How do Positive Affirmations Work?

Now that you have come to an understanding of what Positive Affirmations are, you need to know how they work and the answer is not as mystical as you might think. There is not enough room on this page to explain it all in detail, but understand the following:

Positive Affirmations...

• motivate
• they keep the mind focused on a goal they influence the unconscious mind and activate its powers
• as they are positive statements, they change the way you think and behave, they make you more positive, energetic and active enabling you to transform both your inner and outer worlds
• they act as a direct link to the Universal Mind to help you achieve your goals as they act like spreading radio waves

Also understand that your Positive Affirmations directly relate to your energy, your energy directly relates to the Universe and the Universe relates back to you. So in other words, our affirmations work, based on, who we are.

Affirmations are simply a tool; a tool for influencing you. And you - by way of your energy (or vibrations) and your actions, influence the Universal flow as it relates to your life.

So because Positive Affirmations actually reprogram your thought patterns, they change the way you think and feel about things, and because you have replaced dysfunctional beliefs with your own new positive beliefs, positive change comes easily and naturally. This will start to reflect in your external life, you will start to experience seismic changes for the better in many aspects of your life.

Do you know how and when to use Positive Affirmations?

1. Devote some special times during the day for repeating them.
2. Repeat them wherever you are, and whenever you want and have the time.

Before you start, ask yourself whether you really want to get what you want to affirm for. Keep in mind that should you have doubts and you are not really sure that you want what you are about to affirm, your doubts will stand in your way.

Affirm with love, faith, feeling and interest, and feel and believe that your desire has already been fulfilled. This kind of thinking will accelerate its fulfillment.

It is natural for the mind to bring up doubts and negative thoughts, especially if your current environment and situation are very different from what you want to achieve. Persevere, and do not let your negative thoughts and doubts conquer you.

The best way to use your affirmations is to read them 3 times a day; once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once at night before you go to bed, at a minimum, you should read them at least once a day. There are many ways you can do this.

Here are a few examples to help give you some ideas of where to put your affirmations.

Mirror Method

Place a copy of your affirmation on your mirror. Each time you look in the mirror, read the affirmation.

Visual Cards

Place multiple copies of your affirmation in various rooms or places you spend your time at during the day. At home on the fridge, on your mirror, in your office at work, next to your bed, or even in your car.

Using Your PC

One of the most creative methods I've heard of, is using your PC's screen saver to pop up a graphical image of your affirmation. I've seen people use from a simple text scroll for their affirmation, to a little more creative graphical image that has the affirmation with a supporting picture next to the words. Each time the screen saver pops up, the affirmation is read.

If you decide to make use of affirmations in your life, be prepared for change.
