Affirmations can be a very powerful tool in helping you transform your life. Self-talked statements leave a mark on your subconscious mind before it becomes a natural behavior. Consistency is key for results because affirmations gain their power from repetition. Here are some affirmations to get you started on your personal journey. Practice these affirmations at least twice a day (upon waking up, and before going to sleep).  In addition, whenever you experience happiness, say the affirmation out loud. This reinforces the affirmation. In practical alchemy, write them down on a note and make them visible in your home: on the fridge, on the bathroom mirror, by your bedside, in a cute frame in your living room. Applying these affirmations into your lifestyle is how you achieve practical alchemy.
