All the persons of this world live their life according to their self-image and the self-image of a person is always molded and strengthened with the help of affirmations they use since their childhood. According to great scientist Newton (his third law of physics) every action in this universe brings an equal and opposite reaction. If you feed negative thoughts in your mind you will get negative result in equal intensity, and if you feed positive thoughts you will get positive result in equal intensity.
Plant the Seeds Carefully
Affirmations are repetitive feeding of positive thoughts in your mind. Strong positive thoughts in your mind bring equal positive strength in your life. Therefore parents must be careful and sow the seeds of positive thoughts in the mind of their children since the first day of their life. Negative thoughts create a lot of problems in their adult life.
Positive thoughts cultivate habit of saying good affirmations in the children. In face of trouble they always say to them - I shall overcome this problem, I shall win, I shall find a way out, Problems are natural, and there are opportunities in them. And such types of children always solve the problems and find new ways to progress in life. And the children fed with negative thoughts become a defeatist. Seeds of affirmations always grow into big trees.
Testing the Effect
To see the direct of result of your thoughts on your body or action you can have an experiment. Go to a ground with a ball and hockey stick. Say these words loudly and five times: I am a loser. Then hit the ball. Now repeat these world five times: I am a winner. Say the words loudly. Now hit the ball again. The result will astonish you. Do one more similar experiment. Sit with your friend holding opposite hands ready to play push power game. Push each others hands in opposite direction two times. First saying the negative worlds to you five times and the second time saying the positive words five times. While saying the negative words you will feel losing your power, and while saying positive words you will feel a surge of new power in you.
Being Used Widely
An affirmation may be mental, verbal or written. To give a stronger positive attitude to a mind affirmations are fed into the mind intentionally. In modern world most of the successful players or teams have psychological consultants with them who constantly frame affirmations to boost their confidence. They also advise the coach of a player or team on the method of dealing the player/s.
The Art of Framing an Affirmation
Many persons use affirmations regularly and for years but they are unsatisfied with the results. The reason may be monotonous repetition of the sentence which are actually not in harmony with their psychology. Passionless affirmations are not that effective. To get the maximum use of an affirmation we need to follow certain rules to frame them:
a. It should be in Present Tense
Always frame an affirmation in present tense. Suppose you want to get a good and muscular body. Don't frame your affirmation like it: 'I shall get a muscular body.' It will slow down your body building progress. Your subconscious will continue delaying the process. Instead frame like it:' I am fit and muscular.' If you want to get a good job don't use such affirmations: 'I shall get a good job.' The right affirmation is: 'I have got a great job.' By repeating this simple affirmation you will get a job soon.
b. It should be Brief and Specific
Long and complicated affirmations confuse the mind. Keep an affirmation brief and specific.
c. It should be in Harmony with our Goals
Your vision about your goals must be clear. If your affirmations contradict your goals, already implanted in your mind, driving power of your mind will become weak. Success will continue eluding you.
d. It should be Realist
Base your affirmations on realistic goals. If a goal is very unrealistic your affirmation may not bear fruits.
e. It should in Affirmative Sentence
Don't frame an affirmation in negative or interrogative sentences: 'Why can't I get a good job when I am capable?', 'Now I am not jobless.' Affirmation made in affirmative sentences always much more effective.
How to Repeat Affirmations
An affirmation is rendered useless by your mind in case it is repeated monotonously and passionlessly. Say an Affirmation five times in the morning and five times at night. It is useless to repeat an affirmation hundred times a day. Actually repeating an affirmation so often may even be counter-productive. It promotes mechanization of your mind reduces creative power that so essential to think ideas and make progress.
