Why Some Positive Affirmations Work – and Others Don’t

Firstly – What Is A Positive Affirmation? By definition, a positive affirmation is a positive statement repeated time and time again either verbally, mentally — or written down.

The words of the positive affirmation statement – in themselves – when spoken, thought of, or written *without* a pictorial (visualized in your minds eye) or emotional connection — make a very weak affirmation (unlikely to get you the result you’re after). Positive 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. All affirmations are not created equal. Some are, of course, better than others. There are *power positive affirmations* that have been proven again and again to work – and I’ll reveal some of them to you in a moment. When you examine the structure of these power affirmations, you too, can learn how to create your own powerful positive affirmations for your own 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 power affirmations above, have in common? Firstly, they’re all 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. Secondly, they all express a positive affirmation statement. Affirmations must 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 positive affirmation statement is much more powerful as it is positive and reinforces your desired goal. By expressing your affirmation using a positive statement you avoid confusing your subconscious mind with the mention of the undesirable condition. Thirdly, they’re all short and specific. Short positive 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. Now, the mechanics that make positive affirmations powerful are: * Repetition The importance of repetition cannot be overemphasized here. It imprints the affirmation into your subconscious mind. * Emotions Get involved and be passionate. Use your emotions. Think very carefully about the meaning of the words as you repeat them rather than just writing, typing or saying them for the sake of it. * Persistence Practicing positive affirmations with persistence achieves results much sooner than practicing them periodically. Successive sessions will have a compounding effect. * Belief This is where a lot of people often get confused when beginning to practice positive affirmations. It’s important to realise here that 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 positive 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 positive affirmation is powerless. * Impress Yourself Personalize your positive 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 positive 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 put your computer to work 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? ========================================== Jeff Staniforth is a creator of software for the mind.
