What are affirmations used for?

Affirmations affect your own and other people's conscious and unconscious levels and are believed to be able to aid in the reprogramming of the human mind. They can be used to affirm abundance, health, healings, love, money & prosperity, self esteem and success, amongst other things. Affirmations themselves can be either positive or negative. Positive affirmations are designed to challenge those negative beliefs and stop the flow of negative thoughts and words that support them.

How to use affirmations

- Affirmations are short, carefully constructed phrases that should be repeated many times to be effective.

- They can either be spoken or be written down. One suggestion is to write them down at least fifteen times daily.

- They need to be written in a special way to become effective, but it is very easy to understand and learn how to write your own commands for your own special needs.

- They are phrased in first person and usually in the present tense, rather than in future tense (ie: I have that now, rather than I will have that soon).

- Affirmations are often believed to be most effective when they are recited while you are in a peaceful, relaxed state of mind and when you can specifically visualize your goal.

And finally, the secret to using affirmations successfully?

- Visualize your goal as having "already" been achieved. Pretend like you are already basking in the accomplishment of achieving your intended outcome.
