How to create your own so that you could start integrating some very powerful affirmations into your life very seamlessly. And it's going to resonate so much with you. So the reason I decided to create this course was because in my personal development journey, I have used affirmations. I have looked for them, I have seeked out to them, and I've known that there is such a powerful tool for self-transformation. But the problem was that all the affirmations that I found online was either not effective, it did not resonate with me. I didn't really feel anything. I didn't really feel like it did anything for me. So you know what I did, I decided to create. This video is exactly about that. If you feel like you have used affirmations before and they didn't really stick and it didn't really resonate with you. And you felt like there's gotta be more, there's gotta be some more to this practice. You know that you can take your affirmations to the next level, that is next level believable, that is next level powerful. Then this video is going to be for you. Also, if you desire to have a very simple practice just to quickly snap yourself back to realign yourself to that next level. You're going to love this course. We're going to cover. Some of the things that we're going to cover is how to find the words that feel the most potent and powerful for you. How do you, how do we find those words that make us re-energize ourselves and really wake ourselves up, wake up energy system. How do we make our affirmations more believable if we have a hard time believing them. And also, how do we seamlessly integrate that information into our lifestyle so that we don't always have to remember to practice them. And so they just naturally, just like naturally surrounded by our affirmations. And we're just reminded, we have these like effortless reminders dropping everywhere around our life. I hope you are just as excited as I am because we are going to cover some juicy material with that said, I will see you on the inside. 2. SET YOUR POINT OF REFERENCE: Okay, so before we do any kind of writing work, what we need to do in the very first place, we need a set, a point of reference. This point of reference is going to, I'm referring to a point of time, then near future or in the far future, doesn't matter where at which point of the future that you set your target Act. As long as you have a focus of this is going to be the time of my life where I'm going to be experiencing this or I'm gonna become this person that it has to be believed that feel like it's conceivable, something that is emotionally somewhat close to you so that you can, you can envision yourself becoming that are living that life in the future. So if you pick a time in the future that is so far ahead into the future that you have a hard time believing in, you have a hard time imagining what that's going to feel like, then try to pick something a little closer. All you need is a destination, a point in time where you can use as a reference so that you can start to build your vision around that. For some people, it could be like one or two versions of yourself from this point where you are right now. Or for some people, it could be like a little further down the road. If you really believe that you can take yourself that far, honestly does not matter. What matters is your experience and your emotions that you extract from. So in the next video, we're going to talk about a very special list for you to compile so that you could use that for your affirmations down the road. I'll see you in the next video. 3. CREATE YOUR MAGIC WAND LIST: Hello you guys and welcome back. In this video, I want to introduce to you this novel concept of a magic one list. It's basically a powerful word bank that collects all the words that feels super powerful for you that resonate with you. A few really activating for you and basically collected all so that you can use these words for your affirmations down the road. These are words that hold a lot of meaning to you. These are words that you directly pull from your vision emotionally feel very activating for you. When you hear or say these words, it instantly puts you on a high vibration. It instantly energizes your system. It reminds you of your vision and you're like, Oh yeah, let's go. So I call this the magic wand list. We're going to be using the Magic Wand lists in the next few videos, where I will be introducing some visualization exercises for you to start building your list. I would only use the words that personally resonate with, you know, a lot of people they love using very powerful words. But just because some words sound like a good idea to you, doesn't mean it's suitable for you. So make sure the number one key to using and creating your own affirmations is that it has to fit you and it has to be super tailored and custom-made for you. So with that said, I'll see you in the next video. 4. SCULPTING YOUR CHARACTER: Welcome, Welcome back, you guys. In this video, we're going to cook up some amazingness. So I'm really excited about this one. Okay, So in this video, we're going to talk about sculpting your character. Now, you're going to need, need a pen, paper, notebook, journal for this. And make sure you just grab it before you go into your visualization. Now what you're gonna do is find yourself a comfortable spot. Close your eyes with no distractions and you can set a timer for like five to ten to 15 minutes for yourself to do it however long you need. What you wanna do. It. Close your eyes and experience. Take yourself to that point in time where your desired reality has happened. Asked herself and start visualizing, who do you want to become? What is the kind of person that you want to become? What is going to be your identity? As you ask yourself this question, you want to be drawing upon this image in your inner world and you're in your mental picture of the kind of person that you're going to grow to become in the future. So notice any qualities, any attributes, maybe some personality traits that you're going to have developed in the future. Maybe some confidence, maybe some softness, maybe some more love and kindness. Like it doesn't matter what those qualities and traits are. What you wanna do? Is it really zoom into the character of you. Imagine doing this with your finger. Like what you're doing is you're zooming, really zooming into the qualities and characteristics of the person that you're going to become. And I want you to take a mental snapshot of it. Now what you wanna do after you finish your visualization, after you got that image, you took that mental snapshots, then you're going to go to your magic wand list with big title, magic long list, and write down everything that you feel like is really notable. And start jotting down some words, characteristics, attributes, personality traits, and start filling and populating that magic wand list. And it doesn't have to be coherent, it doesn't have to be cohesive. This is going to be who you are becoming in the future. And as you write them, start to feel that sense of conviction that oh my God, yes, that's who I'm becoming. That feels very neat. So with that said, I hope you enjoyed this exercise and I'll be seeing you in the next video. 