They correspond with the topics discussed in each week’s lessons. Taking Stock This teleclass discussed extreme motivation. Motivation is a yet another tool that can be used to achieve personal and professional success. Many people have misconceptions about motivation. They spend their lives waiting to be motivated and practicing bad habits that keep them from moving forward. These mindsets must be adjusted to truly harness the power of motivation.

Affirmations The biggest difference between happy, successful people and unhappy, struggling people are their beliefs. The beliefs that you have about yourself and others dramatically influence how you live your life. Affirmations are simple statements of beliefs. Starting your day with affirmations puts you in the right state of mind and, if you do them over and over again, then your affirmations will embed new beliefs deep in your subconscious. The best affirmations are in the present tense, positive and spoken with emotion behind them. Each LOFT Lifestyle Report contains a set of ten affirmations that you should state first thing in the morning. They correspond with what you’re learning in the teleclasses, and they shouldn’t take you more than a minute to do each day. The key with affirmations is to do them consistently. If you take the time each day to do them, especially first thing in the morning when your mind is as clear as it’s going to be, then they can profoundly transform your life. Week 43 Affirmations 1.
