Improve Sports - Affirmations

Below is an assortment of sports performance affirmations.

Choose the ones you feel an attunement with.

Affirmations condition the subconscious mind which then influences your consciousness.

They can be used in several ways. You can choose one method below or a combination.

• You might want to write them daily in a journal.



• Read them to yourself or aloud.



• Post your favorites on cards and either carry them with you or tape affirmation cards where you will see them throughout the day.



• Make a recording in your own voice and play it as you fall into sleep is a very effective method.

As you use your preferred method include mental visualization using as many of your five senses (sight, sound smell, taste, touch) as appropriate.

Also include different emotional feelings such as love, protection, nurturing, joy. Emotion is a fuel which makes affirmations more powerful.

Be aware of breathing deep into the abdomen. As if you are sending the energy inside yourself.

You can add your own affirmations.

Write them in present tense.

Write what you want, no “reverse” positives which would be using words such as no, never, not or don’t. For instance – I never strike out. The correct version is I always hit the ball exactly where I want it.

You can personalize these affirmations to your sport by adding the name of your sport, position you play or equipment you use.

At the end of the affirmation list I give some examples of how you might add your sport to the affirmations that you like.
