When the concept behind positive affirmations is explained, it is easy to understand why so many people incorporate this practice into their daily lives. It becomes a habit, and once one goal is achieved, you find yourself moving on to another.
The concept is quite simple. There are two levels of absorbing, retaining, and reacting to information. The first level is known as the ‘conscious mind,’ and the second is known as the ‘subconscious mind.’
I like to think of the ‘conscious’ mind as the ‘surface.’ It takes things at face value and responds based on the immediate information it receives.
The ‘subconscious’ mind, on the other hand, is the ‘deeper’ part of the mind that we unconsciously communicate with. It responds emotionally to the information we consistently feed it.
For example, if we repeatedly tell ourselves that we are unattractive and ugly, that is what our subconscious mind will absorb, and we will see ourselves in this negative light.
However, if we consistently affirm that we are fit, healthy, and radiant, our subconscious mind will believe this to be true, and we will naturally feel this way, whether we are currently fit and healthy or not.
By continuously repeating positive affirmations about something we desire, we can effectively ‘re-program’ how we perceive ourselves. This positive mindset then attracts positive things back to us (you may have heard of ‘The law of attraction’).
There are a few guidelines that you should follow when practicing positive affirmations. Firstly, be absolutely clear about what it is you desire. Speak about your desire as if you already possess it. Instead of saying, ‘I want to be a millionaire,’ you may say, ‘I own a million-dollar house with a swimming pool, a red Porsche 911, and…’
Be specific in describing the details of the house, the specifications of the car, and the amount of money you have. The more precise you are, the more tangible and real it will appear, and the quicker it will manifest in your life.
You must be disciplined and practice your positive affirmations daily. Truly feel and believe what you are saying or thinking, and you will soon witness significant changes within yourself and your life.
