45
and listen to my heart i am at peace in my world
46
and affairs i trust the process of life we are learning how life works It's like learning your computer.
47
When you first get a computer, you learn the simple basic processes, how to turn it on and off, and how to open and save a document, how to print.
48
And on that level, your computer works wonders for you.
49
And yet, there is so much more that it can do for you when you learn more of its ways.
50
It's the same thing with life.
51
The more we learn how it works, the more wonders it performs for us.
52
There is a rhythm and flow to life and I am part of it.
53
Life supports me and brings me only good and positive experiences.
54
I trust the process of life to bring me my highest good.
55
I have the perfect living space.
56
Our living space is always an outpicturing of our current state of consciousness.
57
If we hate where we live now, then no matter where we move, we will end up hating that too.

Thank it for providing for your needs.
60
Say that you are moving on and that wonderful new people are moving in to take your place.
61
Leave love when you move and you will feel love in the new place.
62

Of course, that is exactly what I found.
64
My home is filled with the vibration of love.

I see myself living in a wonderful place.

It fulfills all my needs and desires.
67
It is in a beautiful location, and it is at a price I can easily afford.
68
I can release the past and forgive everyone.
69
We may not want to let go of old hurts, but holding on to them keeps us stuck.
70
When I let go of the past, my present moment becomes richer and fuller.
71
I free myself and everyone in my life from old past hurts.
72
They are free and I am free to move into new glorious experiences.
73
The point of power is always in the present moment.
74
No matter how long you've had a problem, you can begin to change in this moment.
75
For as you change your thinking, your life also changes.
76
The past is over and done and has no power over me.
77
I can begin to be free in this moment.
78
today's thoughts create my future I am in charge I now take my own power back I am safe
79
and I am free I am safe it's only change what
80
we believe becomes true for us the more we trust life
81
the more life is there for us I cross all bridges with joy and ease.
82
The old unfolds into wonderful new experiences.
83
My life gets better all the time.
84
I am willing to change.
85
We all want life to change and other people to change, but nothing in our world will change until we are willing to make changes in ourselves.
86
We often cling so tightly to habits and beliefs that no longer serve us in a positive way.
87
I am willing to release old negative beliefs.
88
They are only thoughts that stand in my way.
89
My new thoughts are positive and fulfilling.
90
It's only a thought and a thought can be changed.
91
The most frightening scenarios we can conceive of are only thoughts.
92
We can easily refuse to scare ourselves in this way.
93
You want your thoughts to be your best friends, thoughts that shape your world in a positive way,
94
comforting thoughts, loving thoughts, friendly thoughts, laughing thoughts, thoughts of wisdom and upliftment.
95
I am not limited by any past thinking.
96
I choose my thoughts with care.
97
I I constantly have new insights and new ways of looking at my world.
98
I am willing to change and to grow.
99
Every thought I think is creating my future.
100
I am constantly aware of my thoughts.
101
I am like a shepherd with a flock of sheep, and if one goes astray, I lovingly herd it back in line.
102
If I notice an unloving, unkind thought going astray, I quickly and consciously replace it with a kind and loving one.
103
The universe is always listening and responding to my thinking process.
104
I keep the line as clean and clear as I can.

106
I have unlimited choices about what I can think.
107
I choose balance, harmony and peace and I express it in my life.
108
There is no blame.
109
If we walk a mile in someone else's shoes, then we understand why they behave the way that they do.
110
We were all born beautiful little babies, totally open and trusting of life, with lots of self-worth and self-esteem.
111
If we are not that way now, then somewhere along the line someone taught us otherwise, we can unlearn the negativity.
112
I release the need to blame anyone, including myself.
113
we are all doing the best we can with the understanding knowledge
114
and awareness that we have I let go of all expectations
115
if we don't have specific expectations then we cannot be disappointed
116
but if we love ourselves and know
117
that only good lies before us then it doesn't matter what comes up because it will be fulfilling.
118
I flow freely and lovingly with life.
119
I love myself.
120
I know that only good awaits me at every turn.
121
I see clearly.
122
The unwillingness to see certain aspects of our lives can cloud our vision.
123
This unwillingness to see is often a form of protection.
124
Optometrists do little to cure eye problems.
125
They only prescribe stronger and stronger glasses.
126
Poor nutrition can also contribute to poor eyesight.
127
I release all the things from my past that cloud my vision.
128
I see the perfection in all of life.
129
I willingly forgive.
130
I breathe love into my vision, and I see with compassion and understanding.
131

