Incantations
Incantations take affirmations a step further and make them PHYSICAL. An incantation is a
phrase or language pattern that is said out loud and with an engaged physiology. Putting
affirmations into motion engages more of your brain and makes it more real.
Incantations are also spoken OUT LOUD. This also sends additional signals to your brain that
you are SERIOUS. If you must do your incantation when other people are around and you don’t
want to draw undo attention to yourself, you can do it silently—but whenever you can, say it out
loud.
Incantations can be a whole phrase like an affirmation, or they can be a short phrase such as “I
am confident!”
What affirmations (from your affirmation activity) would you like to use as an incantating? Or,
you can write a new one.
What movement could you make while reciting this incantation? (Examples: Raise your hands in
the air like you’re cheering, pull in your elbow as if you’re saying “yes!”, jump up and down or
dance.)
Next, pick a certain time that you will practice your incantation EVERY DAY. Be specific so
that it’s easy to habituate it. For instance, you can do it right after you brush your teeth.
