The self-improvement technique, positive affirmations, has been used for centuries by successful individuals to achieve their goals. It is responsible for changing many average individuals into extraordinary overachievers. Can it work for you?
Unfortunately, many individuals who have tried using positive affirmations to increase their lives, have failed. Where do they go wrong, what secrets are they missing. Why does it work for some and not for others?
First we should discuss the true purpose of "using positive affirmations", simply put you are passing commands from your conscious mind to your subconscious mind. Your mind has the ability to turn whatever command it receives, and believes to be true, into a reality.
Did you catch that point, it's more important than you might think, your subconscious mind must accept the positive affirmations to be true. This is where many fail to move forward, you send an unbelievable message to your subconscious mind and expect positive results.
For instance, when you're sixty pounds overweight and completely out of shape and you tell yourself "I look great" or your broke and you tell yourself "I earn an excellent living" is that believable, lets be real here.
A great secret that works for me is to say instead "I choose to look great" or "I choose to earn $100,000". Try it, you'll notice a difference immediately. Your subconscious mind will find the statement "I choose" to be true and completely believable, and best of all, your subconscious mind will work to make it real.
Your subconscious mind is triggered by feelings and emotions, rather than words. So when using positive affirmations, use words that involve feelings like fun, comfortable, enjoyable and use visualizations as well. Use your imagination to invoke the feelings that you would feel if the object of the positive affirmations already existed.
