You've probably heard of the power of affirmations to help you to achieve the life of wealth and abundance you've always wanted. But what exactly is an affirmation?

In The Wealthy Pauper Fabio Marciano explains what affirmations are and how they work very well. He says "An affirmation is nothing more than a positive statement that is usually spoken or written that affirms what you want out of life. The idea behind this little technique is to condition and program your subconscious mind."

As mentioned, the main purpose of affirmations is to reprogram the subconscious mind and to change negative dis-empowering beliefs into positive empowering ones.

In order for affirmations to work, they must meet five criteria.
1. Affirmations must be written in the present tense. "I am wealthy" rather than "I will be wealthy."
2. Affirmations must also be positive and focused on what you do want rather than on what you don't want.
3. Each affirmation needs to be focused on one end goal.
4. The affirmations you use should motivate and excite you. If they don't, then it's highly unlikely that they will work.
5. You must attach emotion to your affirmations. Say them out loud and with conviction and enthusiasm. The more positive emotion you can inject into your affirmations, the sooner you will see results.

Work on only one or two areas of your life at a time. Create as many affirmations as you would like for these one or two areas and then repeat them until you have made the desired improvements. Then move onto the next area that you would like to improve.
