Believe in your affirmations- Make them work
At every point in life you’ve met with someone or
the other who has encourage you. In school it would be your
parents, at work it is your colleague and at home it is your
partner. But the question is why do you need others to encourage
you? Why don’t you, yourself devise ways to increase your faith in
yourself? Improving self- belief and confidence is not an uphill
task anymore- all you need to do is create your own affirmations or
get them from your neighborhood CD shop. So what exactly are
affirmations? They are the words of encouragement that you utter to
you own being.
But
the concept of affirmations goes deeper than this. When you
write an affirmation and say it what you’re actually doing is
making your spirit believe in something better, something
that you have not been able to incorporate in your own life
till date. People plagued by bad habits are the most frequent
affirmation users. These people want to get rid of their
habits and want to believe in something more idealistic.
Consider the example of a smoker who badly wants to give up
the habit but does not know how to go about it. If he writes
an affirmation stating ‘Smoking kills. I will quit the habit’
and goes through it as regularly as possible after a while
he’ll start believing in it. The appeal to his subconscious
mind will work and in due course of time he will quit. That
is the power affirmations have.
So what do you need to make your affirmation
work?
State of mind- When you are thinking of
practicing an affirmation you need to consider your own state of
mind. This is a factor that can make or break the power of an
affirmation. To make an affirmation effective, you need to have a
relaxed state of mind. When the mind relaxes, the state of
consciousness interrupts lesser and the subconscious mind is ready
to absorb more.
Face yourself- Creating your own affirmation is
not the end of all problems. You need to face yourself if you want
to practise your affirmation effectively. Once you know you are
able to face your own problems, you’ll understand you’re ready to
incorporate the goodness of the affirmation. To make the
affirmation work, stand before the mirror and repeat the
affirmation time and again.
Do not suppress your voice- When you are uttering
your affirmation you need to imagine that it is bringing about
positive results. If you are practicing your affirmation in a loud
voice, it is easier for you to imagine the affirmation overpowering
your bad habit. It is precisely for this reason that you must
practice your affirmation in an isolated place.
Choose the right time- Practice your affirmations
regularly but practice them at times when the mind is not clouded.
In fact, the best time to practice affirmations is early in the
morning and late at night. Just after waking up from sleep and
before going off to sleep the subconscious mind remains active and
receptive.
