As you know whatever you think about
you will eventually bring about. It is for this reason that I recommend creating
a few positive affirmations, which support your vision and goals. Positive affirmations
are nothing more than positive statements, which we create; to support a new
positive belief we need to develop or to support us to take the inspired action
we need to take every day. One of the greatest threats to our success is our
own negative self-talk and the nagging doubt we feel about our own abilities.
We continually engage in negative self-talk, where we berate ourselves and
doubt our own abilities. This is where positive affirmations, come into play.
They help us to think positive thoughts, which will support us to start to believe
more in our own abilities and they equip us to think from a “can do” perspective.
Invest the time to learn how to create
positive, effective affirmations, which will over time and regular use, allow
you to reprogram your mind, so that you can stop engaging in negative self-talk
and develop a real belief in your-self and your abilities. For your affirmations
to be effective and for you to create the most powerful and vivid picture in your
mind, it is crucial that you repeat them to yourself regularly throughout the
day. The secret to make affirmations really work for you is not found by just repeating
them frequently or even out loud. The power of affirmation comes from the amount
of emotion you experience as you repeat each affirmation. The regular use of
positive affirmations helps you to program your mind and plants the seed of
intention in your mind.
The amount of feeling and passion you
put behind your affirmations, determines how believable they are to you and
increases their power in your mind. Much like a radio transmitter, the passion
and emotion behind your affirmations will up the wattage of the message that you
are sending. This will allow you to feel a much greater intensity from you affirmations
and the positive message, which it conveys will play louder in your mind.
Don’t rush saying your affirmations,
especially as you begin working with them. See them as depicting your personal world
view and know that they are specific to your goals. Make them as meaningful as
possible and try to evoke a deep positive emotive feeling as you repeat them. You
may even find that over time, as you consistently repeat this exercise every
day, you will begin to receive a reassuring, warm feeling inside and an uplifting
feeling of infused energy and enthusiasm, as you repeat your goal-specific affirmations.
Enjoy the feeling it produces, knowing that the feeling you’re transmitting, is
exactly what you’re calling into your life.
Find Your Reference
Point
To get the most benefit from your goal specific
affirmations, it is crucial that you refine your goals and become absolutely
clear on what you want. If your goal seems too abstract and distant, you will
be unable to get a strong emotional feeling, when you repeat your affirmations.
Explore your goals and find a clear reference point, which will help you to cement
a positive, believable feeling into your mind. Your goal must be reasonable,
even though they must stretch you, they must feel achievable to you. If you are
attempting to achieve something, which feels impossible and unrealistic, no
affirmation will manage to fool your brain into believing you can achieve it. You
will just feel like you are lying to yourself.
Also explore your current reality and if one of your
goals or goal specific affirmations, is to enjoy driving your Porsche 911 Targa,
past your new holiday home in Balito Bay, but your current reality is that you
drive a Beetle in Springs. You need to make the possibility of driving a
Porsche believable in your mind. Visit a Porsche dealer and sit in the car, build
a picture in your mind about how it feels to actually sit in the car. Allow
yourself to experience what it will be like when you actually achieve your
dream. Make the feeling as real and vivid as possible.
The more vivid your visualization, the greater the
results you will enjoy. Have a friend photograph you inside or next to the
car. Smell the leather. Feel the interior. Take it for a test drive, if
possible. Listen to the sound of the engine. Engage your senses as much as
possible so that you have a reference point for increasing the power of your
affirmation.
You can also find a root experience that is similar
enough to your goal that you can expand to the size of your goal. For example,
if your goal is to alleviate world hunger, you can remember the time you fed a
hungry bunch of kids at your home and their satisfied faces after the meal.
Allow this experience to gradually expand over time and eventually you will
find a way to start believing your huge goal is possible.
Find whatever hook you can use to increase the power
of your emotions and the feeing generated associated with the affirmation.
Purposely create that feeling, if need be. Relive it mentally in detail and
with feeling, every day. Your subconscious cannot tell the difference between
an imagined or a real experience. After repeating your affirmations enough
times, where you have felt the emotions, your subconscious mind will start to
believe that you can achieve your dream and the negative self-talk and doubt
will fade away, to be replaced by belief and a commitment to succeed.