5. SCULPTING YOUR CHARACTER: Okay, welcome back. I hope you're still sticking with me here. In this video, we're going to talk about sculpting your life. But what we're going to do in this exercise, we're also going to go into a visualization. We're also going to the creative mode. We're going to zoom and pan out a little bit. So imagine you're pulling the camera back and start to see what your life looks like. So everything that surrounds you. Now, you're not just focusing on your character, you're focusing on what your life looks like. So anything that is around you, people around you, the social circles around you, the activities that you do, the hobbies that you engage yourself, and the people that you talk to, the things that you create focused on all the elements around you. What are you doing? What do you have? What are you engaging yourself? In that visualization? You want to feel as much and you want to capture as much quality and feeling and emotion from that vision. And once you're done with that, go over back to your magic wand lists and capture everything that you see. You feel you have UB in that vision, anything that stands out to you that feels authentic to you, put that onto your list. So I hope you enjoyed this exercise. To be so fun. There's no better feeling than I'm looking forward to your future and be like, oh my gosh, like this is what my delight gets to look like. So go into it with this kind of excitement and anticipation and enjoy the exercise. I'll be seeing you in the next video. 6. RECONNECTING WITH YOUR DESIRES: Hello you guys and welcome back. For some of you who are like units, like I have a hard time visualizing at that time in the future and it's a bit hard to believe it. And I can't really quite make out the details of the picture and my vision. Like, what do I do if you have a hard time, just like constructing that vision in your mind, everything feels blurry for you. Everything feels unbelievable for you where everything feels like I just don't have the details, right? What you can do is turn your negative experiences in your current reality and your current life. Anything that you are not happy about in your life, and then turn them into desires. This is not just about like turning it in from a negative to a positive. It's not like an opposite word game. This is about knowing what it is that you do not desire. So you have all these negative experiences in your life or frustration or disappointment, you're upset, miss your sadness or grief. Then you're going to look at these emotions and experiences. And you're going to ask yourself, what is the underlying desire is hiding underneath of this pain, of this undesirable experience. What are some things that I truly, truly want? That is, line just underneath, just behind the veil, just the hind, this negative experience. So for example, if I had a heartbreak that makes me feel like I cannot be in a relationship again, or if I had several failures in my business and I feel like it's hard for me to believe in myself again. What do I want them to all want to feel successful again? Do I want to believe in myself again? Do I want to believe in love again? Do I want to believe and people again? So those are some of the desires actually underlying the pain, the guilt, shame, right? And then you want to extract those negative experiences and then turn them into what it is that you really want to show up in your dream life. Anything that you feel is negatively impacting you in your life right now, go into your timer and set five to ten minutes. Then ask yourself what desire is trying to reveal itself to you through your negative experiences. This is going to be such a powerful exercise. I believe that there's gonna be so much that will be revealed to you in this one. 7. PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER: Hello and welcome back. In this video, we're going to start writing our affirmations. We're going to start putting them together and I'm going to show you how you want to write your affirmations like shortly after you come out of your visualizations. Why? Because that's when your feelings are most potent. It's the most relevant, it's the strongest, you feel it in your body. Just visualized it. Honestly. There's no better time when you feel good to write your affirmations. So here is where you're going to breathe life into your magic one key list. You want to start by constructing statements using first person perspective and then fill up the rest of your sentences with the words from your magic wand list. So you're going to use words such as, I am, I feel, I experience, I embody, I love. These are just some of the example. We pair them up with the words that you already have in your magic wand list. For example, I feel calm and peaceful throughout the day, or I feel calm and peaceful throughout the workday. Or I have such deep, beautiful, rich relationships that feel really supportive. That sounds really good. I am super confident and comfortable around people. So now you're gonna go to your journal and start to turn these words in your magic wand list and compile these sentences. That's going to make up the list of your affirmations. So enjoy the exercise and I'll be seeing you in the next video. 