132
I am safe in the universe and all life loves and supports me.
133
I carry this affirmation in my wallet.
134
Whenever I reach for money, I see I am safe in the universe and all life loves and supports me.
135
It is a good reminder of what is really important in my life.
136
I breathe in the fullness and richness of life.
137
I observe with joy as life abundantly supports me and supplies me with more good than I can imagine.
138
My life is a mirror.
139
Every person in my life is a reflection of some part of me.
140
The people I love reflect the loving aspects of myself.
141
The people I dislike reflect those parts of myself that need healing.
142
every experience in life is an opportunity for growth
143
and healing the people in my life are really mirrors of me this affords me the opportunity to grow
144
and to change I balance my masculine and feminine sides we all contain masculine
145
and feminine aspects when these two sides are in balance then we are whole and complete.
146
The totally macho man is not in touch with the intuitive side of himself,
147
and a weak, wispy, feminine woman is not expressing the strong, intelligent side of herself.
148
We all need both sides.
149
The masculine and feminine parts of me are in perfect balance and harmony.
150
I am at peace and all is well.
151
Freedom is my divine right.
152
We are put on this planet with total freedom and we make these choices in our minds.
153
No person, place or thing can think for us if we do not allow it.
154
We are the only person who thinks in our mind.
155
In our minds we have total freedom.
156
What we choose to think and believe can change our current circumstances beyond recognition.
157
I am free to think wonderful thoughts.
158
I move beyond past limitations into freedom.
159
I am now becoming all that I am created to be.
160
I release all fears and doubts.
161
Fears and Our doubts are only delay mechanisms that keep us from having the good we say we want in our lives.
162
So let them go.
163
I now choose to free myself from all destructive fears and doubts.
164
I accept myself and create peace in my mind and heart.
165
I am loved and I am safe.
166
Divine Wisdom Guides Me.
167
Too many of us are unaware that we have within us an inner wisdom that is always on our side.
168
We don't pay attention to our intuition and then we wonder why life does not work well.
169
Learn to listen to your inner voice.
170
You do know exactly what to do.
171
I am guided throughout this day in making right choices.
172
Divine intelligence continuously guides me in the realization of my goals, and I am safe.
173
I love life.
174
Every morning when I wake up, I get to experience another great day, a day I've never lived before.
175
It will have its own special experiences, and I'm glad to be alive.
176
It is my birthright to live fully and freely.
177
I give to life exactly what I want life to give to me.
178
I am glad to be alive.
179
I love life.
180
I love my body.
181
I'm so delighted to live in my wonderful body.
182
It has been given to me to use for the rest of my life, and I cherish it and take loving care of it.
183
My body is precious to me.
184
I love every inch of it inside and out, that which I see and that which I don't see,
185
every organ and gland, every muscle and bone, every single cell.
186
My body responds to this loving attention by giving me vibrant health and aliveness.
187
I create peacefulness in my mind and my body reflects this peacefulness as perfect health.
188
I turn every experience into an opportunity.
189
When I experience a problem, and we all have them, I immediately say, out of this situation only good will come.
190
This is easily resolved for the highest good of all concerned.
191
All is well, and I am safe.
192
I repeat this statement over and over.
193
It keeps me calm and allows the universe to find the best solution.
194
I am often amazed to see how quickly the issue can be resolved in a way that benefits everyone.
195
Each problem has a solution.
196
All experiences are opportunities for me to learn and grow and I am safe.
197
I am at peace.
198
Deep at the center of my being there is an infinite well of peace, like a mountain lake, deep and serene.
199
No person, place, or outer chaos can touch me when I am in this space.
200
In this space, I am calm.
201
I think clearly, I receive divine ideas, and I am so peaceful.
202
Divine peace and harmony surround me and dwell in me.
203
I feel tolerance, compassion, and love for all people, myself included.
204
I am flexible and flowing.
205
Life is a series of changes.
206
Those of us who are rigid and inflexible in our thinking often snap when the winds of change blow.
207
But those of us who are like willow trees bend easily and adapt to the new changes.
208
If we refuse to change, then life passes us by and we get left behind.
209
Just as a flexible body is more comfortable to be in, so is a flexible mind more comfortable to live in.
210
I am open to the new and changing.
211
Every moment presents a wonderful new opportunity to become more of who I am.
212
I flow with life easily and effortlessly.
213
I now go beyond other people's fears and limitations.
214
I am not my mother's fears and limitations, nor am I my father's fears and limitations.
215
I'm not even my own fears and limitations.
216
These are only false thoughts that have been hanging around in my mind.
217
I can erase them as easily as I can clean a dirty window.
218
When the window of my mind is clean, I can see clearly the negative thoughts for what they are, and I can choose to eliminate them.
219
It is my mind that creates my experiences.
220
I am unlimited in my own ability to create the good in my life.
221
I am worth loving.
222
So many of us were taught conditional love.
223
