Repeat After Me

By Rebecca K. Sampson

Zebras can't change their stripes. It's a good thing you are not a zebra.

This is not a boring self-help book hidden in a pretty package. Repeat After Me is your sassy guide to changing your life by honing in your identity through the power of affirmations. It's time to be the badass affirmation feminist you were meant to be.

If you want your personal development books to be prim and proper, have no curse words, and give shallow advice–this is not the book for you.

If you want honest reflections, tried and true advice, and not-boring affirmations–you are in the right place.

Repeat After Me: How to Change Your Life in 1,111 Affirmations or Less covers positive affirmations and topics in:

• money, wealth, abundance, finances
• confidence, sexiness, self-worth
• healing, physical health, mental health
• gratitude, change, personal growth
• career, business, entrepreneurship
• motherhood, parenting
• magic, witchcraft, timeline jumping

It includes the author's own personal affirmations, like her favorite "I have a fat ass and a fat bank account." These are not affirmations or quotes you can simply find on Google.

Simply put, this is the only affirmation book you need and you will read it again and again. Not only for the affirmations to help you tool your ideal identity and who you were meant to be, but also for the exercises within that will help you regulate your nervous system, hone in on gratitude, and take life by the balls.

Rewire your brain with the power of positive affirmations for women. Prove to yourself that you are a badass, just like you always thought you were. Don't you owe yourself that?

Oh shoot I forgot to plan this part.

Would it be weird if I dedicated this book

to my crooked finger?

Yeah, probably.

I’ll go with this instead:

I dedicate this book to every person that has stayed up until dawn reading. You are my people.

About the Author

Chapter 1

This is not a boring affirmation book. It’s not full of cliches. Well, maybe a few. Cliches are sometimes right. But that is beside the point of this introduction. You are in for a ride with this book and I’m so glad you are here.

Words hold immense power. The way you talk to yourself matters. This book holds within it powerful words for your success. These affirmations go farther than the I am beautiful statement you may have heard on TV. We’ll have some sassy affirmations, emotionally driven affirmations, statements said in multiple ways for best penetration, and even some colorful language for a little spice factor.

Say these words out loud, write them in a journal, or type them out each day as part of a stream of consciousness before getting to your to-do list. Keep this book by your bedside or on your coffee table for easy access. Don’t read it through just once as these words are meant to find you when you need them, so having both a digital and a physical copy would be helpful for you to soak in their meaning.

If you are holding the paperback in your hands right now, I encourage you to grab a pen and highlighter. Write in this book whenever you feel called to do so. You can write a fuck yeah next to your favorite affirmations. For those on the ebook, use the highlight and bookmark features.

If there are affirmations you don’t like or that don’t suit you, feel free to ignore them or even scratch them out. Affirmations are meant to affirm your identity, so don’t take in any ideas that aren’t right for you.

What is an Affirmation?

You may already know this, but just so we are all on the same page, let’s talk about what an affirmation is and is not.

Affirmations are self-affirming statements. Many of them start with I am but that is not required. They can be positive or negative. For example, I am a failure is an affirmation. So is I am a success. Using affirmations intentionally helps you reframe and reprogram your perception of your identity and your thoughts.

The goal of this book is to show you 1,111 positive affirmations on a variety of topics, like money and confidence. You’ll absorb these affirmations as you read and repeat them in your daily life. Not all of these affirmations will relate to your unique needs, but they will cover ground to help you get started with the identity shifts you want to follow.

When you start saying affirmations intentionally, you are working on changing your mind about who you are. Changing your mind is one of the most important skills you can have. Changing your life through changing of your identity is an active practice.

Yes, some affirming statements may work on you right away, but others may take weeks or months of practice. Give yourself the gift of patience as you build a body of evidence of these changes.

It’s the Energy of Things that Matter

Many people say affirmations cannot involve any negative language or words that relate to what you don’t want. For example, saying I am debt-free is said to call in more debt rather than the opposite. I am of a different opinion. Feel free to call me an affirmation rebel.

However, there is a good reason why people say not to include the object of what you don’t want in your affirmation. It all has to do with the subconscious mind.

Every person has a conscious mind and a subconscious mind. The subconscious mind holds our basic functions for survival (like our brains’ reminder to keep breathing), as well as our belief systems and experiences that shaped them. Most of our beliefs and values form by the time we reach the age of seven. This is because the brain waves that snap on top of our subconscious mind develop after that point. Isn’t that interesting?

I talk more about this phenomenon in my first personal development book, Stronger Now: How to Thrive in Any Circumstance and Become Unstoppable. If you have a copy, find more information about the subconscious mind and our brain waves in Chapter Six: Limiting Beliefs and more on affirmations in Chapter Four: I Am Therefore I Am.

The subconscious mind is said to not know the difference between negatives and positives, so it only pays attention to the subject of each sentence. That is why speaking of debt can call in more debt. However, energy trumps everything. If you speak a sentence with empowering feelings, you will call in that empowering feeling and grant that word good intentions.

The energy you give the message is what fuels the affirmation. If you say I am debt-free and only envision the current debt you have and the scarcity you may be feeling, yes, you may call in more debt. However, if you think I am debt-free and hold the feeling of freedom and options in your heart, you will call in the empowering core of your goal instead. You have to have the awareness to know the difference between when you say something with a negative feeling or positive intention.

For this debt example, if you can’t say the word debt without cringing then you know that the emotions you feel behind it are too strong for a positive affirmation. If you can speak to it and feel hope and progress toward what you want, then do it. I don’t give a lot of examples that could have the ‘negative’ subject in the affirmations, but I cannot know what other words may be negative to your needs and experience. Use your judgment of what sentences make you feel good vs
