The Book
I don’t want to figure out how long it took me to write this book.
In truth, I didn’t write it. I transcribed it. Ideas came to me. I organized them and fixed the grammar (with Laurie’s help). The ideas are not mine although I certainly agree with them.
The work I did on this book stands on the shoulders of Louise Hay, the Forever Queen of Affirmations. She was a gracious lady whom I was honored to meet at a Hay House Writer’s Workshop.
Affirm Yourself is divided into four sections:
- An introduction to the Voice in Your Head and the problems that mine has been causing me.
- The Primacy of Thought; proof that your thoughts influence who you are and what you do.
- Why you should learn to write your own personal affirmations and how to do it.
- How to practice using affirmations.
The book is full of exercises to give you practice writing and revising your own affirmations as you learn to use them.

These chapters focus on the nature of the Voice in Your Head. If you just heard “yourself” say: “What Voice? I don’t hear any voice in my head.” — that’s it! That’s the voice I am pointing to. These two chapters are all about:
- becoming aware of what that Voice is telling you.
- understanding what purpose that Voice served your ancestors and what it is doing for/to you now,
- appreciating what your Voice’s purpose is,
- assessing the impact this Voice is having on your life now,
- understanding why it can be challenging to change a behavior that the Voice ‘wants’ you to do.
