Daily Affirmations: The Power of Reprogramming Your Mind
January 2nd, 2009 | 
Author: 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. Read the rest of this entry »
