Affirmations

In the last issue of CorporateCoach I included my Demartini inspired mission statement summary.

I had been able to develop this as a result of seeing John Demartini's own mission statement, and my example last week was well received.

This week, therefore, I am repeating the exercise.

For several years I was tempted to write some affirmations, but could not get my head around the concept. Then I was given some examples by the Centerpointe Research Institute for their Holosync system, and also found some in MindMovies. All fell into place.

So here is an example from my affirmations list. As before, I am only including the summary section. I also have sections for: - Spirituality, Friends and Family, Contribution and Appreciation, Business, Health, and Wealth, followed by another set of summary affirmations.

I get rich doing what I love; adding value to other peopleâ??s lives
I am open to miracles
I earn enough passive income to pay for my desired lifestyle
I am a much sought after coach and facilitator, who provides fantastic value
I attract colleagues, partners and opportunities to help my businesses grow
I am seen by others as loving, confident, attractive, and personable
I enjoy being rewarded for my contribution
Money brings me freedom and opportunity
I am fit, healthy, happy and fulfilled
I am wealthy beyond my imagination

I also have a set of visualisations supported by photographs.

These various psychological games can be used in different ways, and I tend to take different approaches on different days.

Each of these statements is a standard, a benchmark, that you are setting for your life.

The classic approach is to read them out with emotion; especially loudly with positive, physical actions. Alternatively, you can stop and visualise each one as being already true; or use one or more as the basis for meditation.

Selecting an appropriate representation is also important. I have three photographs to support traveling business class. The picture of an Emirates business class cabin does nothing for me; the picture of a steward serving champagne is better; but the one that really resonates is the picture of a business class meal tray. It is the food and service, rather than the leg room, that I value and this picture is exactly what I see when travelling business class, and what I fantasize about ;-).

I am pleased to welcome Krishna Kumar (KK) as a visiting author this week. He and I are planning a major new initiative in Bangalore and this is the first step in launching an Asia edition of CorporateCoach. Both he and Stefan Powell promise that their articles are the first of a series, which will be very welcome in supplementing my own writings. If you would like to contribute, and raise your global profile, please contact me.

This is the last week of July. Our next issue of CorporateCoach is due in September. If you are in the northern hemisphere, I wish you a great holiday.
