Affirmation has been used by successful people forcenturies. It has helped many ordinary people achieveextraordinary results in their lives. It has turned manyfailures into successes. It has made many miracles happenin the history of human evolution. However, the majority ofpeople who use affirmation find that it doesn’t work. Whyis this the case? What are the elements that people havemissed when they use affirmation techniques? I constantlyask myself these questions, and seek for the answers. Theresult is, no one book gives the complete answer. Some tipsgiven in one book work for a specific situation, but notfor others. Other books give other tips that work for othersituations, but not for this. I have tested and filteredout the ineffective ones, and left only what I call theultimate effective technique secrets.
The purpose of affirmation:
Before I give you the effective techniques, I must make youunderstand the true purpose of affirmation. Simply stated,the purpose of affirmation is to pass a command from theconscious mind to the subconscious mind. The subconsciousmind has the ability, in anything it accepts as true, to dowhatever it takes to turn it into reality. The purpose ofan affirmation is to pass a message to the subconsciousmind, and to make it believe the message is true. So thisbrings us to the first element of an effective affirmation.
1.The affirmation must be believable to the subconsciousmind
Most of the affirmations people use, fail at this firststage. They tend to give an unrealistic message to thesubconscious mind, hoping for a positive response. If youare financially broke, and you say to yourself “I earn$100,000 per year”, is this believable to your mind? Ifyour body is totally out of shape, and you say to yourself“I am very attractive”, is this believable to your mind? Idoubt it.
What if you are currently broke, and you want to make$100,000 per year? What if you are out of shape, and youwant to make yourself attractive? I find the best andeasiest way is to use the word “I choose” in youraffirmation.
Instead of saying “I earn $100,000 per year.”
Say “I choose to earn $100,000 per year”
Instead of saying “I am very attractive”
Say “I choose to feel that people find me attractive”
Do you feel the difference?
2.The subconscious mind seeks for proof
There is a misconception that the affirmation must berepeated thousands of times before it can be installed inthe subconscious mind. This is not necessarily true. Youcan use the repetition method to embed your affirmation,but there is an easier way. It is, at the time you find theproof, state your affirmation. Many people stay in povertybecause they associate pain with money. Whenever they spendtheir money, they think of their bills, loans etc. Thiswill automatically lead to ultimate pain. It is the feelingyou attach to money that makes you rich or poor.
How can we turn this to our advantage? Instead of feelingpain when spending money, what if we associate pleasurewith it? Next time when you go out shopping, at the momentyou take out your money or credit card, say thisaffirmation to yourself “I always have more than enough tospend.”
See how you feel. This works because the subconscious mindsees the proof. As long as you have some money left in yourpocket, this affirmation is always true, so thesubconscious mind will believe it.
How about if we combine the first and second methodstogether and make an affirmation like this: “I choose tofeel that I always have more than enough to spend.” Saythis at the time you spend your money. See how you feel.You don’t have to repeat it thousands of times, a few timesof real life proof will make your subconscious mind believeit.
3.The affirmation must trigger feelings
A fact about the subconscious mind is that it does notspeak in words, you can only communicate with it throughfeelings, and emotions. There are two methods that you canuse to trigger your feelings. The first method is to usewords that involve feelings. Words like “fun, enjoyable,comfortable, delightful” will work effectively. The secondmethod is to use imagination. Visualize that the situationstated in your affirmation has already come true. Seeyourself in that situation and feel the feelings.
4.The affirmation must obey the 3 Ps factor.
The 3 Ps are Positive, Present Tense, and Personal.
Affirmations must be stated positively. Instead of saying“I am not fat”, say “I choose to stay slim”. The reason forthis is that before the mind knows the meaning of, “I amnot fat”, it must think of what fat means first. So sayingthat statement will inevitably lead to the feeling of beingfat.
Affirmations must be in the present tense. Many booksmention this. However, I only agree to some extent. If yousay “I have a luxury car”, your mind will not believe you.The reason I include this here is that once it is combinedwith the first technique, it will work perfectly. Now say“I choose to have a luxury car”. Your mind will do its bestto bring it into reality.
Affirmations must be personal. Your subconscious mind onlyworks for you, not for others. If you say “Ann loves me”,it will not be effective, because you have no control overAnn. Now say “I choose to feel that Ann really loves me”.This time you are in control, because you can control yourown feelings.
5.Personal development affirmations should be stated in thecomparative
“I am confident” may not be as effective as “I am becomingmore and more confident”.
An even better affirmation might be “I choose to feel moreand more confident”.
The reason for using the comparative, is because there isno end to how much more confident you can become.Otherwise, your mind may think you are already confidentenough, and it will not need to do any more work.
These 5 techniques are the most effective ones that I havefound from my research on affirmations. If you can use allthe 5 techniques, I guarantee your results will be amazing.Even if you only use one or two of the techniques statedhere, you will find your affirmations will become far moreeffective.
