Affirmations are a powerful tool when used correctly.  Most of us learned to do affirmations in school when we repeated statements over and over again to memorize them.

Back then, the affirmations looked like:

• 30 days has September.
• I before E, except after C.
• In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

While these affirmations helped us memorize certain facts, they did not change us on a fundamental level.

Eventually, we learned that if we were to evolve in a significant way, we would need to change the thought patterns deep within our minds.

And despite the many new techniques which have come out in recent years, affirmations continue to be one of the best tools to make such evolutionary changes.

How to Use Affirmations

Using affirmations is actually a very simple technique.  All you need to do is repeat your chosen statements over and over again, as often as you can, with as much confidence as you can muster.

The more confident you are in your affirmations, the quicker your inner mind will accept the new programming.

Another powerful method of using affirmations is to record them and play the recording in the background while you do other things.

This taps into the power of subliminal programming, which distracts the conscious mind long enough for the subconscious mind to notice and store the positive statements presented to it by the recording.

This second method can actually produce better results because you can have the recordings play in the background a lot longer than you can sit and consciously repeat the statements over and over again.

And there is some evidence that playing such a recording while you sleep can also be effective.

 

How to Choose Effective Affirmations

While the use of affirmations is easy to understand, the creation of effective affirmations is less so.

Particularly because there is so much mis-information about how the inner mind works.  For example, some say that only positively-phrased affirmations should be used.  However, when a person's mind is heavily focused on negativity, positively-phrased affirmations can often have a reversed effect and product a result that is exactly opposite of what was intended.

Essentially, an effective affirmation will describe the end result you want, phrased as you would normally say it in everyday conversation.

And for even greater effect, you'll use several affirmations for the same goal, each phrased slightly differently, to give your inner mind a type of "mental fiber" to hold on to.

However, the ideas and concepts behind your chosen affirmations are much more important than the specific words used to phrase them.

For this, it's important to study successful people and identify the specific beliefs which have helped them be so successful.  This will help you become much more successful yourself than if you were to pick affirmations at random.
