Affirmations / Auto-suggestions / self-talk
Affirmation is one of the most basic ways to reprogram your subconscious mind.
It is simply a process of repeating your goals or new beliefs that you want to instill on your subconscious.
This can be done in the form of writing, saying verbally or mentally, listening or acting, until the statement is fixed into your subconscious mind.
If an affirmation comes from yourself, it is called autosuggestion. If it comes from other people, it is called heterosuggestion. It's that simple! Like it or not, you are already practicing affirmation everyday.
When you talk, your subconscious listens. When you grumble about your life, your subconscious listens and obediently follows your instruction by giving you the kind of life that you keep on grumbling about!
So from now onwards, watch what you say, especially what you say repeatedly.
I believe very few people seriously practice autosuggestion everyday. That's why there are fewer successful people in this world.
Warning!!! If you don't auto-suggest, you will be hetero-suggested. Everyday, you hear your friends complaining that the economy is bad, it's hard to pick a good stock these days, life is tough etc.
When you listen repeatedly, your subconscious mind starts to believe that it is true. Then you will see in your reality that it's true (because of the law of attraction). Finally, you are convinced that it is true.
If you do not want to be a victim of hetero-suggestion, it's important that you do affirmation everyday.
Here are some affirmations you can do.
- Every day in every way I’m getting better and better.
- Everything is coming to me easily and effortlessly.
- I am a radiant being, filled with light and love.
- I am naturally enlightened.
- My life is blossoming in total perfection.
- I have everything I need to enjoy my here and now.
- I am the master of my life.
- Everything I need is already with me.
- It’s okay for my to have everything I want!
- This is a rich universe and there’s plenty for all of us.
- Abundance is my natural state of being. I accept it now!
- Infinite riches are now freely flowing into my life.
- Every day I am growing more financially prosperous.
- The more I give, the more I receive and the happier I feel.
You can either write or read these affirmations before you sleep and after you wake up, or record them and listen to the recording over and over again before you sleep.
The key to success in affirmation is repetition.
Your subconscious mind is like your muscle. You have to keep affirming it with things that you want.
If you are lazy to do affirmation everyday, someone else will do the job for you and the result is always not something you want!
To me, the simplest way to keep myself positive is to listen to good self-help CDs everyday on my journey to my office.
The advantage of doing that is twofold:
- It allows me to start my day with a positive mental attitude.
- It cleans up my subconscious mind with positive beliefs so that my subconscious
