How to level up your affirmations
Yes, affirmations can be a great tool. However, you have to know how to use them correctly. Mindless repeating leads nowhere. There are some things you must do to activate your affirmations. Remember that your affirmations have to enter the subconscious mind.
Always state your affirmations in the present tense. Don’t use I’m going to or I will, use words that refer to the present moment. Also, avoid I want. Instead, use statements such as I have, or even better I am.
Activate positive emotions. Emotion is energy in emotion. Emotion is what creates your reality, so every affirmation must be connected with an appropriate feeling. If you say I love and am loved, but you don’t feel like you’re surrounded by love, this affirmation is not going to have much impact on your life.
Record your affirmations and listen to them on repeat. Hearing your own voice repeating the affirmations will help to convince your subconscious mind that it is the truth, that it is the current reality. Also, listen to your affirmations while drifting off to sleep. This is the time of the theta brainwaves, and during this state, the subconscious mind is like a sponge and absorbs everything easier.
Say your affirmations in front of the mirror. Sounds weird, I know, but there is a direct connection between you and your subconscious mind whenever you do this. Make sure to look directly into your eyes and be confident.
Write them out in a journal. Make a habit of rewriting your affirmations every morning. This will help your subconscious to remember them automatically. The subconscious mind is like a computer, so you just have to create a new program.
Repeat them in your head. When you’re driving, running, cooking, etc. use this time to your advantage. We often harm ourselves with negative self-talk during our everyday activities, so being conscious of your affirmations is going to help you control your thinking patterns.
And that’s it, just remember that it is going to be a gradual process. It usually takes about 21- 60 days to reprogram your mind and create new beliefs. But trust me, it’s worth it!
