In this episode you and I discover the wisdom - and how to apply that wisdom - of "Rich Dad Poor Day" author Robert Kiyosaki's insight: "A question opens the mind, a statement closes the mind".
One useful affirmation template: "I choose to (action) _________________ so that (benefit) ______________.
Here are 3 suggested affirmations to put Robert Kiyosaki's wisdom to work in your life.
Affirmation 1: I recognize questions can enhance my professional and personal power. Therefor, I choose to incorporate questions daily into my conversations with other people and for my own personal problem solving so that I can be more effective in my everyday life.
Affirmation 2: When I catch myself being self-critical, I will say - preferably out loud if possible - cancel, cancel, cancel that thinking pattern. I will then ask empowering questions that guide me to an accurate assessment of a situation and the creation of empowering options for change if change is needed so I can engage in continuous improvement in the important areas of my life.
Affirmation 3: I choose to engage in conversations with my significant other using questions such as "Where I have I missed the mark over the past week?" "How can I be a better partner in the week ahead so our relationship can even be stronger and deeper?"
Important note:
You must avoid any hint of defensiveness. Listen to what your partner offers you with an open heart and mind. The first time you apply this action your partner will likely be guarded and reluctant to give any critical feedback. Reassure your partner you honestly want to be a better partner and you're willing to listen and make changes toward that goal.
Remember, Affirmations are previews of coming attractions! When your choices align with your heart's desire and your highest good, Affirmations keep you focused
Your self-talk, the words you consistently say within your mind and out loud and the words you say to others, all matter. Questions can gently guide and support you in changing your self-talk to be more honest and more helpful.

Why Vision Matters According to the Dalai Lama
How to create affirmations that empower your actions as you move toward achieving goals that align with your highest good.
In this episode we explore wisdom from the Dalai Lama XIV, specifically his guidance:
âIn order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.â
This show is for you if you want to develop the skills, the abilities to identify those affirmations you most need in your life, We craft short, focused, brief affirmations you can put to work right away to make choices that enhance your life, your wellbeing, and your relationships.
Every statement you make in mind and out loud about yourself, to yourself, about other people, about circumstances in your life are all affirmations.
Remember, your subconscious mind is always listening and a part of you believes everything you say. Your self-talk matters.
Letâs again visit the Dalai Lama's guidance:
âIn order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.â
What affirmations could you and I create to incorporate the Dalai Lama's guidance into our daily lives.
Suggested Affirmations:
Affirmation #1:
"I choose to create empowering visions that will inform my actions to move me in the direction of my highest good and the goals I am choosing to achieve."
Affirmation #2:
"I choose to create powerful visions in big, bold technicolor and I choose to allow my actions to align with my highest good as I move toward my chosen goals."
I encourage you to read aloud these suggested affirmations and then allow your subconscious awareness to assess each of these affirmations to determine if they resonate with you..
After sitting with the affirmations, make whatever changes are needed so the affirmations align with your heart wisdom and highest good.
Also, if other affirmations come into awareness, write them down and incorporate them into your daily self-talk practice.
One powerful model for creating affirmations is,
"I choose to ___________ so that __________________.
Repeat your affirmations regularly throughout the day as you take the actions that align with your chosen goals. Really feel the energy of your affirmations and celebrate each success step, no matter how small, as you move toward completing your chosen goals.

Transcript Summary
I'm your Host: Stephen Carter, CEO of Stress Solutions, LLC. I've been helping people dissolve stress and achieve success for more than 40 years. You'll find information about my company and background at www.EFT-MD.com.
Podcast Episodes Will be Brief and Focused:
The episodes for this podcast are designed to be brief, focused, and to the point. For more expansive discussion of affirmations, research, and guided meditations, visit our www.PositiveWordPower.com show website.
Short, Focused Affirmations:
So why should you make short, focused affirmations a part of your everyday life? Whatâs in for you?
Hereâs one important reality: Words matter. Words you say in mind, also called self-talk, and words you say out loud are all affirmations.
Every statement you make about yourself, to yourself, about other people, and about circumstances in your life are affirmations. Your subconscious mind is always listening so itâs vital to choose positive words that empower your health, wealth, relationships and emotional wellbeing.
Your self-talk, the words you consistently say within your mind and out loud, and the words you say to others, all matter.
Empowering self-talk motives you to achieve what you were put in this world to achieve and the words you speak and write inspire others to do the same.
How This Podcast Works:
The way this podcast works is I share an inspiring quote, I offer brief commentary about that quote, and I suggest one or more affirmations you can choose to use to make create positive results in your life.
Stephen King's Guidance:
Let's again hear author Stephen King's words:
"You can, you should, and if youâre brave enough to start, you will."
What is King talking about? Your goals.
Does it really take bravery to start?
For most of us most of the time it absolutely takes bravery to reach outside of our comfort zone. Why?
Fear.
Fear of failure and perhaps fear of success. Yes, we can be afraid of success.
There are many reasons why fear of success can occur. We can be worried about what others in our circle of family and friends will say if we achieve a significant goal, particularly if that goal relates to money.
We can be afraid somehow, "I'll change; I'll become someone else; Who am I to achieve this goal?".
What about fear of failure? "What if I fail? I'm afraid people will ridicule me, laugh at me, judge me, if I fail. I'm afraid I'll judge myself as a loser. And I will be a loser!".
Some of our fear of failure will be conscious and some will be subconscious. When going for a stretch goal, it's important to recognize you may experience subconscious resistance.
If the goal speaks to your heart, to your highest values, if it's a 9 or 10 on a zero to 10 scale of desire? Move forward one tiny step at a time. Feel the fear and do it anyway.
Suggested Affirmations:
Here are my affirmation suggestions for you to consider:
I choose to create and see in mind daily powerful images of what it will look like, sound like, and feel like when I achieve this goal.
I choose to achieve this goal in tiny steps if necessary even if I experience subconscious or conscious resistance as long as this goal continues to speak to my heart and my highest values.
Returning to Stephen King's guidance,
"I choose to affirm, I can, I should, and I am brave enough to start now and to finish."

