Affirmation has been used by successful people for centuries. It has helped many ordinary people achieve the extraordinary in their lives. It has turned many failures into successes.
It has created many miracles in the history of man's evolution. However, the majority of people who use affirmation find that it does not work. Why that so? What are the elements that people missed out when they use affirmation techniques.
What is the purpose of affirmation?
You need to know and understand the true purpose of affirmation. Simply stated, the purpose of affirmation is to pass a command from the conscious mind to the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind has the ability, in anything it accepts as true, to do whatever it takes to turn it into reality. The purpose of an affirmation is to pass a message to the subconscious mind, and to make it believe the message is true. So this brings us to the first element of an effective affirmation.
1)The affirmation must be made believable to the subconscious mind.
Most of the affirmations people use, fail at this first stage.They tend to give an unrealistic message to the subconscious mind, hoping for a positive response. If you are financially broke, and you say to yourself; I earn $100,000 per year, is this believable to your mind?
Your conscious mind and subconscious mind will play a game of tennis. Subconscious mind will say no! It not true, you are a liar and your conscious, logic mind will say yes! It's true. This tennis game will go on for a while. Until the subconscious mind accepts it as a reality. If your body is totally out of shape, and you say to yourself; I am very attractive! is this believable to your mind? I doubt it.
What if you are currently broke,and you want to make $100,000 per year? What if you are out of shape, and you want to make yourself attractive? I find the best and easiest way is to use the word I choose in your affirmation.Instead of saying I want to earn $100,000 per year. Say I choose to earn $100,000 per year. Instead of saying I am very attractive. Say I choose to feel that people find me attractive.
2)The subconscious always seeks for proof.
There is a misconception that an affirmation has/must be repeated thousands of times before it can be installed in the subconscious mind. This is not necessarily true You can use the repetition method to embed your affirmation, but there is an easier way. That is, at the time you find the proof, state your affirmation. Many people stay in poverty because they associate pain with money. Whenever they spend their money, they think of their bills, loans etc. This will automatically lead to ultimate pain. It is the feeling you attach to money that makes you rich or poor.
How can we turn this to our advantage? Instead of feeling pain when spending money, what if we associate pleasure with it? Next time when you go out shopping, at the moment you take out your money or credit card, say this affirmation to yourself, I always have more than enough to spend.See how you feel. This works because the subconscious mind sees the proof. As long as you have some money left in your pocket, this affirmation is always true, so the subconscious mind will believe it.
