Positive Affirmations Demystified

By Joury Farah


You are currently waking up every morning for that job you dread. Your life is on auto-pilot, going through the motions and living an ordinary, uneventful life.Affirmations can change your entire life in less than 5 minutes a day. Imagine being able to change how you think on a regular basis to be more positive. Well that is how affirmations work, so let's get you started on your own list.How to Create a Positive Affirmation,Positive affirmations are very easy to construct, but it takes a good deal of time to truly identify your wants and desires. An affirmation does little good if you're asking for the wrong thing. Take a few minutes of your day and list everything you want to change about your life. This list could include - your health, job, relationships, or self-esteem.

Feel Them. The emotional dimension of each affirmation should never be overlooked. When you can additionally "feel" your affirmation, its total impact increases tremendously. For instance, if your affirmation is "I am a successful public speaker", then visualize how it will be like to be receiving a standing ovation from a hall full of people.Make Them In the Present Tense. You 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 a fact. In other words, you have no doubt in your mind that what you desire is a given and not just a wish that may or may not happen.Make Affirmations Positive. Another important tip in formulating your affirmations is to write them in the positive state. A negative statement cannot work. For instance, you should say "I am rich" rather than "I am not poor".

How can you possibly use positive affirmations to gain more money, change your outlook on your job, or change your life? By changing the way you look at things. The job that you have may not be the ideal job that you wanted when you were younger. However, with this job, you ARE in fact earning money, and more importantly gaining experience. You are currently preparing yourself for when you get that better job. That better job is going to lead to more money, which in turn will likely lead to a better overall life for you and your family. But will just thinking you are preparing yourself actually give you that better job? You bet it will!

Increase Your Faith. Of course, the more faith you have in them, the more effective your affirmations will be. The desires and dreams that your mind can conceive bear seeds of possibility, and possibilities ultimately become realities.Say Positive Daily Affirmations With Conviction. Some experts recommend saying positive daily affirmations silently. They say that silent affirmations are more effective than spoken statements, because they entail more intensity of concentration and resonate through your entire body instead of in your surroundings. Others recommend saying them out loud, because you can also use your facial expression or hand gestures for more conviction. For whatever it is, positive daily affirmations made in a half hearted manner are not going to be as effective as the ones that you make with deliberate intention.

You can find lists and lists of affirmations on the Internet and in books, but creating your own positive affirmations that directly relate to your situation will create better results and more motivation. It is important to remember to take your time when constructing your list of affirmations. Think deeply about what it is you want and if you truly want those things. Remember, the process of affirmations (creating, saying daily) are much more important than the outcome.

Accepting change has always been a difficult task for most people, since they are reluctant of letting go of the comfort that they are used to. When you choose to affirm yourself positively, you can end up either in avoidance or in reappraisal. If you find yourself resisting change due to negative feelings or fear, it is because your subconscious mind is trying to avoid the challenge of dealing with the change. You can affect the way you perceive things by having positive affirmations that you have to repeat continuously and believe. This will create a conviction for you that will slowly fight off your resistance and finally; you will ease yourself into the change you feared.

Positive affirmations are simply short statements that you make to yourself with the goal of changing the way that you think. The idea is to get rid of negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. The reason that this is important is that it is our beliefs that largely determine what we can and can't do. If you believe that you can accomplish something there is a pretty good chance that you can, if you believe that you can't the chances that you will are very low.

Positive affirmations can do more than just help with preventative health. They can help your mind be comfortable enough to help cure your body of illnesses and diseases. You can reinforce the idea of your health becoming better, envisioning the illnesses being forced out of your body. As you see these things, you will be able to put yourself into the place that rest and chicken soup would normally put you. Because you believe that it can, your mind will help clean out the negative influences on your body, helping you to heal yourself. This is how powerful positive affirmations truly are.

The human body is an amazing organism. With the right positive affirmations, the body can heal itself of diseases that would almost seem miraculous. A strong and healthy body begins with a healthy way of thinking. These healthy thought patterns will help to rewire the rest of your body to become a strong and healthy vessel. Maintaining positive affirmations will help your body realize that it also can achieve anything in life. Affirmations aren't just limited to the amount of money you may make, or your happiness at those around you. They can easily be adapted to change not just your way of life, but your way of physical health.Richard is a Master Practitioner of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), Hypnosis, and Neurological Re-patterning.
