Daily Affirmations - How To Use Them To Change Your Life

By Cecelia C. Bridgeman


In our normal every day lives we often use sounds for daily affirmations without even realizing that this is what we're doing! In the car you may have your favourite track playing on the stereo. Even though it's music, it's still sound even though it's been formed into a structure that we identify as music.The essential thing is that we are using the sounds to help us feel good. It's a trigger to give us that boost of euphoria we need in order to face the day. It can lift us from the lowest mood to the highest peak of exhilaration, depending on exactly what fires our own emotions. Hence some people get a great thrill jumping about and listening to heavy metal - while the neighbour next door could be burying into the pillow at the constant thump, thump, thump of the drums. My father used to cry tears of joy listening to Messiaen's organ music while I used to cry tears of pain.

How does this work? Can we really re-program ourselves? The brain believes whatever we tell it. The subconscious mind works like a control centre. Whatever data we feed it, the mind believes to be true. Then it goes to work to show us proof that the thoughts we think, are in fact true. The great thing about this process is that we can consciously program whatever we want our mind to believe. This is why affirmations are so powerful and effective.

To reinforce positive words, we use as affirmations we can use them against a backdrop of music or sounds that have a positive effect on us. For some it will be Beethoven's powerful music. Others will prefer the dulcet tones of Enya. Still more will want to relax to the sound of waves lapping on the shore.

One of the most powerful experiences in my life has been to work with Tibetan singing bowls. I have seen these in action in Nepal and been deeply moved by the response to them and the experience of coming into contact with their deep vibrations and tones. For me, this is one of the most magical sounds there can be, reaching out from across the millennia with healing energy - essentially because of their beautiful sounds.

Everywhere you look today, you will find some mention of positive daily affirmations. Most people understand the basics of them. Affirmations are short, positive statements that you say to yourself on a daily basis. They are designed with a sort of formula in mind, so are easy to recognize. Many people even know that they work to give the user a more positive outlook on life. But not many people understand exactly how positive daily affirmations really work.

The first thing to realize is that positive daily affirmations are designed to sit in your subconscious mind. They aren't things that you will want to dwell on during the day, you want them to sit tucked away where you won't see them constantly, at least where you know about. They are designed to reside under the top layers of your brain, in order to reprogram the way that your mind views things.

The man who uses positive daily affirmations is also a very confident man. This is easily accomplished by affirming the positive around you. Ensure that you tell yourself that you are a success, that people like you, and that you are a good person exactly the way you are. The important part of this is to show your subconscious mind that you don't have to change for anyone, and that you are fine the way you are. Your own self-confidence will show to those around you, making you seem even more in control. Positive daily affirmations that affirm your own self-worth show those around you how comfortable you are in your own skin.

Positive affirmations work by the power of thought, and the power of thought plays a large influence on our lives. Many of the extremely successful people today operate with daily affirmations, and you can too. You are the only limit to your dreams; only you can create the reality you want.

Daily affirmations are available in many places (online, in books), but the more personal they are, the more effective they will be. This is why we encourage you to write your own. It's easier than you might think. First, grab a paper and a pen. Write down what you are unhappy with, or what you would like to change in your life. Then, write in present tense what would make you happy. This might look something like, "I hate being broke," and then, "I am financially secure and happy." If you have trouble with this, start simple and short. You can always edit your statement later on to be more specific. "I am happy," is a fine beginning.

Don't drag yourself down by focusing on those negative thoughts! Instead, you need to have a list of daily affirmations that are written to help increase prosperity and abundance. Write a list, and keep it with you at all times. And whenever those negative thoughts begin to creep into your mind, immediately recognize the negative thought, and then replace it with a positive affirmation.Positive affirmations that are applied on a daily basis will help you change your reality and you will begin to attract positive people and positive experiences. Many people discount the effects of positive affirmations because they think that they don't work... but if you give it a little bit of time and a lot of focus you really can attract any amount of prosperity and wealth that you desire.Take a few minutes each morning and evening to focus on your positive daily affirmations, and you will begin to see the changes occurring in your life!
