Top Affirmation Synonyms

There are many synonyms for affirmations that can help you grasp the concept better, and they help to describe the spectrum that is affirmations more effectively. These include:

Assertion

A statement that you strongly believe is true. a positive statement or declaration, often without support or reason. To assert is to state with force. So if someone makes an assertion, they’re not just testing out a concept — they really mean it.

An assertion is an affirmation synonym that  can also be used without words. When your cat urinates in multiple places up and down your property , he’s making an assertion of his dominance (also called “marking”) over his “territory.”

Asseveration:

The act of asserting, or that which is asserted; Is a positive declaration or averment like an affirmation its a statement of intent a declaration of one’s position statement asserted; position advanced.

When you recognise the truth or authority of something this us an assertion. The solemn or emphatic declaration or statement of something.

Avouchment:

a statement asserting the existence or the truth of something. You are vouching for the realness of something.

Avowal

An open statement in which you vouch or confess something that you are convinced of. It could even be something you support or have an intention to do. A statement of intent like this repeated enough would become one’s belief.

Claim

Ones again just like an assertion, one is stating that something is the case without any tangible proof.

When you ask for something that your convinced you have the right to. I could quite easily begin to claim I’m wealthy without evidence.

However in the context of this article if I were to continue to claim I am wealthy, my belief would make it so.

 Declaration

How often should you say your affirmations?

Affirmations can be life changing.

One question a lot of people ask me is: How often should I say my affirmations? Actually there’s no hard and fast rule, but at least three times a day is recommended.

This is often enough to get the messages through to your subconscious mind. Certainly, you can always recite them whenever you have a spare moment and don’t have to concentrate on anything else.

That’s why a mantra makes sense because it’s easy to remember – otherwise, you can always carry notes or have it as a screen saver on your smartphone.

Always Say It In The Present Tense.

Reciting positive, believable affirmations every day not only cements them into your subconscious mind so that they become a part of your psyche, but it also brings another, interesting phenomenon into play your subconscious mind.

Much has been written about this phenomenon and how powerful it can be. But did you know that affirmations is one of the most effective ways of Impressing the subconscious.

This is why you should always recite a positive affirmation, and why you should always keep it in the present tense –

Be sure to avoid using negative language – even in a positive context. Something like: “I’m worthy of a better job than this one.” will be much more effective than “I’m not going to put up with this job for much longer.”