8. Affirmations 08 USE BRIDGING WORDS: One of the other questions that I get asked a lot is like, Eunice, I nurses future reality that I know is going to happen, but it's still a little far from me and it doesn't feel blender percent believable, like I know mon get there, but it doesn't feel like I can get there right now. What do I do about it is when I say This person or an amine, this reality, I am successful or am in love or I have a lot of money. If feels like it's not entirely true. So what can I do? What can I do when you believe that you are on your path to something that feels believable for you and you're not entirely there yet soon, but you noted you're making your way there. You can use bridging words to help you bridge you're realities. So let's say this is your reality right here, right now, this is your current reality. And it feels a little far from where you want to be right here. And there's a huge gap In between. What you want to do is use bridging words to bridge that gap so that your mind is like when you say these words, when you say your affirmations, your mind doesn't automatically just reject it, it doesn't ban, it, doesn't say, oh, that's not real. They're just lying to yourself. Bridging words are essentially words that suggests progress. It implies that you're working on it. It implies that it is already happening, it's already on its way, but you're not quite there yet. So what are you doing? You are learning, you're exploring, you're experimenting. You are deepening your becoming, right? So it's like you're taking action in the ING format. Like an example of what that would look like in an affirmation would be like, I am becoming more patient with myself every day. You see the difference here. So instead of saying, I am super patient with myself, which probably is not entirely true right now. I can tell myself that I am becoming and I'm learning to be more patient with myself. When you check in with your mind, it's like, yeah, I think I can believe that it's more believable. It's achievable because it's can I believe, because can I believe that I'm learning and becoming more of that every single day. Or another example could be like, I am deepening my relationship with my partner. Is the relationship where I want it to be? Maybe not. But can I deepen every day? Or I am learning to believe in myself more every single day. I don't feel confident with myself yet. I don't feel a 100% about myself yet. But I'm learning, I'm getting there, there is work in progress. So this is how you train your mind to believe, to accept this as your new reality. And you are using this bridging word to bring these two realities closer and closer and closer together until eventually one day you find yourself right here. So that is what you can do to make your affirmations more believable so that it really allows it to sink in, into your mind. 9. FINE TUNE YOUR FREQUENCY: So the way that I see creating affirmations, it's like you're designing your life. It's not like a one-step process. And then you're done with it and then you're, you're finished with this process forever. If it's an art, it's a masterpiece. You have this process of fine tuning, of refining it. So what you wanna do with your affirmations, once you start building a list and once you start having a few affirmations, you want to go back into it and start reading it out to yourself. Because it's not like a process where you just like you're just done in Dustin, you just put it away. This is something that you want to rework and observe how her body is responding to it, right? If anything feels off a true, unbelievable, your mind says No, let's not because not believable, we're not going to that reality. Then it's time to tweak it. It's kinda like fine tuning and instrument or fine tune a piano. You want to keep tuning the energy of your word. You want to keep tuning your affirmations so that when you say it out loud, it feels good in your body. It sits just well like you assist just right with you. So as you say as you practice saying it out loud, start paying attention to how you feel when you say it. Is it comfortable? Is it natural? Is it believable? Does it relax? You are, when you say your body contract, you start tensing up, right? So start noticing these kind of nuances. Ideally, you want to feel optimistic. You want to feel comfortable. You want to feel like you want to feel like you're standing taller. You want to feel more empowered as you say, and practices affirmation that you feel super next level and elevated when you say it out loud. So now go ahead to go back into your affirmations and try to rework anything that needs tweaking and adjustment. With that said, I'll be seeing you in the next video. 10. LIFESTYLE INTEGRATION: Hello, hello, hi, beautiful friends and welcome back. Today we are going to talk about integration. I'm going to be sharing with you all the creative places and beautiful places where we can sneak or affirmations into so that it is fully integrated into our subconscious mind. It is fully integrated into our lifestyle, into our being so that we can allow these affirmations to take maximum effect. Like how amazing is that? I personally don't believe that there should be any kind of separation between your affirmations and your lifestyle. Like there should be no division, no separation. It should not be like a separate practice. They should be a part of your lifestyle. Like there's no reason why you need to take your affirmations out of the other 2423 hours of your life after you're finished with your practice, what I love to do is I love to just drizzle the affirmations around my life so that I can see them left, right, and center. And I can always be reminded of this delicious energy that I want to be in that I'm leading myself into one of the things that I love to do and I think really works for a lot of people, is that you want to make them aesthetically pleasing to look at what am I talking about? You can turn them into artwork, put it on a canvas, prints it out, take it to a shop, print it out, put in a frame on the wall. Like make it beautiful to look at so that it's art serves a purpose on its own. But at the same time, it's also your affirmation. You'll want to look at it because not only is it beautiful, but at the same time when you look at it, it's like, oh yeah, that is a life that I'm creating. So there is that gentle nudge, that's a gentle reminder. You don't have to just practice it in the morning and then completely step away from it. It's like its wall art, It's right there. The things that I love to do is turn that into a phone, screen saver, laptop screensaver. So whenever I pick up my phone, I look at it. There it is. You can also turn it into an engraving on your jewelry. Print it on a mug printed in your calendar. You can also use it in mantra in your meditation, there are some creative ways of integrating it. One of my favorite is also like using it as a Wi-Fi names and passwords. This way, every single time you log into your email or you login to some account, you're instantly reminded, Hey, this is a thought level. This is the frequency and vibration I want to be on. This is how I want to feel. And then you're gently reminded how amazing is that. It's super easy. So the point being made fun of for yourself, allow yourself to enjoy your affirmations without having any kind of separation between the practice and your life. Because ultimately, this is who you are. This is becoming, might as well enjoy it. With that said, I'll be seeing you in the next and final video. 11.
