They swim fifteen rounds,
something you have never done before.As you desire the respect of your
friends, you want to show them that you can make it too. You start
swimming, and at the same time keep repeating in your mind: "I can do
it, I can do it...". You keep thinking and believing that you are
going to complete the fifteen rounds. What are you actually doing? You are
repeating positive affirmations.
More than often, people repeat
in their minds negative sentences and statements concerning the situations
and events in their lives, and consequently bring upon themselves
undesirable situations. Such sentences and statements work both ways, to
build or destroy. It is the way we use them that determines whether they
are going to bring good or harmful results.
Affirmations work in the same
manner as creative visualization. The repeated words build mental images
and scenes in the mind, and help to focus on the aim, object or situation
one wants to achieve or create. Frequent repetitions affect the
subconscious mind, which in turn reshapes and affects the way one thinks,
acts and behaves.
The conscious mind, the mind
you think with, starts this process, and then the subconscious mind takes
charge. This means that the most frequent thoughts that pass through your
mind, ultimately affect your life and your destiny.
Affirmations work like
commands that are given to a computer. They influence us, other people,
events and circumstances. It might seem strange to you, but they do also
influence the people we meet, our circumstances and the events we
encounter.
Sometimes they work fast, but
more often they need time. Repeating positive affirmations a few minutes,
and then thinking negatively, neutralizes the effects of the positive
words. You have to refuse negative thoughts, otherwise you will not attain
positive results.
We mentally repeat negative
statements, without even being aware of the process. We use them when we
tell ourselves that we cannot do something, that we are too lazy, or when
we believe we are going to fail. The subconscious mind always accepts and
follows what we tell it, whether it is good or bad for us, so why not
choose only positive statements?
How to Repeat Affirmations
It is advisable to repeat
affirmations that are not too long, as they are easier to remember. You can
repeat them anytime your mind is not engaged in something in particular,
such as while traveling in a bus or a train, waiting in line, walking etc,
but do not affirm while driving or crossing a street. You may also repeat
them in special sessions of about ten minutes each, several times a day.
There should be no physical,
emotional or mental tension while repeating them. The stronger the
concentration, the more faith you have in what you are doing, the more
feelings you put into the act, the stronger and faster will be the results.
It is very important to choose
only positive affirmations. If for example you desire to lose weight, do
not say, "I am not fat, I am losing weight." By saying this
sentence you are repeating to your subconscious mind that you are fat. The
word "losing" also evokes negative images. It is better to say,
"My body has an athletic form, and weighs the right and healthy
weight". Such words evoke positive images in the mind.
It is important to affirm in
the present tense, not the future tense. Saying: "I will be
rich", means that you intend to be rich one day, in the indefinite
future. You are actually telling yourself that some day you will be rich,
never now. It is better and more effective to say, and also feel, "I
am rich now", and the subconscious mind will work overtime to make
this happen now, in the present.
As to results, sometimes they may
come fast, and at other times might take more time to manifest. Getting
results depends on how much time, energy, faith and feelings you invest in
repeating your affirmations, on the strength of your desire and on how big
or small is your goal.
By using the power of
affirmations you state what you want to be true in your life. You see
reality, as you want it to be. For a while, you ignore your current
circumstances and your doubts, and concentrate on a different reality.