Therefore we believe that we need to earn love.
224
We feel that we are not lovable if we don't have a great job
225
or a good relationship or a body like a model.
226
This is nonsense.
227
We do not have to earn the right to breathe.
228
It is God-given because we exist.
229
So, too, is the right to love and be loved.
230
The fact that we exist means that we are worth loving.
231
I do not have to earn love.
232
I am lovable because I exist and others reflect the love I have for myself.
233
My thoughts are creative.
234
I have learned to love my thoughts.
235
They are my best friends.
236
I say out to every negative thought that comes to my mind.
237
No person, place or thing has any power over me, for I am the only thinker in my mind.
238
I create my own reality and everyone in it.
239
I am at peace with my sexuality.
240
I believe that in many lifetimes I have experienced every sort of sexuality.
241
I have been male and female, heterosexual and homosexual.
242
Sometimes society has approved of my sexuality and sometimes it has not.
243
My sexuality has always been a learning experience for me, as it is in this lifetime.
244
Yet I know that my soul has no sexuality.
245
I rejoice in my sexuality and in my own body.
246
My body is perfect for me this lifetime.
247
I embrace myself with love and compassion.
248
I am at peace with my age.
249
For me, it is always now.
250
Yes, the numbers add up with time, but I feel as young or as old as I choose to feel.
251
There are people at 20 who are ancient and there are people at 90 who are young.
252
I know I came to this planet to experience every age and they are all good.
253
Each age unfolds into the next as easily as I allow it to happen.
254
I keep my mind healthy and happy and my body follows suit.
255
I am at peace with where I am in time and I look forward to all my precious days.
256
Each age has its own special joys and experiences.
257
I am always the perfect age for where I am in life.
258
The past is over.
259
I cannot go back in time except in my mind.
260
I can choose to replay yesterday if I want.
261
But replaying yesterday takes away precious moments out of today.
262
Moments that once gone cannot be retrieved.
263
So I let yesterday be gone, and I turn my total attention to this moment of today.
264
This is my special moment, and I rejoice in it.
265
This is a new day, one that I have never lived before.
266
I stay in the now and enjoy each and every moment.
267
I release all criticism.
268
People who are self-righteous and judgmental have the most self-hatred of all, Because they refuse to change themselves,
269
they point their fingers at everyone else.
270
They see wrong everywhere.
271
Because they are so critical, they attract much to criticize.
272
One of the most important decisions we can make for our
273
own spiritual growth is to totally release all criticism of others and most of all of ourselves.
274
We always have the option of thinking kind thoughts, unkind thoughts, or neutral thoughts.
275
The more kind and loving thoughts we have, the more kindness and love we will attract in our lives.
276
I only give out that which I wish to receive in return.
277
My love and acceptance of others is mirrored to me in every moment.
278
I am willing to let go.
279
I know that each person has divine guidance and wisdom within them, so I do not have to run their lives for them.
280
I am not here to control others.
281
I am here to heal my own life.
282
People come into my life at the right time.
283
We share the time we are meant to have together, and then at the perfect time they leave and I lovingly let go.
284
I release others to experience whatever is meaningful to them, and I am free to create that which is meaningful to me.
285
I see my parents as tiny children who need love.
286
When we have problems with our parents, we often forget that they too were once innocent babies.
287
Who taught them to be hurtful?
288
How can we help them heal their pain?
289
We all need love and healing.
290
I have compassion for my parents' childhoods.
291
I now know I chose them because they were perfect for what I had to learn.
292
I forgive them and set them free and I set myself free.
293
My home is a peaceful haven.
294
Homes that are loved and appreciated radiate that love.
295
Even if you are there for a short time, be sure you put your love into the rooms.
296
And if you have a garage, put love there too and keep it neat and tidy hang a picture or something attractive,
297
so when you first come home, you enter through beauty.
298
I bless my home with love.
299
I put love in every corner and my home lovingly responds with warmth and comfort.
300
I am at peace.
301
As I say yes to life, life says yes to me.
302
Life has always said yes to you, even when you were creating negativity.
303
Now
304
that you are aware of this law life you can choose
305
to create your positive future life mirrors my every thought as I keep my thoughts positive life brings me only good experiences
306
there is plenty for everyone including me there is
307
so much food on this planet
308
that we could feed everyone yes there are people who are starving
309
but it is not the lack of food it is the lack of love
310
that allows this to happen there is so much money and
311
so many riches in the world far more than we know
312
if it were all distributed equally within a month or
313
so those who have money now would have more and those who are poor now would once again be poor
314
for wealth has to do with consciousness
315
and deservability there are billions of people on this planet yet you will hear people tell you
316
that they are lonely if we don't reach out love cannot find us
317
so as i affirm my self-worth and my deserve ability that
318
which i need comes to me in the perfect time space

