What is the purpose of positive affirmations?
You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.
David Viscott

You will be a failure, until you impress the subconscious with the conviction you are a success. This is done by making an affirmation which ”clicks.”
Florence Scovel Shinn

The purpose of positive affirmations is to change your thinking and your beliefs so they are aligned with what you want to bring into your life. Unless you have already begun to consciously create new thought patterns, many of your repetitive thoughts and beliefs about yourself and your situations are a result of what you accepted as the truth when you were very young. These accepted truths have been nurtured by your mind and your experiences without question. For example, if you believe that your bad luck attracts unfortunate circumstances, heartache and dead end jobs, you are proven correct as your reality mirrors your thoughts and beliefs.

You need positive affirmations to change these thoughts and beliefs. There are two keys to making positive affirmations work in your life. The first is to practice repetition. The second is to create affirmations that are achievable steps to believability. The two steps go hand in hand, and make the effect of your affirmations even stronger.

Practice repetition. Repetition is writing and speaking your affirmations several times each day, for days or weeks at a time until you see the results of this practice. Consider writing your affirmations in a journal, and adding other thoughts you have about each affirmation including your actions and evidence that you are moving closer to achieving this new state of being.

For example, if your affirmation is “I am authentic and speak my truth in all interactions,” you can journal about your opportunity at work to stand strong during an important discussion with your colleagues, even when the tide was shifting another way you calmly held your footing and conveyed your opinion.
Another way to easily use repetition is to add affirmations to your daily routine. Maybe you can repeat them as you shower or say them silently while you brush your teeth. You could also put your written affirmations on the controls of your treadmill and use your workout time as a super high energy affirmation exercise.

Identify a step to believability. Write affirmations that are not too far of a stretch. Find a way to state your goals and aspirations in a fairly realistic manner. That is not to say that you should limit yourself, but simply take it one step at a time. When you say your affirmations, you will need to believe that attaining them is possible. Which of these works for you — “I look great in my bikini on the beaches of Cancun,” ” I feel my body transforming as I walk and work with the weights,” or “I have found great ways to eat healthy every day.” Write one that you can believe now. Once you have comfortably achieved one goal, you can re-state your affirmation to make more progress.

The advantage of identifying a stage to believability is that your conscious mind will find the affirmation easier to Tadalis SX accept. If, for instance, you have found great ways to eat healthy, your conscious mind will accept that you are eating well and this belief will easily filter to your subconscious mind. Throughout the day, this belief will become stronger, and you will find more and more healthy options and find yourself automatically turning away from unhealthy options.

Using positive affirmations can open your conscious and subconscious mind to all of the wonderful possibilities that are waiting for you.
