Affirmations are described as “self talk or “auto suggestion by famed lecturer Napoleon Hill in 1927. This indicates that this process is not some new idea, but a proven way of changing a person’s attitude towards their life.

Most psychologists and doctors will agree that a patient’s attitude has much to do with a person’s state of health. By creating a metamorphis of thought even patients with chronic and/ or life threatening illnesses can improve their outcomes and the quality of their lives.

This is not to say that affirmations can lead to a cure of any disease. However, a positive attitude could lessen the symptoms and enhance the quality of life. There are some who believe that by changing the “inner” attitude that a person can coach the body to heal itself.

The following is a brief biography on Myrtle Fillmore, who claims to have prolonged her life by affirmations and visualization. This information is verified and authentic.

After the story their will be a list of affirmations (credit will be given to the author) that you may wish to try. How often should you say affirmations? That depends on what feels right to you. One suggestion is that you repeat each affirmation 3 times at least three times per day. Perhaps you may want to try doing affirmation upon waking in the morning, in the afternoon and before retiring at night. Affirmations should not be a replacement of prayer.

yrtle (Page) Fillmore was born in

in 1936. As a child she contracted tuberculosis. Her prognosis for a long life was grim. At age 41 the symptom of the tuberculosis began to worsen, complicated by malaria. Death was imminent. Myrtle went to a lecture given by Dr. E.B Weeks on the science of the mind. He proposed that a person can change their health by convincing their body that they are well. His hypothesis made sense to Myrtle and she began to do affirmations on a regular basis. By 1888, two years after she heard the lecture all symptoms of the disease had vanished. A lady that was lucky to be alive at age 41, lived to the age of 96. She credited affirmations for a major source of her health.

“I lovingly forgive and release all of the past. I choose fill my life with joy. I love and approve of myself.”

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.  He maketh me to lie down in green  pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.  He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.  Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest  my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever
