AFFIRMATIONS ARE POWERFUL!

I promised more on Affirmations, right? OK Here we go.

Why affirmations work

By choosing to think and say positive affirmations as truth, the subconscious is forced into one of two reactions - avoidance or acceptance. The bigger the issue the bigger the gap between the positive affirmation and the perceived inner truth and the more likely that one is going to experience resistance. This is where the subconscious finds it easier to stay with its perceived inner truth and avoid the challenge to avoid examining the issue. You will recognize this reaction by a strong negative feeling inside as you state the positive affirmations. Equally if your experience a sense of joy and well being, your mind is instinctively responding to something it believes to be true. When you get this emotion, you know your affirmations are working! You do not even have to believe that it will work, initially, just keep affirming.

Continually repeating affirmations with conviction and passion will chip away at even the strongest resistance. The effect can be startling and things can change very quickly as the dysfunctional beliefs are identified and replaced by your own new inner truth.

Because affirmations actually reprogram your thought patterns, they change the way you think and feel about things, and because you have replaced dysfunctional beliefs with your own new positive beliefs, positive change comes easily and naturally. This will start to reflect in your external life, you will start to experience seismic changes for the better in many aspects of your life.

How quickly do affirmations work

From day one, there will be affirmations you love and enjoy saying, these affirmations are likely to be very effective for you and you are likely to start experience changes almost immediately. Others will feel very negative, almost like a big lie, this indicates resistance and these areas may take longer to impact. How quickly you can resolve an issue like this is like asking how long is a piece of string. It depends on the issue, how deeply the belief is held and how determined you are to bring about change in that area of your life, the latter being perhaps the most important of all. If you are truly ready and want to make changes, the quicker those changes will come for you. People have made cognitive changes in their beliefs almost instantaneously, once you are prepared to embrace and accept a change and you believe it to be right for you from your very heart, then that change will happen. So it is not really a question of time, more a question of how accepting of change you can be.

Will Affirmations help me?

Yes. No matter what aspect of life you're dealing with or who you are, affirmations will not only make you feel better about yourself and your life. But if used correctly, they can manifest real change in your life. Changing the way you think, reprogramming your mind and removing the old negative beliefs that have been sabotaging you again and again throughout your life. They can enable you to achieve the life you've always wanted for yourself!

Everyone Really uses Affirmations- But did you know that 90% of our thoughts are negative! No wonder we struggle!
It is these negative thoughts that feed and validate our negative internal beliefs. Under this kind of negative bombardment most people simply do not have the strength to break free of their negative thoughts and become hopelessly locked into their own (usually false) negative beliefs.

Positive affirmations are designed to challenge those negative beliefs. Affirmations are more than just repeating words. It is a whole process of becoming aware of your thoughts and words in everyday life, choosing to think and project happy positive thoughts. The more you can consciously inject the spirit of you affirmations into your daily thoughts and words, the quicker they will work for you. I really reccommned journaling. You need to release all of the negativity

How to create your own affirmations

Start by taking some time to think about areas in your life you would like to improve and how you might want your life to be. It is worth taking some time over this process. Write the most important ones down in a list.

Now look at each item on the list and write out a few positive statements for each. They must be positive and in the present tense, focus on what you do want, not on what you don't want.

For example if my list of things that were important to me included...

"A fulfilling job"

My affirmation might look like this

�I have a wonderful job that fulfils me on many levels�

Creating your own affirmations is the perfect way to get the right affirmations for you. For example, in the early stages, some of the affirmations you will receive will be "releasing" in nature, these are designed to assist you in overcoming any initial resistance to the process. Here is an example of a very simple releasing affirmation.

"I am ready and willing to release the past, now"

Say your affirmations aloud-with passion, write them down on cards or post it notes so they are visible to you throughout your day and Visualize them to be true.

AFFIRMATIONS! Do they REALLY WORK?

