THE TRUTH ABOUT USING AFFIRMATIONSDoes
practice of “saying affirmations” really work?
We've all heard about using affirmations as part of our personal growth. But have you ever tried them? Most people who have tried using affirmations have done so with mixed results. Some people have trouble with affirmations because affirmations sometimes “feel like a lie”. And frankly, a lot of people feel that they just don't work at all. But using affirmations is one of those teachings that just doesn't seem to go away. A lot of people still believe in them and many respected speakers still preach
use of them.
But there are still some big questions about using affirmations:
1. If they do work, why don't they work all
time? 2. Is there a proper way to “say” them? 3. How long do I have to wait for what I'm affirming to show up ?
Well, I want to clear away some of
fog about using affirmations.
WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT AFFIRMATIONS?
Affirmations can be used to destroy bad habits and create good ones. Affirmations can help you get clear and stay focused. Affirmations can help you speed up
progress on your goals. Affirmations keep you balanced and calm. Affirmations can help you live
life you want. Affirmations can change your life.
The key, is that you really need to know how to use them. It is important to first understand what affirmations are really all about. In a nutshell, affirmations are everything you think, say, believe, feel and do. So if you've ever recited affirmations that just didn't happen in your life, it's because there is some conflict between what you are saying and who you are.
Once you come to an understanding of what affirmations are, you need to know how they work. I don't have enough room in this article to explain it all, but understand that our affirmations directly relate to our energy. Our energy directly relates to
Universe. The Universe relates back to us. So in other words, our affirmations work based on, (again), who we are.
Are you starting to notice a common thread? You see,
affirmations really have no power in
Universal scheme of things, it is you that has all
power. Affirmations are simply a tool; a tool for influencing you. And you - by way of your energy (or vibrations) and your actions, influence
Universal flow as it relates to your life.
SO WHAT DO AFFIRMATIONS ACTUALLY DO FOR YOU?
Affirmations are truly
key to getting yourself in line with what you want, need and desire in life. You see, affirmations, when used properly, change
way you think. They change
way you look at things; at yourself, your problems, your hopes and dreams. Once you change
way you think, feel and believe - you can then take
appropriate action to manifest your desires. And when you become harmonious with your affirmations -
things you are affirming began to show up.
