Don't?"
By
Jeff Staniforth
By definition, an affirmation is a statement repeated time and again
either verbally or mentally -- or written down. The words of the
affirmation statement - in themselves -when spoken, thought of, or
written *without* a pictorial (visualized) or emotional connection --
make a very weak affirmation.
Affirmations, when worded correctly -- and when emotionally charged -
are able to tap into the unlimited creative power of your subconscious
mind, and manifest your desires.
Affirmations are not all created equal. Some are, of course, better than
others. There are *power affirmations* that have been proven again and
again to work - and I'll reveal some of them in a moment.
When you examine the structure of these power affirmations, you, too,
can learn how to create your own powerful affirmations for your specific
purposes.
Consider the following:
"I am what I choose to be."
"All my needs are met instantaneously."
"I love and accept myself exactly as I am."
"_____________ comes to me easily and effortlessly."
(Fill in the blank with what you desire.)
"I am now perfectly healthy in body, mind and spirit."
"I now create my wonderful, ideal life."
What do the above power affirmations have in common?
1) They're stated in the present tense.
An affirmation is more effective when stated in the present tense. For
example; "I now have a wonderful job." Avoid affirming something in the
future tense, e.g. "I am going to have a wonderful job" or the results
will always be waiting to happen.
2) They express a positive statement.
Affirmations need to be stated in the most positive terms possible.
Avoid negative statements. Affirm what you do want, rather than what you
don't want. For example: "I am no longer
sick." This is a negative statement. Instead, affirm: "I am now
perfectly healthy in body, mind and spirit." This statement is much more
powerful as it is positive and reinforces your desired goal and doesn't
confuse your subconscious mind with the mention
of the undesirable condition.
3) They're short and specific.
Short affirmations are easy to say, and have a far greater impact at the
subconscious level than those which are long and wordy. Keeping them
specific and to the point adds power as the idea is
uncluttered by extraneous elements.
The mechanics that make affirmations powerful are:
* Repetition
The importance of repetition cannot be overemphasized. It imprints the
affirmation into your subconscious mind.
* Emotions
Get involved, be passionate, and use your emotions. Think carefully
about the meaning of the words as you repeat them rather than just
writing, typing or saying them.
* Persistence
Practicing affirmations with persistence achieves results much sooner
than practicing them periodically. Successive sessions will have a
compounding effect.
* Belief
You don't necessarily have to believe your affirmation initially, in
order for it to work. Belief will grow with your forthcoming successes.
What you do need is the ability to *feel* what it would be like when the
desire you're affirming is fulfilled, or your need met. Every time that
you have a need -- and that need is met -- a certain "feeling" is
produced in you. You need to evoke that same feeling when you state your
affirmation. In other words, you need to feel with every fiber of your
being that what you desire has already happened. Without this feeling,
your affirmation is powerless.
* Impress Yourself
Personalize your affirmations. They must *resonate* with you -- feel
right for you. The stronger your connection with the affirmation, the
deeper the impression it makes on your mind, and the sooner you will
experience positive results.
So there you have it - the simple formula for creating affirmations that
work. Based on the above, you can easily create your own affirmations to
manifest any desire or need you have in life.
TIP: Although the practice of affirmations is easy, some people find it
challenging to repeat the affirmations continuously while maintaining
the highly charged emotional state necessary in
making affirmations work. DID YOU KNOW... that you can use your computer
to make the affirmation process effortless - and that you can automate
those challenging aspects (such as maintaining highly charged emotions),
and thereby, manifest your desires more
quickly? Go to
