Daily Affirmation Challenge, Day 3

Continue using the same affirmation you started with on day 1.  Remember, it can be your own or the one I'm using.

Affirmation: I love myself unconditionally. I love my body and all of its flaws. I am unique and perfect just the way I am. Love comes to me naturally and I know just how to share my love with those who I come into contact with.

Step 1: Stand or sit in front of the mirror. Chant OM 21 times to help clear your mind and raise your personal vibration. Then say the affirmation out loud 21 times to yourself in the mirror.

Step 2: In your notebook or journal, write Day 3 as the heading, then write your affirmation 21 times.

Step 3: Spend a few minutes in quiet meditation. This can be anywhere from 2-30 minutes, just spend some quiet time alone and enjoy the peace and serenity that washes over you at this time.

Go about the rest of your day. If any negative thoughts come up about your affirmation, stop, acknowledge those feelings and then just let them go. If you need to, repeat your affirmation to yourself a few times to help release the negativity you may have.

Here are the other days in the challenge. You can start with Day 1 any day and just follow along with the rest of the days in order.
Day 1
Day 2

Letting Go of the Ego

As humans, we all have an ego. Sometimes that ego gets in the way when we are trying to achieve dreams and goals. There are some people who only live through their ego. And you can usually tell who these people are because everything is always all about them. This didn't go right, that didn't go right, this person doesn't belong and the list goes on and on. Noticing those who live through their ego is easy if you are not always living through you ego.

It is something that we, as humans, cannot get around. It is always going to be there, but you have a choice to let it go and not live through your ego on a regular basis. You can live through your soul and heart most of the time and life will be so much more happier positive.

As stated above by Albert Einstein, the more knowledge you obtain, the lesser your ego will be present. This knowledge pertains to life experience. There are so many people out there who really think that by being older, they are so much smarter. But there are so many of these people who really only care about themselves and no one else. They live through their ego. Making others feel bad, makes them feel good. Putting others down, makes them feel good.

You can let go of your ego, by staying positive and not believing in the negative that is out there. Really believe that the Universe is helping you and everyone else. Don't put others down, help raise them up. By helping to raise someone else up, you are raising both yours and the other person's vibration to be happier. The happier you are from achieving immaterial things, the less ego that you have present.

Daily Affirmation Challenge, Day 1

As mentioned yesterday, I want to start an affirmation challenge with all of you. This challenge will last for 21 days and then I may start a new one after the first 21 days are up.

Here is what you need: a pen or pencil, a notebook or journal and a mirror.

You will need one affirmation that you will use each day for the next 21 days. You can use your own or use the one I'm going to use.

Affirmation: I love myself unconditionally. I love my body and all of its flaws. I am unique and perfect just the way I am. Love comes to me naturally and I know just how to share my love with those who I come into contact with.

Step 1: Stand or sit in front of the mirror. Chant OM 21 times to help clear your mind and raise your personal vibration. Then say the affirmation out loud 21 times to yourself in the mirror.

Step 2: In your notebook or journal, write Day 1 as the heading, then write your affirmation 21 times.

Step 3: Spend a few minutes in quiet meditation. This can be anywhere from 2-30 minutes, just spend some quiet time alone and enjoy the peace and serenity that washes over you at this time.

Go about the rest of your day. If any negative thoughts come up about your affirmation, stop, acknowledge those feelings and then just let them go. If you need to, repeat your affirmation to yourself a few times to help release the negativity you may have.

Daily Affirmations

I personally love daily affirmations. This is a very habit to get into starting each and every day.

Saying or writing your affirmations first thing in the morning is usually the best thing you can do. It helps you set the mood for the day by doing your daily affirmations.

An affirmation is usually something that you really want to believe or have, but aren't quite at the point of achieving that goal or item.

Here are some examples of affirmations:
I am worthy.
I am good enough.
I am achieving all of my dreams and goals.
I am successful.
I am gainfully employed as _____ at a salary of $______.
Money comes to me quickly and easily.
Life is so good!
I am unique.
I love myself unconditionally.
I love my body and all its flaws.
I release all that does not serve my highest good.

Affirmations can be used to just about anything you want to achieve in your life. They must be written in the present tense as if you already have exactly what it is you are looking to achieve. One of the best ways to practice your daily affirmations is to stand in front of a mirror, and say out loud your affirmation 21 times. By seeing yourself saying it, you can see the look on your own face when you really start to believe the affirmation. You can see the joy in your eyes about having what it is your affirmation is affirming.

I personally love to write out my affirmations. I write them every single morning. Sometimes I come up with more that I need to add to my list and I just add them when I really feel that I need them to be added.

