Effective (Topic-)Umbrella Affirmations

hi lovelies!

Here is how i create effective umbrella affirmations for specific aspects of my life :)

remember that just because i do it this way doesn’t mean it is the only way or that you have to use umbrella affirmations at all

i do this as opposed to listing every affirmation about how i want that part of my life to be because it is just easier. The process is less about the final umbrella affirmation and more about feeling comfortable and certain that you know what the umbrella affirmation will bring you!

Of course you don’t have to do this, i personally struggle with using umbrella affirmations without this process because i enjoy being very specific about my desires hehe.

this is gonna be a very short post, because it is a simple process.

1. Decide on the topic

e.g. Uni life

2. Ask myself what that aspect of my life would ideally be like

I make little lists of all the aspects:

e.g.

Grades: effortlessly get the highest grades in my cohort, only get 9’s and 10’s, easy assignments, retain lecture information long term, All the material is easy for me to understand

Social: lectures with my best friends, good group work partners, fun and effective study seshes, well liked by my mentors, always invited to house parties and nights out,

etc

3. Umbrella Affirmations time!

now you can pick a simple short affirmation, like for this example “i love my perfect uni life”, because you have made clear for yourself what that perfect life looks like for you! You can use I am or I have statements, i personally like to use ‘i love’ because of the way it makes me feel. Find something that feels comfortable or fun for you to say, you can also have an askfirmation as your umbrella affirmation if you like!

This process for me helps me prevent extra resistance towards my affirmations and avoids tiring me out from needing to name endless affirmations about how my life looks. To me umbrella affirmations start me questioning on what my perfect life is, etc, so once i am sure on exactly what it is then i feel more comfortable and trusting when affirming for it,

I do, however, use a multitude of affirmations when i am rampaging! but for the rest i find it easy to both mindlessly and consciously affirm with a short umbrella affirmation.

Love,
