How to Create Affirmation Cards

In spiritual and new age terms an affirmation is a positive statement that is believed to benefit the current situation and reality of an individual. Renowned author Louise L. Hay believes that repetition of affirmations can increase confidence, motivation and general well-being. Affirmations are also used by other popular American authors, like Anthony Robins, Esther Hicks, Rhonda Byrne and Napoleon Hill. Affirmation cards are a simple tool designed to aid the affirmation process.

Instructions

Creating the Affimations

1

Write down five broad areas that you would like to improve in your current situation, leaving a space in between each area. Some examples are career, relationships, finance, family, confidence, motivation and health.

2

Jot down several affirmations under each heading; make sure that each statement is positive, in the present tense and personal to you. The affirmation must be concise (maximum 15 words in length) and if possible use evocative words that trigger emotional responses. For example under the health section you may write "I am overflowing with good health and wholeness," and under finances you could write "money comes easily and freely."

3

Read over the affirmation list and circle eight of your favorite affirmations.

Creating the Cards

4

Fold the A4 (or letter size) sheet of card in half, fold in half again and fold a third time to create eight rectangular sections.

5

Carefully use the scissors to cut along the folded lines, leaving eight pieces of card.

6




Images can increase the memorability of your affirmation.

Flick through the old magazines and search for images that relate to your affirmations. Cut out the selected images -- it is not to necessary to have an image for each affirmation, but it helps to make each one more memorable.

7

Glue each image onto a separate affirmation card.

8

Write each affirmation onto its corresponding card.
