A simple error most people make when working with affirmations is saying affirmations that aren't true. For example, if you are saying, "I am wealthy and prosperous," when in reality you really aren't, you are essentially lying to yourself. So the affirmation doesn't work.
A better alternative is to add the words "I am in the process of" in front of whatever it is you are trying to create. When you change the wording to "I am in the process of becoming wealthy and prosperous" that often rings much more true than the original statement. Keep working with the wording until it rings true for you!
