Affirmations for Family:
Focusing on What Matters in Life!
Your family is the most important thing in your life.
The longer you live, the more you realize that most friends and acquaintances come and go. When they go, you forget about them! They forget about you.
But you always know who your family is.
You can have a 20 year feud with a relative – 20 years of absolute silence between the two of you – but you’ll always remember them.
Family is sacred! Ignore this fact at your own peril.
Pitfalls are EVERYWHERE.
Siblings tend to feud, and these feuds can last decades.
Parents work long hours to pay the bills, but those long hours can turn them into strangers to very kids they’re trying to support!
Husbands and wives drift apart, each focused on their own interests and responsibilities until they eventually have nothing in common.
Don’t let these things happen to you!
Affirmations for Family:
Take the time to assess your progress.
A divided house is a weak house! You want your house to be strong.
As with any goal, it helps to frequently stop and ask yourself what you’re doing each day to achieve it. What’s your plan?
If you want a close-knit family, what are you doing each day to make that happen? Is there anything you could do better? Have a board-game night. Do Sunday bar-b-cues. Go to a museum once a month.
Whatever you do, turn it into a regular thing. Get everyone in the habit of hanging out together.
You eat and sleep alongside your spouse every night. That’s good, but if you’re both glued to your phones, you may as well be living in different countries.
Every couple needs common interests to keep them from drifting apart.
So take up bowling together. Learn to paint together. Whatever it is, just make sure you have something fun and inexpensive to do besides watching TV.
Beware of "influencers" trying to usurp your role as a parent!
What are you doing to prevent degenerate classmates, social media narcissists, or the sicko entertainment industry from exerting more influence on your kids than you do?
What are you doing to counteract the effects of so-called teachers who believe “education” and “indoctrination” mean the same thing?
Estrangement doesn’t happen over night. It’s a slow, gradual process, like many forms of cancer. If you let it get to the point where it’s easily noticeable, you’re already too late!
Nip it in the bud!
Affirmations can help you re-align your priorities to the benefit of your family. They can remind you, on a deep level, that creating a loving family should be the first thing on your mind, not the last.
Don’t be the kind of parents who’s kids are strangers to them. Don’t let your spouse drift away, simply for lack of quality time hanging out.
Working fewer hours will cost you money in terms of wages lost, but who are you making that money for, anyway? Your family!
Money isn’t always to be spent at on groceries, clothes, or school supplies. Sometimes you have to spend it on time, by passing on the chance to earn that money in the first place.
So, if at all possible, consider skipping those overtime hours once in a while. Don’t work the next holiday.
The money you “lose” isn’t lost at all. It’s the price of time with your family. It’s the cost of making sure your kids and your spouse don’t become detached from you, and it’s worth it.
No dying person ever said, “I wish I worked more hours and made more money.”
EVERYONE wishes they spent more time with their family.

The Method
Read these affirmations everyday for 5 minutes straight.
Do this by watching the video (set to relaxing music and darkened imagery for easier reading), or by downloading and printing the PDF sheet.
Read your affirmations in a place where you won’t be distracted by people or pets. Silence your phone.
When you use the PDF, set a countdown timer so that your mind is free to focus on the affirmations, instead of wondering how much time has elapsed.
If you really want to be the best person you can be for your family, then this is sacred time.
5 minutes.
After a minute or two, you’ll feel a calmness coming over you. It might feel like meditation, or a mild form of hypnosis. That’s great!
That’s the feeling of your active brain quieting down, and your subconscious mind absorbing its new programming.

How Do You Know When the Affirmations for Family are Working?
You know the affirmations are working when you feel less concerned with your job, and more concerned about spending time with the family.
The’re working when you become aware of how fast time is slipping by, and wonder whether time is bringing you closer to your loved ones, or further apart.
Do the work.
Getting closer to your family might might mean driving a couple hours to visit a sibling, cost of gas be damned.
Or, it might mean refusing to work overtime so you can take your younglings to the park.
It might mean reaching out to someone you’ve been feuding with and saying, “I’m sorry about whatever happened. It was such a long time ago, let’s just forget it.”
For most of us, and this is a BIG one guys, it means turning off our damn cell phones.
Do the affirmations.
Program yourself to be the kind of person who actively creates a strong family.
Good luck!
(Strengthening your family may require you to forgive those who abused, betrayed, or harmed you in some way. Please see affirmations for forgiveness.)
(Aside from loving your family, loving yourself is one of the most important things you can do. Please see affirmations for self love.)
