WRITE AND REVIEW YOUR GOALS
The second method you can use to bring about rapid internal
changes to your thinking and your life is called the 
standard affirma-
tion technique
. This technique requires that you write out your major
goals in the form of present, positive, personal affirmations on
three-by-five index cards, one goal per card. You can work on 10 to
15 goals at a time using this method.
Carry these cards around with you. At the beginning of each
day, take a few minutes by yourself to review each goal.
Take the first card and read it. Perhaps the first card says, “I
earn $50,000 per year.” Read the card and let your eyes focus on
the message so that it is imprinted on your subconscious mind.
Then, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and repeat the affirma-
tion five times. As you affirm, visualize your goal as already
achieved. See it. Feel it. Then open your eyes, relax, exhale deeply,
and read the next card.
