By
definition, an affirmation is a statement repeated time and again
either verbally or mentally -- or written down. The words of the
affirmation statement - in themselves -when spoken, thought of, or
written *without* a pictorial (visualized) or emotional connection --
make a very weak affirmation.

Affirmations,
when worded correctly -- and when emotionally charged - are able to tap
into the unlimited creative power of your subconscious mind, and
manifest your desires.

Affirmations
are not all created equal. Some are, of course, better than others.
There are *power affirmations* that have been proven again and again to
work - and I'll reveal some of them in a moment.

When
you examine the structure of these power affirmations, you, too, can
learn how to create your own powerful affirmations for your specific
purposes.

Consider the following:

"I am what I choose to be."
"All my needs are met instantaneously."
"I love and accept myself exactly as I am."
"_____________ comes to me easily and effortlessly."
(Fill in the blank with what you desire.)
"I am now perfectly healthy in body, mind and spirit."
"I now create my wonderful, ideal life."

What do the above power affirmations have in common?

1) They're stated in the present tense.

An
affirmation is more effective when stated in the present tense. For
example; "I now have a wonderful job." Avoid affirming something in the
future tense, e.g. "I am going to have a wonderful job" or the results
will always be waiting to happen.

2) They express a positive statement.

Affirmations
need to be stated in the most positive terms possible. Avoid negative
statements. Affirm what you do want, rather than what you don't want.
For example: "I am no longer sick." This is a negative statement.
Instead, affirm: "I am now perfectly healthy in body, mind and
spirit." This statement is much more powerful as it is positive and
reinforces your desired goal and doesn't confuse your subconscious mind
with the mention of the undesirable condition.

3) They're short and specific.

Short
affirmations are easy to say, and have a far greater impact at the
subconscious level than those which are long and wordy. Keeping them
specific and to the point adds power as the idea is uncluttered by
extraneous elements.

The mechanics that make affirmations powerful are:

* Repetition
The importance of repetition cannot be overemphasized. It imprints the affirmation into your subconscious mind.

* Emotions
Get
involved, be passionate, and use your emotions. Think carefully about
the meaning of the words as you repeat them rather than just writing,
typing or saying them.

* Persistence
Practicing
affirmations with persistence achieves results much sooner than
practicing them periodically. Successive sessions will have a
compounding effect.

* Belief
You
don't necessarily have to believe your affirmation initially, in order
for it to work. Belief will grow with your forthcoming successes. What
you do need is the ability to *feel* what it would be like when the
desire you're affirming is fulfilled, or your need met. Every time that
you have a need -- and that need is met -- a certain "feeling" is
produced in you. You need to evoke that same feeling when you state
your affirmation. In other words, you need to feel with every fiber of
your being that what you desire has already happened. Without this
feeling, your affirmation is powerless.

* Impress Yourself
Personalize
your affirmations. They must *resonate* with you -- feel right for you.
The stronger your connection with the affirmation, the deeper the
impression it makes on your mind, and the sooner you will experience
positive results.

So
there you have it - the simple formula for creating affirmations that
work. Based on the above, you can easily create your own affirmations
to manifest any desire or need you have in life.

TIP:
Although the practice of affirmations is easy, some people find it
challenging to repeat the affirmations continuously while maintaining
the highly charged emotional state necessary in making affirmations
work. DID YOU KNOW... that you can use your computer to make the
affirmation process effortless - and that you can automate those
challenging aspects (such as maintaining highly charged emotions), and
thereby, manifest your desires more quickly?
