USING AFFIRMATIONS TO CHANGE
Yes, You CAN Turn Your Life Around With Affirmations.

PART TWO
In a previous article, I outlined how to make money and overcome negatively-charged affirmations that may have an adverse effect on your life. Today I'm going to talk about how positive affirmations can change your life. There are some important aspects to creating positive affirmations. We're going to build on the previous topics discussed. Previously, we learned a few guidelines, so let's go over them briefly.
Affirmations should always be positive. If, for example, you want to quit or stop something, don't mention the bad habit you want to stop. Instead, try to create sentences using words that define the desired state you want to be in AFTER you quit or stop your bad habit. Take, for example, binge eating. Instead of affirming "I no longer am a binge eater," you should say, "I eat a perfect amount of nutritious food every day." If you'd like to decrease the amount of cravings you get , you might say "I crave small portions of nutritious and healthy food."
If you don't think in the manner your affirmations are created, it won't "hit home" as efficiently. If your normal everyday mode of speech is simple, create simple-sounding affirmations. You should also be aware of the way you affirm emotional states to yourself normally, and emulate the tone of voice internally when repeating your consciously-created affirmations.
Be sure to also create your affirmations in the present tense, and don't include future of past tenses. Now that we're up to speed, I'll give you some example and try to answer some frequently asked questions. Many people ask me, "What should my affirmations be about?" The response I most often give to such inquiries is--Always try to make your affirmations have positively-charged emotions. For example, "I feel great, I feel full of energy, and I feel secure."
People also ask, "Are there any things I should consistently include in my affirmations?" My typical response? Your affirmations should include how you like your life to be. For example, when trying to create prosperity with "Money to be Made Online," I said things such as, "I am a successful person, I attract wealth and success, I work with other successful and positive people."
There are various approaches to creating affirmations. An alternative method is to use them to counter your negatively-charged affirmations. If, for example, you catch yourself saying something negatively charged to yourself, have a pre-made positively-charged affirmation that counters, and balances, the negative thought. Use the pre-made affirmations to counteract the negative aspects you feel about yourself. It may take weeks to months, but you'll notice changes after a while.
The next question I'd like to address is: "What are some real-life examples? Has this technique worked for you?" I'll give you a real-life example by telling a short story.
I was fresh out of college when I found myself in debt, and had to pay bills. Even though I had a job, the interest from my bills made the process creep along very slowly, and I was eager to get out of debt as quickly as possible. I decided to enter the business of selling products online at a discounted price. At first I was lazy and just copied other online stores, selling their products for a small commission. I wasn't making much money, and was about to quit.
During those times, I had streams of negatively-charged thoughts, such as "Maybe I'm not cut out for this stuff, I can't do it, My store isn't as successful as others." All these negative thoughts, if allowed to continue, would have forged my path to failure in the online world of business. However, I used the technique outlined above.
I started counteracting each negative thought with a positive one. After a while, I noticed that I didn't feel bad about my store anymore, but was a little lazy and insecure about taking the risk of investing some money for advertising, and launching a store where I bought products straight from the distributor, like all the other big stores. I created affirmations for those setbacks as well, and before I knew it, I was making good money, and was able to pay my bills.
Wouldn't you like to have the same type of success? Whether you're making money online with "Money to be Made Online" or have a job in the corporate world, affirmations can help you succeed.
Until next time, I hope to see you in the lands of success and happiness.
