Advice on Affirmations

Your subconscious mind believes every word you say and you can use this to your advantage. The key is creating positive self talk or affirmations.

Affirmations are short positive phrases we tell ourselves several times a day that begin to change our lives in positive ways.

The first step in creating a great affirmation is to establish a clear intent. What do you really want to happen as a result of the affirmation?

Do you want to lose weight, do you want to feel joy and happiness? The clearer you can be the clearer the outcome.

The second step is to phrase your affirmation in the most positive language possible. Instead of saying “I am not going to over eat”
(note the negativity), say “I eat only foods that nourish my body and stop when I feel full”. In order for your mind to understand the language youhave to think about the words and thinking about over eating, even with the “not” in front of it, will cause you to over eat.

Make all your affirmations in the present tense. Assume that what you want is happening in your life as you say the affirmation. “Each day in every way my body is becoming thinner and thinner.”

The third step is to crank up your desire for what you’re affirming. It sometimes helps to exaggerate what you want. Shoot for the stars, make it big. Really, really want it.

Finally repeat the affirmation to yourself as much as possible. You can write it down over and over again. You can post it around your house so you see it as you go about your day. You can say it every time you eat or drink or use the restroom. Or you can use the affirmation when you get to your special place using self hypnosis.

The key to affirmations is INTENTION + DESIRE + REPETITION = MANIFESTATION.

Now go create the life you want!
