It is important to phrase affirmations in the now if you are going to do them right. Let’s take a look at two example affirmations: “I will be a happy.” and “I am a happy person.”
The first affirmation has somewhat of a subconsciously negative connotation as it implies to the affirmer that he/she is currently un-happy. Also, if the affirmer keeps repeating this, it will seem like an he/she is stuck in a endless state of wanting and not having reached the end-goal.
The second affirmation however programs a state of inner being into you, one that of happiness, as stated by the affirmation. From within, flowing outward to reality. See how that is better? Run through your regular affirmations and see if you can improve them with this simple but effective tip.
