What is an afformation?
An affirmation is something you say to yourself to get yourself to believe it. I am wonderful. I am divine. The idea being that the more you hear something, the more you will believe it. And that thinking positively brings positive results. The most mainstream presentation of this idea is in The Secret. If you think "I'm so broke", you will be broke. The trick is to change everything to a positive perspective.
An afformation operates on the same principle, but acknowledges that it is transFORMing you. It is also set in a question form. Our brains naturally want to answer questions. This makes the afformation much more effective than an affirmation.
An exercise -
Say aloud - I am wonderful. I am wonderful.
And mean it. You should feel the difference immediately.
Now say - Why am I wonderful?
As you go about your day, keep the question in your mind. And your mind will shoot back all kinds of answers. By the end of the day, you should have told yourself many ways in which you are wonderful. The idea is not to force yourself to come up with answers. It is to let you mind wander with the questions. (Like when you are in the shower and the answer to a problem just comes to you, even though you didn't realize you were still thinking on the problem) It is like a big pat on the back. It should raise your vibration, and shake off some dead weight/guilt/self-judgment that has been holding you down.
I heartily recommend saying the afformations aloud. Hearing your own voice nicely ask the question, heartily ask the question is part of it. We are auditory creatures. Try writing the question too. That way you are processing it in different ways, in different parts of your brain.
Here are a couple:
Why does everything in my body operate so perfectly?
Why do I love my body?
Why is life so fulfilling for me?
Why does God always take such perfect care of me?
Why is Love all that really matters?
Why do I enjoy such balance and harmony in my life?

Repeat after me...
I release that which no longer services me.
I release that which no longer serves me.
I am master of my own destiny.
The choice is mine.
I choose to be surrounded by only the greatest good.
I choose to be influenced only by the highest truth.
I choose only that which raises my vibration.
I release that which no longer serves me.
I release that which no longer serves me.
I am master of my own destiny.
The choice is mine.
I choose to be surrounded by only the greatest good.
I choose to be influenced only by the highest truth.
I choose only that which raises my vibration.
I release that which no longer serves me.
