Powerful Affirmations Create Powerful Affirmations - Three Phrases To
SuperCharge Your Affirmation Practice
Affirmations should be one of the cornerstones of any attempt at self-improvement you are trying to make in your life. When used correctly, they can reprogram your mind and help you to succeed. Creating the thoughts, emotions and actions you need to realize your goals can be as simple as repeating an affirmation that resonates with you at the core level of your being. Many folks phrase their affirmations wrongly and don’t realize it. Could you be one of them? Affirmations need to be stated in the present tense, positively, with feeling and they have to be believable. For example, your affirmation should state, "I am financially independent," as opposed to, "I don’t want to be poor." Normally, you need to repeat "I am financially independent" several times a day, write it down, visualize it and feel it as if it has already happened. Over time, by consistently working with your affirmation you will start attracting the conditions, attitudes, people and behaviors that will create this reality for you. However, as you repeat, "I am financially independent," you are probably experiencing some doubt. You can see you aren’t financially independent (after all, you don’t have the $50,000 you want in the bank, the house of your dreams or the latest and greatest gadget, etc.) So even though you are consistently stating this positive phrase over and over, you may be feeling pretty negative towards yourself and the whole process. Most folks stop using affirmations fairly quickly because they don’t see much progress towards their goal and either feel silly or feel like they are lying to themselves by pretending something that isn’t true. However, it’s the mood they're in when they are stating their affirmation that messes up the process not the affirmations themselves. Emotions are an incredibly important part of working with affirmations. Removing any doubt from your mind is vital. There are a few phrases you can use to modify your affirmations to make them more believable. By using these phrases you can remove doubt from your mind, create more positive emotions within yourself and produce more reliable and faster results. The first of these phrases is "I am becoming..." so instead of repeating "I am financially independent," you would state, "I am becoming financially independent." Adding the word "becoming" to your affirmation will help remove doubt from the equation. Although your conscious and subconscious mind can easily ridicule the notion that you are financially independent when you clearly aren’t, they cannot argue with the suggestion that you are "becoming" financially independent. The use of the modifier "becoming" allows your mind and emotions to easily accept this modified affirmation and as a result makes it more powerful. Another way to modify affirmations is to add the phrase "I am in the process of..." to begin your affirmation. "I am in the process of attracting the perfect career." A third phrase to modify your affirmations to make them more believable to yourself is to use the words, "I choose..." instead of, "I am..." when stating your affirmations. "I choose to be/become financially independent." Using any one of these three modifiers will help you more readily accept your affirmations as true. Doing this will increase the power of your positive feelings, which will increase the power of your affirmations, which will help you to bring them into your reality sooner rather than later. How great is that!
