Last month, I shared my article, 31 Affirmations for the Month of December, and so many of you joined in, that we’re doing it again for January!

Here’s to wishing you a Happy New Year in 2018. The year 2018, 2+0+1+8=11, 1+1=2 (reduced to the number 2) in numerology means a year of completion and of relationships and cooperation.

What is an affirmation?

It is a short, powerful statement used to consciously affect your thoughts in a positive way. We have an estimated 50,000 thoughts a day and most of them are not pretty. Often, we are very critical of ourselves. We would not dream of talking to another the way we “speak” to ourselves in our inner dialogue.

Today, your invitation is to embrace this exercise of reciting an affirmation each day during the month of January. Doing this will help to positively transform your thoughts (and your life) for the better.

An affirmation only needs to feel about 50% true for it to resonate with you, dear one.

By stating an affirmation, you are calling that intention to you using the powerful Law of Attraction. By speaking the affirmation out loud, it becomes even more powerful as you are activating your throat chakra.

Traditionally, the month of January is the time we jump into new beginnings and new habits after the excess and celebrations of our year-end festivities. Let’s profoundly change the trajectory of our thoughts with these affirmations and begin the year with a powerful shift of consciousness.

Affirmations that begin with the words “I am” are especially powerful.  Whatever follows the “I am” becomes your truth.

Be vigilant with the statements you think and say about yourself.  You want to select empowering statements that improve the energy vibration of your life.  For example, if you say, “I am tired, I am sick, I am broke, I am stuck…” you are calling more of that low energy toward you. You can shift those thoughts with more energizing and empowering statements such as “I am getting the rest I need, I am taking time to replenish myself, I am good with money, I am excited about…”

These slight shifts have a powerful, transformative effect on the quality of your day and your life. Can you invest one minute a day on yourself to consciously improve your thoughts and your life this year? Can you afford not to?

Please join me in reciting, reflecting and/or pondering the list below. 31 days of affirmations for January; one affirmation for each day of the month.
