Ways to Use Affirmations to Transform Your Life

Affirmations are a powerful tool you can use to help you transform your life.

When you use an affirmation you are consciously deciding what you want and then activating the energy to help it manifest.

What you are affirming is activated energetically to enable your affirmation to become true. That is how it works. That is why it works.

When you use an affirmation, you are also affirming the truth of your role as a co-creator in your life.

According to Wikipedia, affirmations in New Thought and New Age terminology refer primarily to the practice of positive thinking and self-empowerment—fostering a belief that “a positive mental attitude supported by affirmations will achieve success in anything.” More specifically, an affirmation is a carefully formatted statement that should be repeated to one’s self and written down frequently. For an affirmation to be effective, it needs to be present tense, positive, personal and specific.

Through affirmations, you engage a number of very important universal laws and principles. One of the most popular of the universal laws that affirmations utilize is the Law of Attraction. The other important factor when you use an affirmation is that energy follows thought. The very decision to invoke an affirmation in your desire to transform your life begins an energetic force of subtle energies to bring about what you are affirming into manifestation.

When you identify with something, especially when you make an evocative declaration, by an “I am” statement, you are guiding and directing things to what you desire. This becomes an important factor in your self-talk. You then begin to think in a way that is congruent with that affirmation and feel in a way that is congruent with what you are affirming.

Using positive affirmations can help you achieve a specific state of mind or state of consciousness.

To demonstrate this point let us try a very quick experiment.

Say to yourself in your mind:
I am at peace.

Then truly believing what you are saying,
repeat that phrase in your mind three more times.

I am at peace.
I am at peace.
I am at peace.

Do you feel more peaceful and calm? Almost everyone does. This is a very simple and easy technique you can use to calm your mind and your body by using an affirmation.

Affirmations can be extremely helpful in the art of transforming your life when you target them to strengthen an area where you realize you need to expand or enhance a specific quality in yourself.

When using an affirmation in this way you can magnify the effectiveness of the desired change by placing the affirmation on the mirror and then observe yourself saying the affirmation. This works on multiple levels.

You identify with your image in the mirror.
An affirmation is most effective when you resonate with it emotionally as well as with your mind.
Saying an affirmation before a mirror activates your will by focusing your creative power to help what you are affirming manifest.

Memes, especially those with a picture that evoke a strong and positive emotion that is congruent with the words of the affirmation are a good way to use affirmations.

Likewise, having positive affirmations played in the background while you are doing other things can do a great deal to empower you. Your subconscious is easiest to influence when your mind is busy with other tasks. The success of this method of using affirmations was a primary factor in my creation of my affirmations for abundance CDs, Soaring to Success and Awaken to Success. You are in complete control to pick which of the affirmations you like to listen to (there are no subliminal embedded audio in any of my products.) See the link at the end of this post.

These work especially well as a tool you can use while you travel to work or go on any errands.

There is both an art and a science to using affirmations. Using an affirmation is most effective when you create and say the affirmation with all levels and layers of your being.

An affirmation is a way of activating your co-creator role in your life in unity with the Divine, so you want what you are affirming to be aligned with your life purpose and Soul purpose and be realistically attainable.
An affirmation activates the dynamic energy of thought reflected in the wisdom: “As a man thinks, so he is.”
An affirmation emerges from your desire and therefore activates your will to do, in cooperation with your will to be.
To then behave in a way that is congruent with what you are affirming empowers you by “Acting as If” you have already achieved what you are affirming.
It is great to affirm what you need and desire however, you still need to take action on those thoughts to attain your ultimate outcome.

This incorporation of your mind, emotions and then action, aligned with your Higher Self and your life purpose is an integrated way to empower your life and bring about the transformations and change that you have chosen.

Using affirmations is a powerful way for you to gain mastery over your life. When you resolve to make your life better, affirmations are an instrument you can use to increase your effectiveness to live the life of your dreams.

As a gift to you and to support you in this quest, I want you to have instant access to a downloadable meme that I created for you that you can post on your mirror, place in your car or on your desk, or anywhere that it can serve as a reminder to you of what you are transforming and affirming in your life.

I invite you to remember as you affirm that:

You are the most important person you will talk with today.”
– Zig Ziegler

What you think especially about yourself is important. Using affirmations to help you be the person you want to be and want to become is a reminder that you are the director and creative force in your life.

Affirmations are a tool to help focus and direct your attention into specific areas where you have determined you could use a little help and support in your process of growing and becoming. They are simple to use and easy to do and they put immense power at your disposal to be all that you are meant to be and all that you want to be.

You might find it helpful to keep the affirmations you have chosen to focus upon in a journal. This way you can find a quick reference to the affirmations you are currently working on, and have a way that you can look back upon the ways you have been successful in transforming your life.

Namaste,
