Affirmations are positive verbal, mental, or written statements\u00a0that describe a desired situation or goal. They are\u00a0then repeated many times in order to impress the subconscious mind and trigger it into positive action. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the affirmations, they have to be repeated with attention, emotion, conviction,\u00a0and desire.\u00a0They work in the same manner as creative visualization. The repeated words help you focus your mind on your goal, and automatically build corresponding mental images in the conscious mind, which affect the subconscious mind. The conscious mind\u00a0starts this process and then the subconscious mind takes charge.<\/p>\n

By using this process consciously and intently, you can\u00a0transform your habits, behavior, mental attitude and reactions, and even reshape your external life.\u00a0By stating what you want to be true in your life, you mentally and emotionally see and feel it as true, irrespective of your current circumstances, and thereby attract it into your life.<\/p>\n

Affirmations, when worded correctly,\u00a0and when emotionally charged, are able to tap into the unlimited creative power of your subconscious mind, and manifest your desires.\u00a0 Self-developed affirmations,\u00a0ones you compose yourself, are the most effective positive daily affirmations. If you couple them with clearly defined written goals and applied faith, their power is unlimited.\u00a0\u00a0You can say your positive daily affirmations silently or aloud to yourself. Repetition\u00a0will also counteract negative thoughts that may stream through your mind, automatically sometimes. You may write affirmations on a card,\u00a0carried in your pocket, taped to a mirror, or placed where it is always visible to you. Repeat your positive affirmations at intervals throughout your day, to reinforce the positive belief and to maintain a positive state of mind.\u00a0Your firm belief that what you are affirming is possible is crucial, because once you start believing that something is possible, it becomes more probable. Without that firm belief, further repetition of your affirmations will just be futile. An affirmation should be a belief in yourself.<\/p>\n

The desires and dreams that your mind can conceive bear seeds of possibility, and possibilities can\u00a0ultimately become realities.\u00a0 The emotional dimension of each affirmation should never be overlooked. When you can actually \u2018feel’ your affirmation, not just utter or read them, their total impact increases immensely. The written affirmations\u00a0must ignite an emotional reaction in you,\u00a0or they simply fall flat.\u00a0You should state your positive daily affirmations in the present tense, that is, use “I am…” rather than “I will be…” Saying things in the present tense will program your subconscious mind to believe that what you affirm is already fact. When the subconscious believes that, it will start arranging for bringing what you affirm to you. In other words, the subconscious will drive you to perform the actions needed to live out what you affirm,\u00a0 you will create the circumstances that make them actually happen for you.<\/p>\n
