to train yourself to relaxed and trust while taking action in the right direction. http://blog.sigalzoldan.com/the-best-book-i-read-this-year-so-far/ and do your affirmation:
“improvement ” implies (each time that you’ll affirm, that it is not good now, and we don’t want to trigger any negative emotions.
I allow myself to fully trust my actions, emotions and mind set to lead me in the best positive direction so I can easily and comfortably take care of my financial endeavors.
(Make it two separated affirmations)
Does this one below believable to you?
“My business is providing me with a personal financial income of $20,000.00 or more each month.”
If not, you should tweak it to:
“Each and every day I allow myself and my business to provide me with an on growing monthly income of _______ or more”.
(choose an amount less than $20,000 so your subconscious mind can start adjusting. Too big of a leap will reject the idea, I don’t know what you are making right now, but if it’s far bellow the 20,000 then you it can work better to take it in increments. You don’t have too, it all depends on how much you believe in what you write).
Let me know Amy if you have any questions.
Good luck and keep in touch.
Many blessings,
Sigal.