availability the ocean of life is lavish with its abundance all my needs and desires are met before I even ask.
320
My good comes from everywhere and everyone and everything.
321
All is well in my world.
322
My life has always worked perfectly, only I did not know it.
323
I didn't realize that every negative event in my world was life reflecting back to me my belief system.
324
Now that I am aware, I can consciously program my thinking process to have a life that works on all levels.
325
Everything in my life works now and forevermore.
326
My work is deeply fulfilling.
327
When we learn to love what we do, then life sees to it that we will always have interesting creative occupations.
328
When you are ready emotionally and mentally for the next step in life, life will move you to it.
329
Give your best to life today.
330
I do what I love and love what I do.
331
I know that I am always working in the right place with just the right people
332
and that I learn all of the valuable lessons my soul needs to learn.

339
I now live in limitless love, light and joy.
340
All is well in my world.
341
I open new doors to life.
342
As I walk down the corridor of life, there are doors on every side.
343
Each one opens to a new experience.
344
The more I clear the negative thought patterns from my mind, the more I find doors that open to only good experiences.
345
My clarity of thinking brings to me the best that life has to offer.
346
I rejoice in what I have, and I know fresh new experiences are always ahead of me.
347
I greet the new with open arms.
348
I trust life to be wonderful.
349
I claim my own power and I lovingly create my own reality.
350
No one can do it for you.
351
Only you can make your own declarations in your mind.
352
If you give your power to others, then you have none.
353
When you claim your power, it is yours.
354
Use it wisely.
355
I ask for more understanding so that I may knowingly and lovingly shape my world and my experiences.
356
I now create a wonderful new job.
357
Bless your current job with love and release it with love to the next person who takes your place, knowing that you are moving into a new level of life.
358

359
I am totally open and receptive to a wonderful new position using my creative talents and abilities,
360
working with and for people I love in a wonderful location and earning good money.
361
Everything I touch is a success.
362
We always have the option of poverty thinking or prosperity thinking.
363
When we think thoughts of lack and limitation, then that is what we experience.
364
There is no way you can be prosperous if your thinking is impoverished.
365
To be successful, you need to constantly think thoughts of prosperity and abundance.
366
I now establish a new awareness of success.
367
I know I can be as successful as I make my mind up to be.
368
I move into the winning circle.
369
Golden opportunities are everywhere for me.
370
Prosperity of every kind is drawn to me.
371
I am open and receptive to new avenues of income.
372
When we are open and receptive, life will find many ways to bring income to us.
373
As we know and affirm that we deserve all good, the infinite source will open new channels.
374
We often limit our own good by believing in fixed income and other closed ideas.
375
Opening our consciousness opens the banks of heaven.
376
I now receive my good from expected and unexpected sources.
377
I am an unlimited being accepting from an unlimited source in an unlimited way.
378
I am blessed beyond my fondest dreams.
379
I deserve the best and I accept the best now.
380
The only thing that keeps us from having the good in our life is that we don't believe we deserve it.
381
Somewhere in childhood we learned that we didn't deserve and we believed it.
382
Now it is time to release that belief.
383
I am mentally and emotionally equipped to enjoy a prosperous and loving life.
384
It is my birthright to deserve all good.
385
I claim my good now.
386
Life is simple and easy.
387
The laws of life are simple, far too simple for many people who want to struggle and complicate things.
388
What you give out comes back to you.
389
What you believe about yourself and about life becomes true for you.
390
It is that simple.
391
All I need to know at any given moment is revealed to me.
392
I trust myself and I trust life and all is well.

What You'll Practice in This Lesson
Ready to boost your English speaking skills while exploring positive affirmations? This lesson uses a calming meditation video to practice shadow speak—a technique where you repeat phrases aloud right after hearing them. You’ll improve pronunciation, fluency, and even pick up mindset tips! It’s perfect for IELTS speaking practice too, as it builds confidence in expressing complex ideas smoothly.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases to Master
- Affirmation: A positive statement to boost self-belief (e.g., "I am safe").
- Subconscious mind: The part of your mind that influences thoughts without you noticing.
- Fertilizing the soil (metaphor): Nourishing your mind with positive ideas.
- Self-righteous resentment: Anger from thinking you’re always right.
- Intuition: A gut feeling that guides you (e.g., "I trust my intuition").
Practice Tips for Shadowing Success
The video’s slow, soothing tone makes it ideal for shadowspeak. Start by listening once to absorb the rhythm. Then, pause after each sentence and repeat it—focus on matching the calm pace. This helps with IELTS speaking practice by training you to speak clearly under pressure. For tricky phrases like "forgiveness is a gift to myself," break them into chunks: "forgiveness / is a gift / to myself." Repeat 3x to nail the flow. Remember, shadow speech isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress! Even 5 minutes a day will make you more comfortable with natural English intonation. Try it today, and you’ll notice your confidence grow in no time.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