If there is one specific thing you are looking to really manifest into your life, write yourself an affirmation about that item. Then for 21 days, write that affirmation 21 times each day. Fully believe in the outcome of it. After you are done writing that affirmation, really let it go for the rest of the day. Do your best not to think about it, but if you must think about, only think positive thoughts about it. Do NOT think about not having that item. If you continue to think about the lack of that item, you will continue to manifest the lack of that item. Think about how you feel with that item. Think about how it can improve your life. Feel all kinds of positive feelings about that item, if you really must think about that item.

Join me in my manifestation/affirmation challenge. I'll post daily about this challenge and what you need to do. There will be another post introducing the challenge coming up as well later today. Let me know what areas you would really like to manifest something special into your life in the next few hours and I'll work that into my challenge posts.

Need help with some more affirmations? Leave a comment. We can come up with some together. I'd love to help you manifest your desires in your life.

The Power of Numbers

I'm sure you've all heard about the making wish when you see 11:11 on any clock. You've all seen double and triple numbers, sometimes multiple times a day. I always see 5:55 at least once a day, but usually twice each day. Multiples of 3 are very important. As well as 17 and 68 seconds. Not to mention today is 12/22. But what do these are really mean?

The power of 17 and 68 seconds are two of the most important ones I've mentioned above. If you can think about one positive thought for 17 seconds and keep that thought going the whole 17 seconds, you are starting momentum with the universe about that thought. But there is a catch with this, the thought can be absolutely anything - negative or positive - and you will get that momentum going. So you need to learn not to let the negative thoughts trip you up. Work on thinking only positive thoughts and building that momentum around those positive thoughts. Don't think about what you don't have. Don't think about negative feelings. Build on the positive feelings and emotions and what you do have and what the Universe is bringing to you. Life is so much better in the positive.

68 seconds is simply 17 x 4. So you are increasing that momentum of a positive though and keeping it going. Once you reach that 68 second mark, the Universe is really starting to work in your favor or not your favor, depending on the thought you are thinking. Again, positive thinking really is the key here. Building momentum will help you keep the positive thinking going and it will work with you for manifesting.

Multiples of 3 are very important. If you read posts on Facebook and blogs about the number 21 (a multiple of 3), you may know what I'm talking about. I've read countless times about chanting Om 21 and 108 times. This will help you clear your mind of all thoughts by chanting the word Om. I also like to write affirmations 21 times. It normally takes about 17 seconds to write out one affirmation. Repeat that affirmation 21 times and just think about the momentum you are creating. While you are writing you can't think about much else but what you are writing because you will write something wrong. So that is one positive affirmation that you have written 21 times and worked on creating that momentum.

There is also double, triple and quadruple numbers sequences that you can see on a regular basis. Each of these number sequences do have a meaning of their own, but they simply mean that something in your life is increasing and you need to remain positive.

As humans, we make things so much more difficult than they really are because our ego gets in the way. Appreciate everything you have and think positive. Learn to override your ego and live in the moment, in the present time and just enjoy your life. Everything you need is coming to you just as you need it, if you let go of the negative thoughts and the thoughts of lack.

Forgiveness is YOUR Best Gift to Yourself!

This is so true. There are very few people out there who will apologize for hurting you, assuming something and being wrong, or just apologizing because they should and it's the right thing to do. The best thing you can do for yourself, to forgive them anyway. If you forgive them, you can move on. Forgiving them doesn't mean they were right or even that you accept what they did. It means that you are a bigger person and want to move on with your life. You aren't letting anyone else hold you back any longer. Forgive everyone and everything and you will feel much lighter and happier in your life.
Love, Clarissa

The Choice is YOURS

You have a choice each and every morning, so what are you going to do today? I always choose to chase my dreams. If you don't get up and chase them, they can't come true!

By chasing your dreams, you make every single day you spend here on this earth the next greatest day of your life. Keep living your life to the fullest and chasing those dreams. Never let your dreams die or for someone to tell you that you can't achieve something. All it takes is putting your mind to something and you will achieve it. It may not be easy, but it will be worth it. It will be worth all the blood, sweat, tears and time it takes to accomplish those dreams! Just NEVER, EVER give up!

Live your life to the fullest potential and just enjoy everything you have. Material things do not make our lives special. They may help us live a better life, but the material things don't make the world go round. It's the simple, immaterial things, like love, happiness, and joy that make the world go round. Live the life you want to live. Don't live by anyone else's standards, but your own. They aren't living your life, they don't have to deal with the choices you make on a regular basis. Make your choices for you and live the best life you can live. Show the world your happiness, joy and love and just enjoy your life!

