Affirmations - feelings, emotions, thoughts that, intertwining with words, help to change beliefs, achieve goals. The main condition is stability. Those. affirmations are not a thought that flashed and disappeared. It is about deliberately and consistently projecting positive beliefs. Under what conditions can affirmations change your life for the better?
Our thoughts are a powerful magnet. For some people, it helps to attract good luck into life, while others have to constantly face problems and practically unsolvable tasks. Thoughts contribute to the fulfillment of innermost desires, but one must learn to control this power. And this is much more complicated than it might seem at first glance. Affirmations combined with positive beliefs can help guide your thoughts.
Compilation rules
When writing out affirmations for every day, you should avoid negative phrases. It is better to replace the words “I quit smoking” with “I lead a healthy lifestyle”. There shouldn't be any “never”, “stopped”, “not” in affirmations.
It is necessary to speak thoughts in the present, not in the past. For our subconscious, there is no past or future. There is only the present. We must become rich, healthy and happy now, at this moment. Want to be sure? Needless to say, self-esteem will improve tomorrow after a haircut or after a month of regular workouts in the gym. You should already feel confident in yourself. A new hairstyle and a more athletic figure will only highlight your personality.
Strong emotions come from specific attitudes. It is necessary to pronounce phrases with some reinforcement. For example, you might say “I bought myself a new fur coat”. But the phrase will become stronger thanks to clarifications. For example, "I bought myself a long, hooded mink coat." And if you also add images, feel the joy of buying, then the effect of affirmations will increase several times.
Thought control
For affirmations and positive thinking to be effective, you need to control your own thoughts and feelings that arise as a background screen saver while pronouncing "magic phrases". If you don’t believe what you say, then dreams will not come true.
For example, if you are overweight, but you say in front of the mirror that slender, it is unlikely that your inner voice will agree with you. Therefore, you need to carefully consider the affirmations. For example, you can say that every day you become slimmer and slimmer, better and better.
Why do we need affirmations if they do not contradict the real state of affairs? Separate facts and beliefs. For example, being overweight is a reality. And the thought that every year the figure will get worse and worse is a conviction, not a fact. It is necessary to work on their correction, tracking and working out every thought.
Frequent mistakes
The word “can” should be discarded when writing affirmations for each day. The subconscious mind does not perceive it, because completely confident in your capabilities. Saying "I can", you do not take responsibility, you only state a fact, nothing more. Accordingly, the subconscious mind will not begin to act.
- You must always think positively. Affirmations will be effective if delivered regularly. Otherwise, they will simply be forgotten by the subconscious, there will be other, more important tasks.
- Forget about the word “I will”, because it has nothing to do with the present.
- There is no need to write dozens of affirmations. Try to focus on one more important belief, and once you've gotten what you want, you can move on to the next affirmation.
- Please be patient! Working with thoughts is not easy. And you shouldn't expect quick results. Be patient and persistent in your aspirations..
Conclusion
Affirmations don't just need to be spoken. Feel them, draw positive images, imagine what you are dreaming of as if it has already come true. If you don’t add energy to your words, you’ll start mumbling regularly to yourself, nothing in your life will change for the better.
