As the root word “affirm” indicates in its meaning, to state positively, assert, and express dedication. Put affirmations are positive statements depicting the desired situation. The message (s) is repeated over and over. Proper affirmations are potent tools to help you create the life you want.
You may often use negative statements about your relationships, physical appearance, job, finances, or abilities. These negative statements become internalized and part of your subconscious. They direct your outcomes and attract negative energy. Replace these negative statements with positive affirmations. As your inner consciousness transforms, you will attract positive energy and action to your life.
Proper use of affirmations is required for solid outcomes. You must do your best to free yourself of negative statements and patterns. The affirmation statements need to be worked with regularly and continually.
You might even write them down and keep them with you as a reminder until they become a habit you repeat consistently. As the definition indicates, the statements are positive and will be dedicated. With a conscious effort at the process, you can affect your subconscious mind and reshape your inward and outward life.
Important to affirmation is your emotional status when you are saying your statements. Do your best to release physical or emotional stress during your affirmations. As with any other spiritual undertaking, you must concentrate and believe in what you are doing.
Even though you may not initially believe your statements to be accurate, believe in the power of affirmations, and they will show you their strength. The stronger your focus, the more you feel, and the sooner you experience positive results.
The True Purpose of an Affirmation
Believe it or not, the words in an affirmation have no power to change anything in your life. As I said, affirmations are not magical incantations, and you may be surprised to learn that the purpose of an affirmation is NOT to change anything outside of yourself. Yes, your ultimate goal is to create better circumstances in one or more areas of your life, but that’s not the first thing that needs to happen.
Instead, the true purpose of an affirmation is to change the way you FEEL about a given topic. When you feel differently about something, you start thinking and believing differently about it. And when you think, feel, and believe differently, you will take different actions – and therefore, you will change the results you receive.
Many people don’t grasp the importance of this concept, so they create affirmations that focus more on their external conditions rather than how they feel. As a result, they don’t change their beliefs, their actions don’t change, and their circumstances don’t change either. With this in mind, think back to those example affirmations I shared.
Do those make you feel differently about money, health, or relationships? More likely, you don’t feel much of anything when reading them. That’s because they don’t get to the heart of what you want, which is to FEEL differently about that aspect of your life.
Affirmations Work in the Right Way
Affirmations are phrases and words that we repeat and, as such, reinforce patterns in our way of thinking and responding to life. Some affirmations may be harmful and have a destructive, confidence-sapping effect on us. Hypnotherapy can help us recognize how we talk to ourselves, where the voices and words originated, and identify any negative phrases as belonging to another person, perhaps a parent or teacher. When we recognize the negative way we’ve been talking to ourselves, we can identify it as belonging to the past and let it go as irrelevant to the person we are today.
1. Repetition of specific phrases establishes a more focused mindset. Of course, we need to use excellent and realistic terms. Still, by introducing positive affirmations into our daily life, we can change a downbeat outlook into one that starts to believe in a better future for ourselves. Objectives become more apparent as we begin to verbalize them to ourselves. By becoming positive, we start to think that more things are possible, feasible, and then, ultimately, probable.
2. We can then appreciate the value of becoming more positive in our internal dialogue. Affirmations help us to establish a positive mindset. By repeating a desired positive intent or outcome, we modify our thought patterns from a negative perspective into a more positive way of thinking. Hypnotherapy often uses positive affirmations as a way of healing negative thinking. We can then appreciate the value and relevance of the things that have happened in our life, respect the lessons, experiences, and skills acquired along the way, and move forward more positively into the future.
3. Internal talk emanates from us in the form of mood, demeanor, stance and body language. When we are down and depressed, we will give off negative energy. Conversely, positive internal talk generates a more upbeat mood, a positive posture, and more engagement in the outside world. Other people are more attracted to someone with a positive, enthusiastic aura.
4. Realistic affirmations facilitate positive change in our lives. Becoming more mindful of how we talk to ourselves, introducing healthy, forward-thinking goals and objectives, and starting to see them as viable and achievable can improve our quality of life and make us stronger and more successful. Quality affirmations work to enhance our life.
5. Writing out our affirmations and positioning them in prominent places, perhaps on the bathroom mirror, fridge, or cupboard doors, as our computer screen saver, keeps those phrases in regular view and can be regularly reinforced. We see those messages, sometimes without even realizing it, and they support the confidence-boosting sessions and the positive outlook we are working to achieve.
Importance of Affirmations for Success
Affirmations can be used in various applications such as achieving happiness, reducing stress, improving health, attaining prosperity, stopping bad habits, and more. To get the most from affirmations, you must remember that affirmations are merely tools. Not because you have recited your affirmation regularly does not mean that you have nothing else to do to achieve your goal. Affirmations will become more effective if you invest effort into your work and actions. It is also essential to remember that we must combine affirmations with positive behavior and philosophies so we will not be scared off by possible distractions along the way to success.
Like other things, time is crucial for making affirmations work their best on us. In general, saying, reciting, singing, or listening to affirmations can be done anytime you want. Nevertheless, it is more advantageous to use affirmations when the mind is more open and more compliant with suggestions. Therefore, the best times to recite positive statements are during meditation or daydreaming, waking in the morning, drifting to sleep, and when under hypnosis.
Repeating Affirmations:
As you begin using affirmations, you may start by setting aside about ten minutes daily to say your affirmations. After that, you can do what is comfortable with you regarding the frequency of reciting your statements. Of course, you may also repeat them as you see fit in your lifestyle.
Effective use of affirmations may also depend on several things.
• While affirmations can be used to achieve many goals in life, you must concentrate first on the two most important things. Therefore, affirmations work best if you work on two goals at a time instead of working on all of them simultaneously.
• The use of ‘now’ and ‘here’ in your affirmations. For example, simply saying I will be rich’ will program the subconscious that there will come a time when you will be prosperous, and it will not indicate that being rich is essential for you now.
• Always use the first person pronoun ‘I’ and your full name when reciting the positive statements.
• Remember that repetition is a necessary step in making your affirmations successful. Write them down in your journal. Post them on your board, and anywhere you will be able to recite and say them effectively.
Create Effective Affirmations
Sometimes you want to relax and listen to a hypnosis recording and let it guide you toward your desired outcome. Sometimes you feel too busy and may find it more suitable to allow the subliminal recording to play in the background. And then, there may be times when you feel too restless, or you are experiencing some pressing feelings you’d like to get out of your system and transform, times when you don’t feel like relaxing but would instead engage in some form of physical activity.
Writing affirmations is one of the things you can do at such times. You can register or type them, repeat them silently or aloud or even sing them according to your preference. Another purpose of writing affirmations is that they allow you to become aware of any conflicting beliefs hiding in your subconscious mind so that you can transform them simultaneously.
These general types of affirmations are close to the affirmations you were writing in the first stage of the affirmation process because what you’re doing here is affirming and aligning yourself with spiritual truths. You declare that you desire to experience what is already confirmed for you in the spirit in your physical world. You are acknowledging these spiritual truths and allowing them to express in your life.
