Today I want to talk about the power of short positive affirmations and tell you why I really love this kind of affirmation and how you can use them to create a life you love.
Affirmations are simply positive statements that we can really use to support us in creating the life we want.
As with many things in life, people often complicate them and feel like they have to create long, in-depth affirmations for them to be effective.
The reality is that short and to-the-point affirmations are incredibly powerful and so much easier to remember.
Short positive affirmations should be clear and specific then they will have the power to really be life-changing. For example…
- I am successful
- I have a thriving business
- I am strong and healthy…
Affirmations and the law of attraction
The law of attraction responds to your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, the things you say, and the things you do.
Affirmations help to focus your thoughts, they help to shift your beliefs so that they support you, they shape the things you actually say and they can dramatically change the way you feel.
You can see why I love affirmations overall. I encourage you to read my full AFFIRMATIONS GUIDE even if you’re already familiar with using them. There are some great tips to try out.
Why I love short positive affirmations
It’s simple, I love short affirmations because they work, they’re easy to remember and they get straight to the point.
People create complicated messages and they have a list of this kind of affirmation to read through.
Now, this is all well and good but, I really want you to use your affirmations throughout the day, not just when you’re reading from a sheet of paper.
One of the most powerful affirmations ever is “I can!” That’s it – but it says so much doesn’t it?
I CAN… Thought swaps
- I can’t complete this workout! – Affirmation – I CAN!
- I can’t get out of debt! – Affirmation – I CAN!
- I can’t get out of bed!- I CAN!
- I can’t get a new job! – I CAN!
- I can’t do this! – I CAN!
Whenever you catch yourself thinking or saying “I can’t…” swap it for “I CAN!”
I am… Affirmations
I am affirmations are really powerful because they focus directly on who you are. I’d love you to read more on this subject, go to The Power of I am… Affirmations
- I’m not enough – I AM ENOUGH!
- I’m not clever enough – I AM clever enough!
- I’m not confident – I AM confident
- I’m not good with money – I AM good with money

I want to give you some more ideas but you really can use this any way you want.

Combine your short affirmations with EFT
If you feel like your affirmation is a lie, try this… Combine your affirmation with EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques).
If you don’t know what EFT is yet, read my easy EFT GUIDE and then EFT AND AFFIRMATIONS. It’s super easy to learn and use.
Using your affirmations with EFT will help to release any resistance to your affirmation. It will help to raise your vibrations, so that you feel really positive about the affirmation and become more of a match for it becoming true for you.
Simply tap on the EFT points saying your chosen affirmation. You can use a collection of different affirmations or just one. I personally like to stick to just one, especially if it’s something I really want to work on.