Follow me on Pinterest and Twitter. I love sharing my dreams and goals and experiences with all of you. Share some of yours with me!

This Christmas

This is absolutely so true! As you get older, the immaterial things really matter most. This is a season of giving, giving from the heart. It doesn't matter how much money you have, it matters how much love you can give from your heart. Show others that you care. Donate time, donate food to those who can't buy their own food this holiday season, donate a gift for a child who would not have one otherwise, but most of all, donate your love. When you see someone who may need some extra love this Christmas, let them know you care, sometimes all it takes is a hug to let someone know. Do what you can to share your love that you carry deep in your heart. By making someone else's holiday season brighter, it brightens your own!
Love, Clarissa

On TOP of the World!

You know that feeling that you get when things are finally going your way and you are in a super good mood? Wait, you don't know that?!?! Well, you need to really start working on your Law of Attraction and how to manifest things into your life. :) Follow my blog a little bit more closely and do some research on your own and things will really come together.

I've been working on manifesting something in my life over the past several weeks and today it finally came to fruition! I feel on top of the world today and now it's time to really keep this momentum going and manifest so many more things on my vision board! And with today's manifestation, I am finally FREE! I am free from everyone and everything in my past. I let it go and I focus on the present and what the future has in store for me. Being a positive person really does pay off and it makes life so much better and happier!

What do you need help with in manifesting something or even letting something go? Let me know and we can work on it together. I would love to help you out! Each and everyone of us needs to learn to trust, believe and have faith! It really does work! I am living proof because I lost all faith a while ago, but I learned that I needed it in order to really continue on.

Do you want to be one of those people that just follows the crowd and when things don't go right for you, you just give up on your dreams? Please don't be one of those people. Start today, make a change and be who YOU want to be! It can be hard or it can be as easy as you want it to be. Start doing some research on the Law of Attraction, create your vision board (I swear it really does work!), read some books by Esther and Jerry Hicks and other books on the Law of Attraction (check out my page for what I'm reading for ideas) and read other books that are available as well. Expand your knowledge base and GROW!

Trust, believe and have faith!

Be the person you have always wanted to be, achieve your dreams and goals. Start today! Life doesn't wait for you, you have to take the bull by the horns and lead him in the direction you want to go. I promise you that no matter hard it is now, it will be totally worth it in the end!

Start Daily Affirmations

Daily affirmations are a great way for you to get into the mindset of manifesting and being positive. Sometimes I also use affirmations when I'm in a difficult situation and I need something to calm me. I'll say the affirmation for a few minutes straight to myself.

You can say them throughout the day. But it is good to get into a habit of saying them first thing in the morning with your Thank You!'s and last thing at night to help put you in a good spot for both starting the day and before falling asleep.

Here are some affirmations to get your started. You can use these, add to them, or create your own. They should always be positive.
I am happy and healthy.
Abundance flows to be quickly and easily.
I am unique.
I love myself unconditionally.
I am worthy.
I am good enough to achieve my dreams and goals.
Life is so good.
I have all that I need to make it through today perfectly.


I also like to write out my affirmations first thing in the morning. I've added it to my daily ritual. By writing them, it really helps to keep them easy and simple. Plus you can actually see them in print. If you have a photographic memory like I do, you can also see the page you have written these affirmations down on later in the day to remember them when you hit a rough spot in the day.

Hit me up for more ideas on affirmations if you need them, or just feel free to share yours. I love getting comments and I will respond! Follow me on Twitter and Pinterest.

Drop the Negativity

One of the biggest keys to achieving anything in life, whether it's what you want or not, is to let go of any negativity. If you think, "I want this, but..." you are sending out that negativity to the Universe. You are trying to manifest both the positive and the negative sides of what you want. Stop adding in the BUT. Stop doubting yourself. The Universe provides for you exactly what you want. If you continue to say, "I'm so tired of being sick", you are going to continue being sick because that is what you are putting out to the Universe. Instead, say "I'm so healthy all of the time." I always like to add in that I'm happy and healthy.

Also, when you think negative emotions - stress, sadness, depression, disgust, etc. - you are manifesting the negative. As soon as you realize those negative thoughts, stop what you are doing, release those thoughts and immediately think of something happy. I know we are all human and we are constantly thinking. We think over 60,000 thoughts a day. But the more negative thoughts you have, the more negative you are going to manifest into your life.

