What are Affirmations And How Can They Help Us?
Part 2
by Garry Zancanaro

Page: 1 2

Napoleon Hill often used the term 'Infinite Intelligence' to describe these same inexplicable forces. In fact, the central principal of 'Think and Grow Rich', one of the most influential books ever written, is that we become what we think about most. Hill's extensive interviews with the most successful people of his day, led him to believe that our firmly held thoughts and beliefs connect us to greater forces that help us to create our future.

These connections are not made at a conscious level, but through our infinitely more powerful subconscious mind.

By actively using affirmations we feed our minds with positive thoughts that can replace negative and destructive thoughts and feelings. Our subconscious mind accepts what we tell it as fact, then works for us to create the reality we feed it.

There are some essential rules for affirmations.

They must be in the present tense, as if you already have achieved or become whatever it is you want to have or become. Don't use future tense, because you want your subconscious mind to believe what you want is reality, to allow it to set about making it happen. If, for example, you are lacking motivation, or want to overcome procrastination, try saying 'I am action orientated and enjoy making things happen and getting results', or similar, as if it is a definite fact.

Affirmations must be worded positively, you should never use negatives. They must always be about what you want, not what you don't want. For example, if you want to overcome shyness, don't say 'I am not shy with people'. Instead, say something like 'I feel confident and relaxed in any situation'.

They should also be short and specific, and written down, at least until you remember them verbatim.

You must then take the time to repeat your affirmations, ideally at a time of day when you can clear you mind and concentrate on them without distraction. They will be particularly effective if combined with visualization and/or meditation techniques.

Do affirmations really work? I doubt if there is anyone involved in personal development in any way that would dispute, that we attract, gravitate towards, and become what we spend most time thinking about.

Affirmation certainly won't work without belief. If you feel uncomfortable with the idea of deliberately talking to yourself, even if it's not out loud, it's unlikely they will have much impact. But don't forget that we all have plenty of internal dialogue going on anyway, a lot of which could well be negative and destructive. With practice and persistence, affirmations can help to ensure that more of our internal dialogue is positive.

If we change what we think and say to ourselves, we can change what we believe. We're almost certain to change our actions, which in turn will help us change our results, our reality and our lives.

"It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen." - Muhammad Ali

Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence, seeing how you react. If you're in control, they're in control.
