Okay, so now you know how to “stop the
brain train” and re-direct it to what you want in a more
positive light.
Great!
While you read this page, I'd like you to have one
thought in mind that you'd like to change....
Just
one thought...
A thought that you can
apply to yourself while I tell you how to write affirmations.
Do you have your negative thought you'd like to change? Then...
Let's
begin...
There are four things to keep in mind when writing
affirmations:
Keep
phrases positive
Keep phrases present
Use action words
Tag each phrase with
an emotion
KEEP
PHRASES POSITIVE
First thing to do when
writing
affirmations is to look for the positive side of the phrase.
What do I mean by that?
Sample
affirmations:
“I'm not going to fail the
test”
vs.
“I'm going to pass the
test”
Your brain hears the “going to
(fail/pass) the test...”
It doesn't hear
the “not.”
So, you always want
to look for the positive twist of any phrase.
Now,
take your personal thought that you want to change and find the
absolutely positive side of that thought using what you've learned from
the samples above...
If you want to lose weight, an example would be:
“I am easily becoming thinner everyday.”
Rather
than, “I am losing weight.”
Why?
Because the second phrase is still focused
on “weight,” which signals your voice
inside to remember that you still have more weight than you want.
Give
your focus to becoming thinner.
Make sense?
Good, let's move on...
KEEP
PHRASES IN THE PRESENT
Another thing to
remember when
writing affirmations is to keep your positive
thinking phrases in the present.
In
the above samples, I used, "I'm going to" do something
“in the future.”
It's better to see it “in the
present” because your mind can attach a solid emotion to a
present feeling of success....
Rather than a
“future”
feeling of success.
“I'm going to pass
the test”
vs.
“I easily pass
this test.”
What does your mind hear?
"How
easy it is to pass the test."
You're putting
yourself into the “moment” of success and giving
your subconscious mind something to “fulfill.”
Again, take your own thought and make it happen in
the present. In my
previous “becoming thinner” example, did you notice
I already put it into the present? I just did that out of habit.
Now
it's your turn...
Take your thought that you've turned
“positive” and
now place it into the present.
Next...
USE ACTION
WORDS
A very
important part of writing affirmations is using
words like
“easily” and “effortlessly”
to program your mind to think that it'll be easy and
effortless.
It's important to use these kinds of words to give
action to the
thought.
It
effortlessly inputs positive affirmations all day and night through
"invisible" subliminal recordings. It has
everything you need to take charge of your life!
Lastly, to make your
new programming work
– and not just be a bunch of words that your mind will
eventually tune out – you should add an emotional
“tag” to each thought...
This “emotionally imprints” the
thought into your
head because it talks your brain's language.
Your
subconscious “feels” thoughts...
So, if you really want this to work, do a
little creative
visualization with each phrase you input.
Wikipedia says it's the basic
technique that underlies positive thinking and is used as a technique
to visualize behaviors and events...
Put more simply, you're running a movie in your
head of how you want
something to “play out” in your life.
Does
it work?
Yes, if done correctly.
Staying with our “test”
example,
“I easily
pass the test” is a good phrase, but it doesn't
really offer much on an emotional level, does it?
“It
feels great to easily pass the test is a better
phrase, but still needs one more thing...
A moment
to feel how good it feels to have passed the test and
picturing what your life would be like after passing the test.
Focusing
on that “emotional moment” for a minute or two
gives the mind a new picture of your “outside
world” and makes it so real, that it's “the way
your life runs.”
So your “auto” pilot inside starts
helping
you to fulfill that life...
And by the way, your mind doesn't know the
difference whether that
thought is real or not.
So it
“believes” what
you're telling it...
That you've passed the test and
feel great about it!
You've changed
you mental picture of yourself and, "VIOLA," your mind fulfills that
new
picture.
After all, your subconscious's job is to
“keep you
sane,” right? It has to fulfill the picture you hold of
yourself. So, it does. It works to help you pass that test.
Writing
Affirmations
SUMMARY
Writing affirmations
becomes second nature
after awhile.
Just remember to:
Always
twist them to the positive
State them in the present
Use
action words, and most importantly
Take a moment to
visualize the way you'd feel once the affirmation
“comes” true.
OVERCOME
NEGATIVE THINKING AND
BECOME A MONEY MAGNET!
