What are you focusing on consistently? Are you focusing on positive outcomes? Or are you focusing on negative things?

Jack Canfield who has sold 500,000,000 books has 9 guidelines for creating effective affirmations. I recommend you put this into your daily practice….
The 11 Guidelines for
Creating Effective Affirmations
The
Success Principles By: Jack Canfield
1. Start with the words I Am.
The words “I
am” are the two most powerful words in language.
2. Use the Present tense.
Describe what you want as though you already have
it.
Wrong: I am going to get a new red Porsche 911
Carrera.
Right: I am enjoying driving my new red Porsche
911 Carrera.
3. State it in the positive.
Affirm what you want, not what you don’t want.
The unconscious mind does not hear the word no.
Wrong: I am no longer afraid of flying.
Right: I am enjoying the thrill of flying.
4. Keep it brief.
Think of your affirmation as an advertising
jingle.
5. Make it specific.
Vague affirmations produce vague results.
Wrong: I am driving my new red car.
Right: I am driving my new red Porsche 911
Carrera.
6. Include an action word
ending with –ing.
The active verb adds power to the effect by
evoking an image of doing it right now.
Wrong: I express myself openly and honestly.
Right: I am confidently expressing myself openly
and honestly.
9. Include at least one
dynamic emotion or feeling word.
Some commonly used words are… enjoying, joyfully,
happily, celebrating, proudly, calmly, peacefully, delighted, enthusiastic,
triumphant.
Wrong: I am maintaining my perfect body weight of
178 lbs.
Right: I am feeling agile and great at 178!!!!
10. Make affirmations for
yourself, not others.
Wrong: I am watching Johnny clean up his room.
Right: I am effectively communicating my needs
and desires to Johnny.
11. Add or something better.
Example: I am enjoying living in my beautiful
beachfront villa on the Ka’anapali coast of Maui or somewhere better.
