Many self help and personal development movements have latched onto a technique known as positive self affirmations. The idea is to repeat to yourself phrases that promote self worth.
For example if you lack confidence at your workplace you might choose to repeat “I am a skilled and valuable worker”. The more you repeat this to yourself the more confident you become at work.
Just like NLP and creative visualization, positive self affirmations were originally used as a technique within hypnosis – and they are all still used by hypnotherapists today. If you buy a HypnoBusters hypnosis session, or have visited a hypnotherapist, then there’s a good chance you already have experience with positive self affirmations, even if you didn’t realise it.
Positive self affirmations are great to use in any self-improvement effort for a number of reasons. You can easily come up with your own affirmations without spending money on books or audio. And because you are regularly repeating them to yourself, they sink into your subconscious mind and become self fulfilling prophecies.
But more than anything, positive self affirmations work. They help people get out of mental ruts and feel much better about themselves. Positive affirmations can also help improve your chances of success.
If you are unsure how to create good positive self affirmations then follow the three straightforward tips below…
- Positive – Use encouraging language. “I succeed…” rather than “I don’t fail…”. An example might be “I am confident around people”, rather than “I won’t be shy around people”. This is saying what you are (confident), rather than what you aren’t (shy), plus it uses a much more positive word “confident”, rather than “shy”. “I won’t gamble” would be better phrased “I am responsible with my money”.
- Self – Focus on yourself rather than others and use the present tense. “My skills make me a valuable asset.” Using the present tense is important. “I will be more confident in the future” is not nearly as powerful as “I am supremely confident right now”.
- Affirmations – Repeat your affirmations to yourself over and over. Some people say them out loud, some repeat them in their head, and others write them down. Do whatever feels right for you.
EDIT I have recently created a series of subliminal sessions. They all contain several positive affirmations repeated many times each. They are recorded quietly so that your conscious mind cannot hear them, but loud enough for your subconscious mind to hear.
This allows the affirmations to go straight to work in your subconscious mind where your automatic fears and thoughts are controlled. If you would like to learn more, please click on the following link…
