Practicing affirmations is a very useful method to manifesting your desires and achieving success. Just like many other things, there are good practices and not so good practices to follow when doing affirmations. Here are some guidelines for doing affirmations effectively.
PRESENT TENSE Affirmations should be stated in the present tense. This adds to the effectiveness and impact of the affirmation. For example 'Everyday in everyway I am getting healthier'. This affirmation states that this is happening in the present.
SHORT AND TO THE POINT Do not use long sentences in your affirmations. Keep it short and to the point. This makes the affirmation easy to say out, it concentrates the focus of the sub-conscious mind and avoids distractions from happening due to having long sentences and many words.
REPETITION Make sure that you do sufficient repetitions of the affirmation. The more you repeat an affirmation, the stronger the impact on the subconscious mind and the stronger the neurological imprint on the brain.
EMOTIONS It is very important to do affirmations with emotions. When you show emotions it means that you really want it, that you care and most importantly that you believe in affirmation. Don't do affirmations in a weak and inspired manner. Your subconscious mind will notice pick that up. It will know that you're not serious about affirmations and that since you don't believe it, your subconscious won't make it happen.
POSITIVE Affirmations should be stated in the positive. That means do affirmations for what you want and not what you do not want. Instead of affirming 'My business will not fail' , use a positive statement such as 'My business is succeeding'. Avoid negative statement as much as you can.
PERSISTENCE Persistence is a very important quality to have when doing affirmations. Things cannot happen overnight. Affirmations need some time before it shows effect and materialize. That is why it is so important to be persistent and consistent even though we do not see any effect from the affirmation. The only way we can reap the rewards of practicing affirmations is by being diligent and keeping the belief.
VISUALIZING As you are doing the affirmation, visualize it as well. See it happening in your mind. This adds the visual element to your affirmations practice. Typical affirmations practice only involve the auditory (sound) and kinesthetic (feelings) elements. Doing visualization will result in a more complete effect of the affirmation.
