Affirmations can be a powerful tool in clearing out the negative thoughts feelings and beliefs in your subconscious mind. However, even though most people have a general idea about what affirmations are, many do not use them in the most powerful and effective way.
That being the case, let's start with a brief review of what affirmations are, and how you can use them to have a powerful and positive impact on your life.
To start with, an affirmation is a positive statement about your self stated in the present tense. For example:
I am powerful beyond all measure.
NOT
Someday, when I am rich and have a good job, and people like me I will be powerful beyond all measure.
Also NOT
I am not weak. (always state the quality or desired outcome you want, not what you don't want)
While not absolutely necessary, I have found that many of the most powerful affirmations begin with the same two words, "I am". Some examples are:
I am living a life of perfect abundance.
I am vibrantly healthy.
I am attracting all that I need.
If it feels right to you, you can also state affirmations without starting with "I am" and still have a positive impact. For example:
I love the feeling of the wind blowing through my hair as I drive my new BMW convertible down the Pacific Coast highway.
The more energy and vivid imagery you can put into your affirmations the more powerful they will be. So now that you have the basics of creating powerful affirmations, why not practice writing some now.
Just remember when working with affirmations you want to be sure that:
- They are a positive statement about yourself
- They are stated in the present tense
- They have as much positive energy, passion, and vivid imagery as possible.
In part two of this series you will learn the most powerful time to work with affirmations. It's probably not the time you're thinking it is. Until next time take care, be well, and keep affirming the life you deserve and desire.
