There are a couple of issues around using affirmations that people often ask me about. They are usually along the following lines: “why do I give up using an affirmation soon after I start?” or “why do I lose motivation for them a few days later?”

Do you want the wealth and success you create to be something only for yourself or will others benefit? Do you feel good hearing about the success of people you don’t know? How would you feel if someone you knew became very successful and wealthy; would you be happy for them person or not? Sometimes we harbour deep insecurities around money which tell us more about our attitudes to it than we would like to admit. Envy, sadness, resentment can all rear their ugly heads from within even the best of people from time to time. They force us to confront our own failings and weaknesses and fears for the future. Perhaps we feel envious because we want something we don’t yet have or we know we haven’t yet made enough effort for its attainment. Maybe we feel that life has been unfair or that good things never happen to us.

One of the best times to influence your subconscious mind and program yourself for greater success, wealth and happiness is when we wake up in the morning before we start our daily routines.