So why should you make short, focused affirmations a part of your everyday life? Whatâs in for you?
Hereâs one important reality: Words matter. Words you say in mind, also called self-talk, and words you say out loud are all affirmations.
Every statement you make about yourself, about other people, and circumstances in your life are affirmations. Your subconscious mind is always listening so itâs vital to choose positive words that empower your health, wealth, relationships and emotional wellbeing.
Letâs begin with learning to feel words in your body. Why is this important? Because words you speak have energy signatures in your body. Recognizing those signatures, how words feel, is the first step to harnessing the energy of words to enhance wellbeing and achieve your chosen goals.
Once you learn how positive, empowering words feel in comparison to disempowering words, youâre far more likely to bring positive, empowering words into your internal self-talk and in your conversations with other people, including your loved ones.
Start by assuming a comfortable position. If youâre sitting, sit upright in a comfortable way, head up, ears over shoulders, shoulders over hips. If you can do so safety, close your eyes.
Tune into your body. Notice any areas of tension. Notice how your body feels. Get an overall sense of your current stress level in this moment.
Allow a comfortable in-breath for 4 or 5 seconds and then allow a comfortable out-breath for an additional 5 or 6 seconds. Repeat the in and out breath pattern two more times.
Place your hand(s) to your heart. Either right hand or left hand touching heart area is fine. Really feel the physical connection of your hand(s) to the chest area over your heart. Allow two more in and out-breaths.
Say the word, âGentleâ out loud. As you again allow two more gentle in and out-breaths, tune into your body. Notice where you are feeling the word, âGentleâ. The felt sense may be subtle, but you will be drawn to a specific area in your body where the energy of the word âGentleâ resonates.
Breathe gently and repeat the word, âGentleâ again. Notice how the felt sense increases.
Repeat a third time and again tune into your body. Where are you sensing the energy of the word, âGentleâ? Allow your awareness to encompass your entire body. Does your body feel calmer, more relaxed? Is there a sense of âgentlenessâ in mind and body?
If youâre not sure whether you sense where the energy is resonating, repeat the process again.
After youâre comfortable with this word energy process, itâs time for you to choose a word and feel the energy of that chosen word. To select your own word, sit comfortably and ask yourself, âHow do I choose to feel at this moment?â âWhat energy form am I most in need of?â For our purposes, words are energy forms when you feel the words in your body.
Sit quietly and wait for your subconscious mind to serve up a selected word representing the energy form your subconscious mind has selected. While there could be thousands of options, at this early stage of word energy awareness, words such as, âcalmâ, âconfidentâ, ârelaxedâ, âcompetentâ, âcouragesâ, or âpeacefulâ are common first selections. Allow your subconscious to serve up your word. Trust what comes up even if it sounds unusual.
Repeat the same process you used for the word, âGentleâ, only now youâll be repeating your selected word. Prepare, breathe, place hand(s) to heart, and notice where you feel the energy of your chosen word just as you did with the word, âGentleâ.
Iâll let the music play for 30 seconds while you experience the energy of your chosen word.
Congratulations! You now are the proud owner of a new skill. Anytime youâre feeling stress, need more physical energy, need to feel more confident, or need any other energy resource, you need only ask the question, âHow do I choose to feel right now, in this moment?â.
Remember, this is only the beginning. Over the coming episodes youâre going to experience the power of short, focused affirmations you can apply to countless areas of your life.
