Foundation of Successful Affirmations

The foundation to an effective and successful affirmation...

Believe-ability - First and foremost your affirmation must be believable to your unconscious mind.

In every instance this is the stage where most of the affirmations people use, fall apart.

For instance, you are so broke that you cannot even afford to pay attention.

YET you now repeat to yourself "I earn 10,000 pounds or dollars per month", believable to your mind? I don't think so! Would you not agree that this is an unrealistic if not completely unbelievable message you are giving to the unconscious mind at this point while hoping for and not believing in a positive response

Here's a Suggestion

Always start by making choices and one of the best and easiest ways to do this is to begin your affirmations by using the words "I choose", so as opposed to:

"I earn 10,000 ponds or dollars per month"

Why not rather say "I choose to earn 10,000 pounds or dollars per month"

Try it!

Can you feel the difference? Even though you are not earning it yet, you are making a quantum leap in getting there by choosing to do so.

You now have the foundation, and are ready for the first building block to your successful affirmation.

Your unconscious mind continuously hunts for proof.

As your unconscious mind can not distinguish between positive or negative, right or wrong, good or bad it will hunt for proof either way.

Countless people stay in poverty because they associate pain, bad, wrong and so forth with money.

Think on this for a moment...

Every time you have to spend money, you think of your loans or your outstanding and unpaid bills which in turn unintentionally causes you crucial pain. Or whenever you desire financial abundance or prosperity your immediate response is, "It is wrong, I'm a bad person for desiring money" because most of us were raised to believe that scarcity is good and "being rich" is bad.

Now... what to do?

As it is the feeling you attach to money that makes you rich or poor.

So the logical question is... how can you turn this to your advantage?

You are absolutely right... Next time you go out shopping, think of the pleasure of being able to spend as much money as you want to, on whatever you desire and feel the pleasure instead of feeling pain.

What would happen if you associated pleasure with spending money?

Why not try the following?

At the moment you take out your money or credit card, say this affirmation to yourself "I always have more than enough to spend."

This affirmation is always true, as long as you have money left in your pocket (no matter how much), so the unconscious mind will believe it.

AHA! Why not combine the choice method which is the foundation with the proof method which is the building block.

For example next time you spend money say: "I choose to feel (foundation) that I always have more than enough to spend." You have money left in your pocket (building block), so the unconscious mind will believe it.

Observe how you feel. With these methods only a few times of real life choices and proof will make your unconscious mind believe it.

Next time you desire financial abundance instead of thinking it is bad or wrong, think of the good you can do, the opportunities you can give those close to you, look around you and immediately give thanks for one thing you have, any one thing YOU HAVE!
