The Power of Affirmations

The Power of Affirmations

In every moment we are affirming something.
The question is, are my affirmations conscious or unconscious? Am I keenly aware of what I am affirming to be true? Is my mental process a conscious one or do my thoughts run mostly on default?
What do you think comes back to us when we affirm repeatedly that life is a wondrous and bountiful adventure?
What comes back when we affirm that life is a struggle?
Our thoughts form the reality we experience. Our outer world reflects the totality of our beliefs, which are simply our habits of thought.
Becoming intimate with your own habit of thought is critical to consciously creating your life experience in alignment with your Highest Self.
Your full potential is accessible through the power of focused intent.
When creating affirmations it's important to keep in mind the following:
* Using the phrase I AM (God's name) is a powerful affirmation on its own and is a potent precursor to any affirmation that resonates for you simply because it affirms that something is already so.
* Avoid phrases like "I will" or "I want" which affirm a current state of lack.
* Focus on what you truly desire not what you "think" should be.
* Focus on yourself and your state of being, not on anything outside of you.
* Put yourself fully in the experience of the affirmation and create a virtual reality with all your physical senses. You want to feel, touch, taste, smell and hear the full experience.
* Have FUN!
