#8 Affirmations (originally aired as Episode 004)
What are affirmations? Positive statements to push into action what you desire to be true. I like to think of them as taglines or life captions. Little tidbits of information that sum up your life.
The concept of affirmations has grown vastly popular due to Rhonda Byrne's The Secret (also a 2006 film), Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich. And many other thought leaders and influencers such as Louise Hay a Religious Science Practitioner who published You Can Heal Your Life, a guide to changing thoughts and beliefs.
Affirmations can help influence your subconscious mind. By consciously and intently thinking positive thoughts about your life, you influence your subconscious mind...in turn, your habits, behavior, attitude, and reactions can be altered to create a positive, peaceful and joyful life.
So how can you incorporate affirmations into your life?
Choose affirmations that are not too long.
Repeat them every time your mind is not engaged in something important, such as while traveling in a bus or a train, waiting in line, walking, etc., not while you are doing something that requires your mind to be busy with other things such as working, e-mailing or watching tv. You may also repeat them in special sessions of 5-10 minutes each, several times a day.
Be as relaxed as you can.
Pay full attention to the words you are repeating.
Stronger faith in what you are saying, and more desire and feelings bring faster results.
Preferably, choose positive words with no negative connotations. If you want to lose weight, don't use words such as, "I am not fat", or "I am losing weight." These are negative statements, bringing into the mind mental images of what you do not want. Repeat instead, "I am getting slim", or "I have my ideal weight". Such words build positive images in your mind.
Affirm, using the present tense, not the future tense. Saying, "I will be rich", means that you intend to be rich one day, in the indefinite future, but not now. It is more effective to say, and also feel, "I am rich now", and the subconscious mind will work at overtime to make this happen now, in the present.
By stating what you want to be true in your life, you mentally and emotionally see and feel it as true, irrespective of your current circumstances, and thereby attract it into your life.
