The jury is out on whether affirmations work. On their own, I think they are a massive waste of time.
But - in my experience - Combining Visualization and Affirmations can certainly help you to get more of what you want.
This article explores the controversial realm of affirmations, and shows you how a slight shift can incorporate them into your visualization practice - with great results.
If you're about to givenup on affirmations... try this.
It might just be the answer you're looking for.
What are Affirmations?
Affirmations are effectively positive statements you repeat in order to influence your subconscious mind into adopting new beliefs.
For example, you might affirm "I am rich and happy", if you wanted more cash & positivity in your life.
Or you might use the famous Emile Coule affirmation "Every day in every way, I'm getting better and better", if you wanted to make big overall improvements.
The idea is, the more you use affirmations, the more likely you are to "really believe them"... and thus change your actions.
The Problem with Affirmations
Simply put, if you are repeating a statement you don't believe, your conscious mind will overule the affirmation, and it just won't work.
For example, if you affirm "I am rich" - and the voice in your head says "no you're f**king not, you haven't got any money, you liar"... it ain't gonna work.
Even if you repeat the bloody thing a million times, you'll get no results. If you've tried affirmations before, you'll know what I mean.
This is a shame, because if you can get your conscious mind to SHUT UP, affirmations do work pretty well.
After all, this is how we learn anything at a subconscious level - REPETITION, coupled with EMOTION.
That's how you got your thoughts on how much money you can earn, how much happiness you enjoy, what you're capable of, how sexy your partner can be, and what you'll achieve... etc etc.
But... fear not... there IS a way to make affirmations work.
Combining Visualization and Affirmations
OK, here's a simple (but powerful!) solution: put visualization and affirmations together. It's really easy!
My strategy is to visualize as normal, so I'm really feeling the positive emotions. I'm in a great state of mind. I believe I'm capable of anything, because I've spent 20 minutes imagining my success in VIVID DETAIL. I feel positive, rich, powerful & driven!
Then, shortly before I stop visualizing, I combine visualization and affirmations. This is the PERFECT MOMENT for affirmations!
Here's how to do it:
1) Visualize as normal
2) Make sure you feel amazing - feel VERY strong emotions 3) Just before you finish, use affirmations like "My life is amazing" or "I'm attracting so much money to me", or "I'm so attractive to the opposite sex". MAKE SURE YOU FEEL THE EMOTIONS OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING!!
Er... that's it. I told you it's easy.
Basically, when you combine visualization and affirmations, it's much more likely that the affirmations will be accepted by your subconscious mind... because you are already in a HIGHER STATE of mind.
(It's easier to overrule your conscious mind if you've been imagining great success!)
So... try it out today. Combine visualization and affirmations and see what kind of results you get. Use a powerful brainwave tool like Brain Salonor Brain Evolution System if you want best results.
I'd never recommend you JUST use affirmations. They don't work. But when you use visualization AND affirmations, you might just get better results.
Worst case, it's not gonna hurt your chances. Best case, your subconscious mind starts to adopt some powerful, positive beliefs! Woohoo!
