What are Affirmations? DO THEY ACTUALLY WORK?
Positive affirmations have been a spiritual technology for thousands of years. They are a very simple tool to use- so simple in fact that they often get glanced over as being not very effective or just a plain hoax. In fact, nothing can be further from the truth. Affirmations are extremely powerful, life-transforming tools. If you apply the affirmations below correctly, you will see powerful transformations in your life.
How do affirmations work?
First and foremost, YOU MUST be willing to create change in your life. So you many need to practice telling yourself in your mirror that you are ready to create change. Practice this as many times as you need to feel powerful in that statement while looking into your own eyes.
Affirmations work by reprogramming your subconscious mind and changing the beliefs that you hold about yourself, your life and the world, which has the effect of attracting into your life the things you really want, but up until now have not shown up for you.
You see there is a huge disconnect between what our conscious minds think about ourselves and what our subconscious mind actually believes about ourselves. And 99% of the time, the subconscious mind is more powerful than the conscious mind. When you repeat a positive affirmation over and over, even if your conscious mind doesn’t think it is true, over time your subconscious mind begins to believe it to be true and then it begins to override your conscious mind.
You might be wondering how changing your subconscious beliefs affect you in the world outside of your mind. Well, whether you realize it or not, the beliefs that you hold in your subconscious shade the way you see the world and what opportunities you attract in.
Let’s say that on the outside, you appear to be confident, positive and happy, but on the inside you really believe (even without realizing it) that you are not worthy of great things and big success. Well, in that case, that underlying doubt and belief in your own unworthiness will sabotage you. You may not feel worthy and confident, so you do not see career or promotion opportunities available to you, or you don’t think that they apply for you, or perhaps you think you are not good enough, pretty enough, handsome enough to talk to that man or woman you meet a party. There are many ways that having a negative subconscious belief can be sabotaging your life.
Positive affirmations, in essence allow you to reprogram those subconscious beliefs so that they do not hold you back. You can program yourself to feel more worthy, capable, confident, energized, happier, joyful, etc.
Remember, however; you don’t need to know how they work in order for them to work. Just try them consistently for 30-90 days and see for yourself the results. The proof is always in the pudding. Happy Affirming to You!
