How to Use Affirmations to Get Anything You Want

Do you know how to use affirmations? As with just about any subject, there are a lot of nay sayers when it comes to affirmations. Many will state that affirmations do not work. Well many people will tell you that investing in the stock market did not produce positive results for them as well. Yet there are people that have made a killing in the stock market.

What is my point?

My point is simply this ... maybe you do not fully understand the correct way to make affirmations work for you. You can say affirmations for many subjects: health, wealth, anxiety, love, etc. you name it. The key to making affirmations work ... is how they make you feel. Does your affirmation change your mood? Or do you have an inner voice cancelling the affirmation? Do you hear your small voice (ego) telling you it just isn't true? "I am rich", "I am lean and at my ideal weight", "I am in a wonderful loving relationship with my soul-mate".

Does you ego argue with you: "rich ...you're broke", "you don't look lean to me", "looks to me like you are alone." This is when you need to take control. You need to take control of your mind and get it to focus on WHAT YOU WANT. You need to say your affirmations and feel the feelings of what you are affirming. So if you say "I am rich" over and over again, you need to feel like your are rich. The affirmation is your re-programming your subconscious mind (and drowning out your ego) so you do get what you affirm.

Words by themselves do nothing. You need to feel the power of your words - as in the words in your affirmations need to inspire, uplift, change your state of being so you do feel better. So pick words that bring you mental pictures that uplift you and feel good.

Your affirmation could be a single word. For example: riches or lean or wealth or love. If these words bring powerful feelings ... then I'd say you should affirm them. I used to affirm "be love". This was a strong reminder for me to BE more loving. This especially worked for me when I was not in a great mood at the time.

Affirmations are a wonderful tool. I recommend you spend 10-15 minutes several times a day doing your affirmations and feel the feelings of having your affirmation now. The real key, as with any technique, is consistent application. Do it. Do it daily ... and believe it will make a difference.
