Most people try an affirmation and nothing ends up happening, or they end up creating the opposite of what they intended to. Hereโs how to not end up like that ๐ Keep these three fundamental guidelines in mind, and you will create a life of joy and health. 1) Keep affirmations in the present tense: There is no past and no future. There is only the eternal present moment now. Whatever you declare (affirm) yourself to be now is what you are. Trying to become something doesnโt work because it signals your deeper mind that at some imaginary point in the future you may become what youโre affirming to be. 2) Youโve got to feel it! Emotions is the magical bridge that connects soul and spirit, activates the law of attraction, and signals to your infinite subconscious mind that the thing youโre affirming is what you want to experience. Feeling is the secret. The deeper the degree of emotional intensity, the more powerful the frequency of creation vibration will be. Many people dryly repeat some statement without actually feeling the joy of accomplishment. Only affirm that which is lovely, true, and would bring more joy and goodness into your life. 3) Keep it short and sweet. Try to keep your affirmative statements relatively short. Focus on aligned outcomes. Use powerful adjectives and descriptive words that really strike up the flames of emotion inside you. YEAH! Donโt be afraid to throw in a Hallelujah or other potent words. If you can keep affirmations to 2 - 3 sentences that seems to work well. If they rhyme, it can make them especially potent. What affirmations have you been working on lately?
