Why Do Some Affirmations *Work* - and Others Dont?


By definition,an affirmation is a statement repeated time andagain either verbally or mentally-or written down. The wordsof the affirmation statement - in themselves -when spoken,thought of, or written *without* a pictorial (visualized) oremotional connection- make a very weak affirmation.

Affirmations, when worded correctly -- and when emotionallycharged - are able to tap into the unlimited creative power ofyour subconscious mind, and manifest your desires.

Affirmations are not all created equal. Some are, of course,better than others. When you examine the structure of these power affirmations, you,too, can learn how to create your own powerful affirmations foryour specific purposes.

Consider these:
"I am what I choose to be."
"All my needs are met instantaneously."
"I love and accept myself exactly as I am."
"_____________ comes to me easily and effortlessly."
(Fill in the blank with what you desire.)"I am now perfectly healthy in body, mind and spirit."
"I now create my wonderful, ideal life."
What do the above power affirmations have in common?

1) They're stated in the present tense.

An affirmation is more effective when stated in the presenttense. For example;"I now have a wonderful job." Avoid affirmingsomething in the future tense, e.g."I am going to have awonderful job" or the results will always be waiting to happen.

2) They express a positive statement.

Affirmations need to be stated in the most positive termspossible. Avoid negative statements. Affirm what you do want,rather than what you don't want. For example:"I am no longersick." This is a negative statement. Instead, affirm: :"I am nowperfectly healthy in body, mind and spirit." This statement ismuch more powerful as it is positive and reinforces your desiredgoal and doesn't confuse your subconscious mind with the mentionof the undesirable condition.

3) They're short and specific.
Short affirmations have a far greater impactat the subconscious level than those which are long and wordy.Keeping them specific and to the point adds power as the idea isuncluttered by extraneous elements.

The mechanics that make affirmations powerful are:

* Repetition
The importance of repetition cannot be overemphasized. Itimprints the affirmation into your subconscious mind.

*Emotions
Get involved, be passionate, and use your emotions. Thinkcarefully about the meaning of the words as you repeat themrather than just writing, typing or saying them.

*Persistence
Practicing affirmations with persistence achieves results muchsooner than practicing them periodically.Successive sessionswill have a compounding effect.

*Belief
You don't necessarily have to believe your affirmation initially,in order for it to work. Belief will grow with your forthcomingsuccesses. What you do need is the ability to *feel* what itwould be like when the desire you're affirming is fulfilled, oryour need met. Every time that you have a need -and that needis met -a certain "feeling" is produced in you.Simply evoke that same feeling when you state your affirmation. That is, you need to feel with every fiber of your being that what you desire has already happened. Without this feeling, youraffirmation is powerless.

*Impress Yourself
Personalize your affirmations. They must *resonate* with you feel right for you. The stronger your connection with theaffirmation, the deeper the impression it makes on your mind andthe sooner you will experience positive results.

So there you have it - the simple formula for creatingaffirmations that work. Based on the above, you can easilycreate your own affirmations to manifest any desire or need youhave in life.

TIP: Although the practice of affirmations is easy, some peoplefind it challenging to repeat the affirmations continuously whilemaintaining the highly charged emotional state necessary inmaking affirmations work. GOOD NEWS!You can now use yourcomputer to make the affirmation process effortless-and you can automate those challenging aspects (such as maintaininghighly charged emotions),thereby manifesting your desires morequickly!
