Affirmations, What you need to know to achieve the best results.

What did you do the last time you thought you had a bad habit? Nothing much, right?

Perhaps just told yourself that you can’t continue like this. But telling yourself once can’t really fetch desired results. In fact that bad habit is probably still with you right?

Repetitively uttering resolutions with emotion tied into them does the trick.

So how do you go about it?

Write down your resolution somewhere and go over it as many times as possible every day. Keep focusing on it.

Repeating affirmations day in day out ultimately makes you believe in them. Many times we have told ourself something so repeatedly that we begin to believe it is the truth. Nowadays, because affirmations are so popular, you can even buy them in the form of CD’s and cassettes. It’s great if you want ready made affirmations for yourself.

But it’s more effective to create your own affirmations (since no one else understands your emotional needs better).

So what exactly should you remember while making your own affirmations work for you? Go through the checklist below and find out.

1. The first thing to remember is the final purpose of your affirmation. Any affirmation, no matter what purpose it is taken for, should make a person behave positively somehow. For the same reason, the tone of your affirmation should not be negative. Avoid using ‘do not’ in your affirmation even if it sounds perfectly correct.

Instead, give your affirmation a personal and positive tone. Consider this example – you have a habit of smoking and you create an affirmation that reads – ‘I don’t smoke cigarettes.’ Though the affirmation sounds grammatically right, your mind may take it otherwise.

For some odd reason your mind might get stuck to the words ‘smoke cigarettes’ in isolation and you’ll fail to achieve positive results. So your affirmation should read something like this – ‘I take care of my heart and lungs by remaining a non smoker’.

2. Next is how you make your mind take to the affirmation you have created. Perhaps your affirmation is ‘I am happy, healthy and loving every minute’. If you actually want to believe in this you have to read it innumerable times. Remember, the biggest secret of making your affirmation work is repetition and strong emotion. Repeating your affirmation singularly will not be as beneficial as when you combine that with inflection and emotion.

3. Last, don’t pressure yourself with too much change all at once. Going through an affirmation might seem to be the easiest thing but incorporating it into your life can be really difficult. This is precisely why you should not aim to improve a number of habits at a single instance – lose weight, improve punctuality, work harder etc.

Remember the old saying ‘Baby steps, take one step at a time’, and move ahead choosing a single affirmation to internalize at a time. Once you have mastered that change, pick the next most important one to work on.
