“Kis-Lev lays out a road map in a profoundly powerful yet simple way on how to heal your life beginning with your mind. Anyone who takes the journey in reading this book and applies the daily practice of affirmations will surely transform themselves and their life.” −Tova Hansel, author and speaker

These, in combination with the powerful affirmations, comprised one of the best gifts I ever gave myself.” −Katie Shvoljann
 
“What gives this book a unique edge, especially for those well familiar with this type of affirmation work, is the conversational tone; Jonathan talks with the reader naturally and at times wittily as he relates his own personal journey. He recommends posting some of the affirmations around your house, which I did, and I am excited each time I “bump” into yet another wonderful affirmation, whether on the fridge or by my bed. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!” −Alison Kahn

INTRODUCTION
 
Let me start with a confession.
 
For years I distrusted affirmations. They always seemed so… silly. Really.
 
I thought it was quite pathetic – people telling themselves things, hoping it would somehow change their reality. 
 
I thought it was p-a-t-h-e-t-i-c! Well, I was a teenager. I thought most things were pathetic. 
 
I thought that I didn’t need this kind of self-help stuff. I thought it was for the weak-minded. 
 
I felt secure in my abilities to self-help myself without self-help books. 
 
But then came… LIFE. 
 
*
 
In my early twenties I decided to become a professional artist: to sell my paintings, become successful, make a living, make a name for myself. 
 
Yet the art world was particularly cruel. I was a nobody. I was too young. Inexperienced. And no doors were opening for me. 
 
That’s when I began (reluctantly!) reading motivational books. All kinds of classics found their way to my hands.
 
To my alarm, these books were actually… good.
 
They gave me food for thought. 
 
And they slowly began to shift my thinking. I realized that I was my worst enemy. That the quality of my life was DETERMINED by the quality of my thoughts.
 
And, quite frankly, my thoughts sucked.
 
They really did.
 
I was actually embarrassed to share my thoughts with others. In my mind I was constantly dissing myself, mocking my actions, criticizing my words and every movement.
 
Could I change my thoughts? My negative thoughts were all I knew.
 
I decided to give positive affirmations a chance. Mind you, I didn’t tell anyone I was practicing this weird stuff. I was just willing to give it a try.
 
Little did I know my life was about to change.
