I was sitting with a friend Kelly the other day and she noticed the calendar alert on my cell phone would periodically sound which resulted in the appearance of a few powerful words on the screen. I told her that the words were NOT JUST WORDS but ACTUAL things, I said "these are my power deliberate belief affirmations". Inspired by Dr. Joseph Murphy, I decided 3 years ago that I wanted to reprogram my subconscious mind with powerful words that I felt would improve my life, change my behavior and overall heal my heart emotionally from the wounds of the past. I decided to deliberately choose new words of power that I wanted to believe and create in my life. I began to write down affirmations in a notebook and would read them several times through out the day. I noticed when I would read them I felt better each time I did that. Then, I decided to post sticky notes with affirmations on them in my bathroom mirror and while brushing my teeth I would say them silently in my mind and later out loud as I put on my makeup.
We go through life operating through our beliefs whether we are conscious of them or not. The subconscious mind is like your computer. It takes an input, processes it and gives an output. It does not think by itself. It does not distinguish between good or bad. If we put garbage in a computer we get garbage as output. Same applies to the mind. (Negative input; self-talk/thoughts produces negative experiences). Replacing old unwanted negative beliefs that are no longer serving us and replacing them with positive thoughts, produces good actions being performed and good deeds being done.
By constantly affirming powerful words, positive thoughts are impressed on your subconscious mind and, in turn, your thoughts and actions also turn out to be great. So, in order to change your beliefs and create a new reality, you have to bombard your subconscious mind with thoughts of your desire. However, these thoughts have to be worded carefully, otherwise the results may not be as expected. I make sure that I write my affirmations in present tense such as: I have, I am, always in the NOW! :) I only use positive statements. It seems to me that the subconscious mind is incapable of dealing in negatives.**smile**
Repetition is an awesome way of conditioning the mind. In order to bring about significant changes in your life, affirmations have to be done several times a day until they become a reality. If you do them for a few days only, the expected results may not come. Affirmations can either be spoken or be written down. When speaking, repeat them emphatically, preferably throughout the day. When I first started I would repeat them at least twenty times in the morning just when I got up and twenty times in the evening just before I’d go to sleep. Another great way is to write them down at least fifteen times daily. Writing is a faster way of impressing your subconscious mind says Napoleon Hill, in his legendary book Think And Grow Rich.
I like to think in the mind frame of a Chief Indian who wants to bring down the rain, he does the rain dance until he gets the rain. Ditto for affirmations, I do them until I get the desired results. However, for those who may not have time to write or say them twenty times in a row, I would suggest putting reminders in your calendar on your smart phone. I have found this to be the most helpful and quite the easiest. All you do is set it and forget it. :) Set the affirmation in your calendar as a reminder like you would an appointment or an event for the appropriate time you would like to say your affirmation.
Here is one of my fav affirmations: There is nothing that I can not be, do or have! I have a huge non physical staff that is ready to assist me and I am ready to receive what I justly earn.
Love and Light,
