Using Daily Affirmations

By Ewald Moors


There are a lot of people out there that are skeptical about the idea that daily affirmations will be able to do anything to help improve their lives. A lot of these people think that repeating a phrase to themselves every single day seems a little silly and even embarrassing. If you already know that you want to be happy, wealthy, and successful, then what's the point of repeating this to yourself every single day?

To truly understand how positive affirmations can make a difference in your life, you must first understand the subconscious mind. The truth is, you're not trying to convince your conscious mind of anything at all. What you're really trying to do is reprogram your subconscious mind.Sometimes it's a little difficult to appreciate the true power of the subconscious mind. To put it simply, this is the part of your mind that processes your thoughts when you're not even aware of it. Have you ever struggled to solve a problem or situation, only to have a spark of inspiration when you least expected it? This is actually your subconscious mind at work. It is the part of your mind that continues to function long after your conscious mind has moved on to other things.

Affirmations can be used as often as you would like, I suggest that you set some time aside every day to focus on your desires and thoughts. Getting in the habit of doing this on a daily basis will promote change and you will be pleased with the results.It is easy to slip back into old patterns, so once you have seen good things occur in your life it is necessary to continue with your daily affirmations. Create the habit of thinking positively and be aware of your thoughts and desires.

What about the real estate salesman who wakes in the morning, stares himself in the mirror and affirms "I have the inner strength to make this sale today"? He affirms it again and again until it is ingrained in his subconscious and his lips murmur it while he brushes his teeth... While he drives to work... He's like an automaton, trance like as he operates the car.

Two things are noteworthy. Firstly, these phrases are short and have a context of relevance to the participant. Secondly, they are repeated in such a way and with such regularity that their incantation becomes an almost mindless (and I mean that in the most positive way!) act. It's not so much the content of the words that matters so much as their emotional relevance and their sound.Find some time to repeat some positive statements that have meaning to you each day and see how your mood changes.Make it relevant,Make it short,Repeat it regularly for a set amount of time each day,Make it automatic.

In order for your daily positive affirmations to be effective you must inject true emotions into them. Merely mindlessly repeating a phrase to your-self over and over does you no good if you don't feel it. Try using words of emotion like " happily,joyously,confidently,unstoppable,bold,relaxed,calm,etc. These will help you generate real emotion.

The use of positive daily affirmations to help with the Law of Attraction works best when you keep in mind 3 simple tips. The first main tip to keep in mind can be summed up with the word repetition. When stating your affirmations, the best time to say them is in the morning shortly after waking up and at night before going to bed. Some people will even go so far as to post notes around their house so they are constantly reminded of them. This repetition will help you focus your energies on what you want to attract. The more you repeat your positive daily affirmations to your self, the more your energies will become focused on them.

Another one-word tip for positive daily affirmations is emotions. Pour your emotions into your affirmations so that they become more than just a statement. It is hard to really focus on something that is nothing more than just words. In order to get the most out of your affirmations, you should visualize what your statement represents. Pour as much emotion as you can into them, so that it is easier to know what you should be feeling when you achieve your goals. This will make your statements become something real and almost tangible as opposed to nothing more than empty words. Your positive daily affirmations should then become almost a part of you.

Use pictures whenever possible because this will make it much easier to change your way of thinking to be positive. By repeating the affirmations to yourself and seeing a picture at the same time, your subconscious mind will have a much easier time of believing it is true in your physical world. Now that you know how to use daily affirmations to achieve the complete happiness you want; all that is left is to get started using them. Just remember that it will take time for them to start working, but once they do you will be amazed at how many things in your life you can change so that you have complete happiness in all areas of your life.

First you must decide on a specific goal or outcome you wish to achieve. Do you want to loose weight, stop procrastination or control your temper? Whatever it is that you want to do, you must state it in the positive. You must focus on what you want not on what you don't want. Keep your affirmation in the present tense. Futurist statements focus on what will happen someday. Some days never come. "I will lose weight one day" will keep you looking to the future. A great way to stay focused on the present is to begin your affirmations with "I AM..." Try this,"I am happily achieving my weight loss goals." notice the word happily? That puts some emotion into it which makes the affirmation more powerful.
