Daily Affirmations - the Power of Reprogramming Your Mind

Daily affirmations can totally reprogram your thinking and behavior in a way that produces amazing new results. This article gives you the proven formula for creating your own killer set of affirmations.

Do positive daily affirmations work? Absolutely!

The people who make fun of this practice and claim it's not worthwhile are just unhappy, bitter individuals who resent the idea of people they know getting happy and successful. Look more closely at the skeptics you know and see if I'm telling the truth.

The technology behind affirmations is very simple and rock-solid:

Through repetition you can reprogram your subconscious mind to believe pretty much anything you want to be believe. And once your deep, automatic beliefs have been altered in the desirable direction your habitual thinking and automatic actions will be working for you instead of against you.

The forces of belief and habit wield awesome power over a human being's life. Most of the ruin and despair in the world are caused by negative beliefs and bad habits; and every amazing success story is built on positive beliefs and good habits.

The first and foremost rule in doing affirmations is to be consistent. Do your affirmations at least once a day and preferably twice daily. Get totally religious about this and let nothing (nothing!) stand in your way of stating your affirmations; this is the only way to produce the desired results.

Remember your goal here is to literally reprogram your mind. This takes a lot of repetition.

Here are my other rules in creating affirmations that will make you absolutely unstoppable:

Get Organized

Write your daily affirmations down on standard sized index cards. The simple act of writing them will help cement them into your mind.

But the main reason to do this is to help you remember the exact phrase. It's important to use the winning format when stating your affirmations and if you write them down you're guaranteed to say them right every time.

Affirm With Absolute Clarity

Write your affirmations with absolute clarity. Leave no room for doubt as to what you are trying to achieve with each statement, and capture any necessary details for proper reprogramming of the mind.

For example, don't say things like "more money" or "weigh less". Be extremely accurate in your statements, i.e. "$50,000" and "{exact target weight}".

Affirm With Present Tense Confidence

Always write/state your daily affirmations in the present tense, as if you have already accomplished the specific goal. And always put real authority and confidence into each affirmation.

For instance if you want to make $50,000 extra this year, you would state:

"I have easily created an additional $50,000 this year."

Did you notice I threw in the word "easily"? Be sure to use adjectives freely when creating your daily affirmations. Say things like "happily" "joyously", and so forth to really emphasize the appropriate emotion for the affirmation at hand.

Add Emotion And Sensory To Your Affirmations

Writing adjectives into your daily affirmation statements is good, but you need to take this one step further by really feeling these emotions. Put yourself in the state of bliss, victory, joy, health, or whatever is needed to fit the affirmation.

Really feel great about what you are stating as if is already achieved. The fact that you are affirming in the present tense makes this easier to do.

Also when reading your affirmations, be sure to engage your five senses as much as possible. By this, I mean you should really visualize/experience your state of being, having, or doing whatever you are affirming; see, hear, taste, feel, and deeply embody everything about your specific victory while stating the related daily affirmation.

Most Of All: Have Fun!

It's great to have goals, especially big ones. But under no circumstances should you ever turn the process of setting goals and stating your affirmations into a J-O-B!

Don't get all tenses and stressed out over this stuff. If it's not really fun, hang it up and set new goals that you can actually enjoy.

The bottom line is if you can't enjoy this process your results will not be optimal. So be in the moment, get thrilled by your impending victory, and have fun with your daily affirmations!
