Hey, Lucky B. It's Denise here from LuckyBitch.com.
You might know that I absolutely love a good affirmation. I think they are just as
powerful as an amazing book and way quicker, too. Affirmations, or mantras,
are actually a huge part about how I've manifested my first class life and business.
I always recommend them as a great starting point if you're looking to
drastically upgrade your life. I've used many affirmations over the years,
depending on what I was trying to manifest. I always get asked what the best affirmations
are for specific situations. Today, I'm going to give you three of my absolute
best affirmations that can help you shift from feeling ick and negative to feeling
fabulous and deserving really quickly. Let's do it.
Before we start, what are affirmations – just in case you don't know. Here's a
reminder: affirmations are just positive brain training statements that help you
shift your focus from the negative – where a lot of us spend our time – to
the positive. They're also great pattern interrupters and they just feel good, too.
What do I mean by a pattern interrupter? It's like this: You might be going about
your day when you notice that you're kind of dwelling on some negative stuff like, "I
can't be successful because I'm not smart enough. Or maybe I need to do
another certificate or maybe I need to lose 10 pounds first." It just goes, "Blah,
blah, blah, blah," in your head all day long. If you don't interrupt that negative thought
pattern, you'll probably create a downward spiral that manifests more frustration,
more lack and more negativity. When you're feeling crap about yourself, you
often miss opportunities. You talk yourself out of taking action and you get stuck in
procrastination. Negative self-talk is probably one of the biggest sabotaging
patterns that I see in women who aren't living their ideal life. But it's also one of
the quickest, cheapest and easiest ways to turn things around. Now, if you use an
affirmation, like the one that I teach all the time, "It's my time and I'm ready for the
next step," it immediately gives your brain something to focus on instead of those
annoying negative patterns and, "Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah," stuff. This particular
affirmation, "It's my time and I'm ready for the next step," sends that message, "No, I
am ready for the next step. I only need to do one more thing." Plus, that one also
gets you out of that jealousy feeling that everyone else is getting the opportunities
and reminds you that good things can happen to you as well. When you train
your brain to look for the positive, you automatically start to feel better and then
you act in different ways. You might feel more motivated to take action – even a
small one – and it has a knock on effect to creating positive outcomes as well.
If you use affirmations, whenever you notice the negative thoughts coming to
play, you can say it, you can write it down, you can read it, but it interrupts that
downward spiral before it creates anymore drama in your life. If you
do it enough, you can train your brain to manifest awesome things for you.
What are the best affirmations that you can use to grow your business an abundance?
Here are the ones that I'm loving right now. Number one: My face is my fortune.
I use this one all the time now. This is for you, especially if you're hiding away.
For your customers to connect with you, you need to be seen. People love connecting
with an actual person and a real face. Even though you might think you're not
perfect yet, that's exactly what your customers want to see. That's the way
that you can differentiate yourself in a crowded market; just be you. Yes, even
right now, even at your current weight, even though you think that you're not ready.
Even if you're worried that you're not good enough. Just keep on saying, "My face is my fortune."
I used to actually think I had to completely change everything about myself to be
successful. My accent, for example. I thought, "I can't be Australian and be
successful." It's weird, I know. You might have your own BS excuses as well.
Your success and abundance will skyrocket when you're okay just being successful
exactly as you are now. My face is my fortune. It could mean that you have to
get some new headshots. Yes, even before you're ready. Every time you do it,
you'll feel your business going to the next level. Maybe you've got to use your face
on your branding. Even if you're a product business, give yourself permission to be
seen as a real-life model of what you do. Your face is your fortune.
If you make things, you can even show the behind the scenes of your work space
and how you create your work. Give people an idea of the face behind the business.
That can also help you charge well for what you do because your audience
appreciates the work that goes into your product. Be brave. Show a mix of photos
of you maybe glammed up and then some real-life ones as well. You'll be
surprised at what your audience resonates with. Then, put yourself on your website.
Put a picture of yourself on your about page and all your social media profiles.
I see so many people hide away by using a picture of their animals or maybe an old
picture of them wearing sunglasses or whatever. Your face is your fortune.
Get on camera. Do live streams. Maybe just do some prerecorded videos.
Let your audience connect with you and your face. Do what feels comfortable, but
show up, be yourself and show yourself. Repeat that mantra. Write it down if you
want to – my face is my fortune – anytime you feel like you're not good
enough, you're not ready or you want to hide away from the world. The connection
to that real you is what's going to grow your tribe and grow your income.
Mantra number two. You might have heard me say this before:
I serve, I deserve. When I first started saying this affirmation, honestly, it
completely changed the way I felt about my impact on the world and my ability to
receive abundance in return. I used to feel terrible and so guilty that I couldn't
help everybody. I would just constantly at 3:00 in the morning wake up worrying
about the things that I couldn't help people with. Now, many heart-centered
entrepreneurs go into business to help people, but it feels kind of horrible when
you get people asking for free advice or even blaming you for things like not
offering discounts. The truth is, when you have a business, you could work 24/7 and
still feel like you're not doing enough. There's no clock-off time for most entrepreneurs.
How do you deal with it? I serve, I deserve. Think of all the ways you serve people.
It could be the hundreds of free articles on your blog, your weekly podcast or the
way you help out in business forums. You're probably serving all the time.
Guess what. You're allowed to receive abundance in return for all of that good
that you're putting out into the world. I serve, I deserve. It's okay to say no to
requests for free advice. It's okay to steer your customers towards your blog or your
paid offerings because you serve and you deserve as well. This affirmation will remind
you of all the ways you help people, but it will also help you to remember that you
don't have to serve in all ways or be everything to everyone. You already serve.
You are enough. Using this affirmation is also your reminder that it's okay to receive
good things doing what you do. You're entitled to receive abundance
in return for serving people. You're entitled to receive money as well.
Here's another life-changing affirmation number three:
This is what a wealthy woman looks like. Write this one on your mirror because it
will absolutely change your life. When you think about the stereotypical wealthy
woman, do you think she looks and sounds like you or not? I used to think I
wasn't allowed to be wealthy because I like to dress casually, I like to eat at Pizza Hut.
I was thinking, "Surely a rich woman is super fancy all the time and doesn't look like me."
Go and look in the mirror and say this affirmation to yourself. Point at your face
and say, "This is what a wealthy woman looks like." You know what? It might
totally trigger you and it might challenge your beliefs about your own ability to be wealthy.
It's going to bring all of your hidden excuses right up to the surface.
See what you tell yourself straight after it. "This is what a wealthy woman looks like."
"No, no, no. I'm not ready. I'm not XYZ enough to be wealthy." Let that all bubble up.
How are you not allowed to be wealthy? This is hugely invaluable information
about your money blocks and the stories that you tell yourself that will keep you small.
Using this affirmation means that you might need to clear some money blocks
that are getting in your way right now. This is what a wealthy woman looks like.
But, if you keep on using it, whenever you catch yourself thinking, "I can't be wealthy
because of," whatever. You'll interrupt the pattern and then you remind yourself that
you can be wealthy if you want to as well. You'll start to believe that it's possible for
you as well, exactly how you are now. Which affirmation is your favorite and
which one are you going to use? You can write them on your mirror, you can write
them on your computer. It will take a little bit of an effort to remember, but if you
can get into the habit, I promise you that you're going to see huge results in a very
short time. Remember, you get what you focus on. Train your brain to focus on the
positive and it will boost your manifesting efforts. If you need some ideas for some