Let's talk about positive affirmations and how they can be used to manifest your needs and bring positive and permanent change to your life. You will also learn how to Create and supercharge your own affirmations.
What is an Affirmation?
Everything we think of and every word we say is an affirmation All of our self-talk is a free flow of affirmations. We are continually affirming subconsciously with our words and thoughts and this flow of affirmations is creating our life experience each and every day and moment that we live. Our beliefs are just learned thought patterns that we have developed since childhood, many of these work well for us, but others may now be working against us, and preventing us from achieving what we believe we want. Every thought or word we utter is a reflection of our inner truth or beliefs. It is important to realize that many of these "inner truths" may not actually be true for us now or may no longer be valid because they were based upon inappropriate impressions we constructed as children.
Our subconscious uses the behavior patterns we have learned to automatically respond and react to many everyday events in our life. This is essential to our survival, we need to be able to respond quickly to events around us which would be impossible if we had to re-examine every aspect of things every time something simple happens. Our learned responses and thought patterns enable us to automatically respond to circumstances quickly and easily. Problems arise however, if at an early stage some of the foundation beliefs on which many of the others are built were formed from a skewed perspective, maybe the strategy was appropriate for a perceived difficult circumstance, however often such beliefs are totally inappropriate for succeeding in the real world as adults.

You can use "Positive Affirmations", which are usually short positive statements targeted at a specific subconscious set of beliefs, to challenge and undermine negative beliefs and to replace them with positive self-nurturing beliefs. It is sort of like "Brain Draining/Cleaning"only you get to choose which negative beliefs to drain away. The way these statements are constructed is extremely important. Later I will show you how to construct your own affirmations. It is important to remember of course that everything we say and think is a positive affirmation, using statements of affirmation forces us to keep focussed on our inner goals and reminds us to think consciously about our words and thoughts and to modify them to reflect our positive affirmation.

Do affirmations work?

YES! Affirmations really work. You will be hard pressed to find any self help program anywhere that does not include affirmations. And the reason for this is, they work. The more determined you are to make your changes, the more you are prepared to accept change and let go of the past, the better they will work for you.

DREAM BIG- otherwise known as Goals!

Ok- so you have your Purpose and Passions figured out- right? Remember to look at them daily and write affirmations about what you want to accomplish! Now onto those Dreams and Goals!
-You have to have a dream if you are going to make it come true!
What does YOUR success look like to you?
-Take a look at all the key areas of your life: Whatever it is that you have- BE GRATEFUL)
-PERSONAL GOALS (things you want to have)
-RELATIONSHIPS (friends, family, co-workers etc)
-HEALTH AND BODY (physical and mental health)
-CAREER AND EDUCATION ( continue your personal growth as well as your academic growth)
-RECREATION (Have fun!- sports, music, what do you love to do?)
-FINANCIAL ( what do you want to earn?)
-CONTRIBUTIONS (what do you want to give back?)

Be certain when setting your dreams/goals to use the SMART method

• Specific- be very detailed - envision yourself being and doing the things of your heart.Let others know your intentions.

• Measurable-Be certain your goal has a "ruler" better yet- a "yardstick" to measure your results- how much money do you want to earn, how much weight do you want to loose

• Action-Take ACTION And ATTAIN results- make the actions your own-if you want to loose weight - don't buy the cookies and potato chips (for the kids) it will do them good not to eat them either!

• Realistic- Stretch yourself a bit- think and BELIEVE that you will achieve your goals! Stop settling for whatever comes your way and take ownership of the fact that YOU can actively participate in the creation of your own destiny and dreams!

• Timely- Put a date to be accomplished on your goal sheet! Don't get hung up if you don't achieve it by that specific time-frame! BUT NEVER GIVE UP!

Getting started-
We usually know what we Don't Want so go ahead and make a chart for every area of your life that you want to change and label it What I don't want( once we put it down on paper - we will begin to release those things and concentrate on the other side) and on the other side label
Want I don't want What I do Want
I don't want to be overweight I want to fit into a size 6 (don't we all?)
I don't want to date a smoker I want to date someone who cares
about their health

You get the idea?
Ok- then you need to make a list of AT LEAST 101 things that you want and on another day- take your time and prioritize them!
This exercise could take you while, but it is liberating!

So - you have your work cut out for you this week- go ahead, have fun and DREAM BIG!!!
YOU DESERVE THE BEST !
