Affirmations- A Way to Power your requests
Power Statements are statements made up of positive words that express a desired situation. Such statements are repeated many times either mentally or vocally to impress the subconscious mind and trigger it into positive action.
Sometimes Power statements are referred to as Affirmations and personally I like to refer to them as ‘AFFIRMOTIONS’.
The reason for this is that these power statements do not simply involve the use of words but for them to be more effective you need to engage your motion and emotion as.
Don’t forget that words possess power and when Power Statements are used together with visualization the effect is even more dramatic. The repeated Power Statements are gradually accepted by your mind as truth and affect your beliefs, behavior and actions. By using this process consciously and intently, you can affect your subconscious mind and thereby transform your habits, behavior, mental attitude and reactions.
Eventually this mind energy may also make you aware of, or even attract corresponding events and situations into your life. Such results may appear quickly but most often a span of time is required that necessitates consistent practice of visualization, action and the repetition of Power statements.
It is important to understand that repeating positive Power Statements for a few minutes, and then thinking negatively the rest of the day, neutralizes the effects of the positive words. You have to STOP thinking negative thoughts and focus only on abundance.
How to Practice Affirmotions
In order to ensure the effectiveness of the Power Statements, they have to be short statements that are repeated with focus and conviction.
It is not enough to just plaster yellow sticky notes all over your fridge and mirror where you brush your teeth in the morning. These help to remind you. However to be effective a Power Statement or ‘Affirmotion’ needs Six components:
- It should be personal
- It should be a statement of what you want not what you do not want.
- It should be in the present tense
- It should be emotionally charged. You must feel the passion coming out of your heart when you are saying it. It is like an emotional force is filtering through from your heart and going out to the Universe to express your desire.
- It should have powerful physical motion accompanying the emotion. Fist your hands in a sign of CERTAINTY while saying the ‘affirmotion’. Move your arms to really anchor your movement with the emotion.
- It should have a visual component, so visualize it in your mind’s eye while saying it.
Referring to a Power Statement as ‘Affirmotion’ can help you to remember all the components necessary to ensure an effective outcome.
Again it’s important to emphasize that when you choose your Affirmotion you should use only positive words, describing what you really want. If you desire to lose weight, do not tell yourself
“I am not fat” or “I am losing weight.”
These are negative statements, bringing into the mind mental images of what you do not want. Say instead,
“I am getting slim” or “I have reached my right weight”.
Such words evoke positive images in the mind.
Always 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, but not now. It is more effective to say, and also feel,
“I am rich and abundance is present in my life”, and the subconscious mind will work overtime to make this happen now, in the present.
You can repeat Affirmotions anytime your mind is not engaged in something in particular, such as while travelling in a bus or a train, relaxing, walking etc, but obviously do not affirm while driving or crossing a street!
Relax any physical, emotional or mental tension while affirming. 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. While stating the Affirmotions this sense of conviction should be total and natural. You should feel absolutely certain that what you are saying is a natural phenomenon that is already starting to happen. There should be no room for doubt. You are totally convinced in what you are saying and there is no alternative to your stated Affirmotion. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN, without fuss and in a very relaxed and confident way.
So get a pencil and paper and sit down for a few moments.
Jot down what you really want to achieve in life …. and then start affirmoting.