Remember how I said I hated my last job that I just lost? Well, I kept putting that thought out to the Universe and I do agree that that reason is a part of the reason why I lost my job. There are other reasons behind it, but I won't add that here. It doesn't relate. I put the thought that I hate my job out there for months. I also think it may be part of the reason why I couldn't find a new job. I couldn't get out of the mindset that there was a much better place out there for me, where I could love going to work again. But now, I'm only thinking about how I want to work a full time job that I absolutely love going to everyday. I'm not adding in anything else into my thoughts.

Put your positive thoughts out to the Universe. Don't doubt, don't put any buts in there, just have faith, trust and believe. The Universe is giving you exactly what you are thinking about. If you think negative, you will manifest the negative. If you think positive, but add in the negative, you'll manifest the negative. If you think positive, and only positive, you will finally manifest the positive.

Have faith, trust and believe! The Universe works for you!

Creating a Vision Board

One of the first steps of putting the Law of Attraction to work for you is to create a vision board. This board will be EVERYTHING you have for yourself as a dream for the future. Make sure you DREAM BIG!!

You know all of those dreams that you have had since you were a child for yourself - that dream house, dream car, special vacations, wedding, dream job, material items you want but can't afford right now, money in the bank, debt free - put it ALL on your board. Find pictures online, in magazines, in circulars and cut them out. This board be on a cork board, poster board, or even just the wall. I put mine on the wall, because for the time being, I don't have either of the others and taping my pictures to the wall was an easy way to display them in a place where I will see them EVERYDAY! You want to make sure your board is in a place that you will see it every day - home, work, your choice - but make sure you will see it everyday.

There is a reason why kids have always had those "crazy" dreams. They haven't learned how society makes us act like none of that exists anymore and to stop believing, until we start doing research and find that it all still does exist. Our dreams are real and we can have them. We just have to believe again and get rid of all of the negative thinking.

There are so many books out there to help us with this. The first book suggestion I will make is: The Secret. I'm sure you've heard of this book before. It became a very popular book a few years ago. Many of the daytime television shows talked about this book and showed cases where the book had showed success. They also created a movie about this book with success stories as well. I've listened to this movie on Netflix several times, I've even reactivated my Netflix account just to watch this movie three or four times in a month, then cancelled it again.

I've had a vision board on my to do list for about 2 years now and I just never got around to actually doing it. But that is changing TODAY. I've started my pictures and I'm just waiting for my printer ink to get here on Saturday to print out these pictures that I've found. I had a poster board, but never had the pictures to put it together. Well, I'm not waiting any longer to make this vision board and start manifesting my future. As soon as my ink gets here on Saturday, I'm going to start printing pictures and cutting them out. Then, I'm taping them to my wall in the form of a vision board to get this started and in my daily thoughts everyday in printed form and not just in my head. Having the thoughts in your head is still a good thing, but seeing it in print, whether it's written or pictures, really helps you keep the positive and SEE what you really want. It also puts it out to the universe what you really want as well.

Let's create your vision board!

Step One: DREAM! Really dream big! Go back to the days when you were a child and reincarnate those dreams that you wanted then. You know all those vacations you wanted to go on and never could because of other circumstances. That dream house you've always wanted, but never thought you could afford? You want a family someday, put a picture of a happy family on your vision board, with the type of family you want and how many children you want. You know all those dreams that you have for yourself, even if you haven't told them to anyone. Don't focus on making these dream realistic! The Law of Attraction works around realistic!

Step Two: VISUALIZE. It's time to sit down with your dream pictures. With each picture, create a movie in your mind about that dream coming true. Picture yourself 5 years in the future with each dream manifested. Show yourself a personal movie of how it came true! These visions should make you happy! If they don't then there is something in your dreams that you may need to change.

Step Three: CREATE! Just dreaming and visualizing is not enough to manifest your vision board dreams. You must create the actual board. As you put each picture on your vision board, play that movie of your visualization again.

Step Four: BELIEVE! Now you just have to believe. Even everything that is unrealistic will happen. You have put this out for the universe to see and it is very clear what you want since you have put the exact pictures of your dreams up for the universe and YOU to see each day. Take 10-15 minutes each morning (or evening, whatever works best for you) and visualize your life movie happening again. Make sure you keep all thoughts positive about your vision board. If you start to think that I can't have that. I'm not good enough for that. Then sure enough, the universe will put off that dream for you. Never think those thoughts about anything on your vision board. (You actually should stop thinking those thoughts completely if you really want the Law of Attraction to work for you.)

Make sure you DREAM BIG! Your life is exactly that which you make it. It can be really simple and amazing, or you can make it more difficult than it should be.
