Yes, You CAN Turn Your Life Around With Affirmations.
By Keith Londrie
Negatively-charged affirmations can adversely affect mental health, quality of life, and your relationships with other people. If you care about your loved ones, friends, and your career or education, you owe it to them and yourself to study this topic and change your life for the better. Even if there's nothing wrong, you're not depressed, and you're happy, you can still use affirmations to complete goals quickly and more efficiently.
I recently purchased a book called MONEY TO BE MADE ONLINE, and I used affirmations to stop being lazy, and then I used wealth affirmations to build an amazing business that I'm working full-time with today.
So what's an affirmation? Simply put, affirmations are statements you make to yourself. It's also categorized as "Self-Talk" and sometimes "stream of thought."
Our stream of thought can directly affect our emotional state, because we are usually stating how we feel. For example, you just took a shower and affirm to yourself "Wow! I feel so fresh and great!" Or on the other hand, you've been playing in mud with your son or daughter, and you step inside the house affirming, "Uck! I fee so dirty and tired." These statements not only affirm how you feel, they maintain that state of emotion.
Because affirmations are used in such a manner, to affirm how we are feeling, we can "switch it up" and consciously create affirmations to sort of "trick" or coax our subconscious into believing that's how we actually feel. That's why in the business world, trainees and newcomers are told to "Act as if," because the subconscious can't define what is real or in your imagination. The same process is used to break down information from the outside world and create a picture in your brain.
There are some things, however, that your subconscious will listen to, and some things it won't. For example, you should always keep your affirmations in the present tense. If not, your subconscious will categorize it as "garbage date." Make sure that when you create an affirmation it's in the present tense, you want to change right now, not before or after.
You also want to keep in mind that your subconscious doesn't see time the same as you experience it consciously. Everything is pretty much now or never. So when creating your affirmations, make sure to not only use the present tense, but form the sentence as if it has already happened. For example, if you want to change from depressed to motivated, what you don't want to do is say something like, "I'm depressed now, but I'll be motivated later." Instead say, "I'm motivated to complete this project," and leave depression out of the statement completely.
The next step you want to cover is to make sure you use everyday language, which you're accustomed to. It should be completely personalized, in the exact form you normally affirm things to yourself. Remember we're trying to emulate the same way you subconsciously maintain states of emotions.
And the tip I want to share with you about affirmations is that they MUST be positive. You don't want anything like "I'll never smoke again." First of all, the negative trait "smoking" is included in that statement, and your subconscious will focus in on that statement, hindering your effort to quit. Secondly, the word "never" isn't recognized by your subconscious. There isn't "never" or "always"--there is only "now" and the energy to focus on it. In that statement, the energy was based around cigarettes, thus you're only affirming your desire to smoke, rather than creating a positive affirmation to quit.
