The Power of Positive Affirmations
Jeff Griswold
To a large extent, your happiness and your success in life
is determined by the thoughts you hold in your subconscious
mind. Positive affirmations are powerful statements that are
used to build a positive internal dialog. By consistently
repeating positive affirmations to yourself, you create positive
subconscious thoughts. These new, positive, productive thoughts
will replay automatically throughout your life. Each time
they replay, they'll reinforce the new positive inner-image
you have of yourself and your life in general. By replacing
old, negative thinking with new, positive subconscious thoughts
you'll be able to access the endless resources of positive
energy you have within yourself. And you'll be able to create
a new, positive reality for yourself.
When you use positive affirmations, let yourself really feel
them. Fully experience each one. Enjoy them. Assume each affirmation
to be true in your physical reality. Feel the positive emotions
that are appropriate for this positive reality. This will
help you make positive changes more quickly and automatically.
At the end of this report you'll find dozens of carefully
chosen, time-tested, positive affirmations that will help
get you started. Select those that you think will be most
helpful. Write them down, carry them with you, and use them
often. Get into the habit of saying them while you're doing
routine things such as brushing your teeth or washing your
hands.
Maximize the Benefits of Using Positive Affirmations
The following two nuggets of advice will help you maximize
the benefits of using positive affirmations:
1. Use the affirmations frequently. It's one thing to know
about affirmations and use them occasionally. It's quite another
thing to use them regularly everyday for at least 30 days.
Dr. Maxwell Maltz in his book "Psycho Cybernetics" asserted
that it usually takes 21 days to make any perceptible change
in one's mental image. For some people it takes a bit longer.
That is why you should use them frequently for at least 30
days.
2. You must continue to actively "eject" the negatives you
experience daily. If you use affirmations occasionally, but
allow negatives to dominate your thoughts throughout the day,
any progress you make will be quickly negated. So, if you
find yourself thinking a negative thought, consciously "eject"
that thought and replace it with one of your favorite positive
affirmations.
Start Using Positive Affirmations Today
Using positive affirmations correctly is one important step
to changing your subconscious thoughts and changing your life
for the better. But most of us need assistance in doing this
properly and consistently. Many people find that listening
to audio programs (like those available at http://www.efflearn.com)
is the best way to provide the consistency that's needed to
develop new, healthy, positive thought habits. In addition
to positive affirmations, the best audio programs will incorporate
a variety of techniques including guided visualizations, mental
imagery, goal-oriented meditation, subliminal programming,
whole-brain learning, and more.
So, employ whatever resources you need to start using positive
affirmations consistently -- whether it's an audio program
or help from your friends or family. Be confident that you
can take steps to improve your life.
