5 Proven Ways to Use Powerful Affirmations

I recently published 101 Powerful Affirmations received in my inbox.

Today, the author of the affirmations shared 5 Proven Ways to use them to bring about amazing, positive changes in your life.

Putting what you've learned into practice will dramatically speed up the process of attracting all the wonderful things you've desired into your life.

********************
1) Say Them Out Loud
********************
Affirmations work best when spoken with power and conviction.

It's normal if you feel uncomfortable saying certain affirmations in the beginning... because you may not fully believe them yet.

Saying them out loud over and over again helps to re-program your sub-conscious mind to accept these new beliefs gradually.

You'll realize that it gets easier and easier the more you do it and over time and you'll start to say the affirmations with more and more conviction.

**********************************
2) Say Them In Front Of The Mirror
**********************************
In fact, I recommend that you print out and paste the affirmations near your mirror so you can look at your reflection when you're saying them.

This is an extremely powerful way to anchor the new empowering beliefs to yourself.

I personally recite my affirmations every morning in front of the mirror in my room. I usually keep my room door closed to ensure privacy. You can also choose to do it using the bathroom mirror or wherever you feel most comfortable.

************************
3) Say Them In Your Head
************************
An alternative to saying the affirmations out loud is to say them in your head.

Perhaps, you live in a big family or in a place where it may not be convenient to practice reciting the affirmations out loud to yourself. If so, this is one good way to use your affirmations.

*********************************************************
4) Record Them And Listen To The Recording When Necessary
*********************************************************
Another way to do it is to record yourself saying the affirmations and play back the recording when you feel it's necessary to do so...for example, when you find yourself having negative thoughts.

I listen to my affirmations whenever I'm travelling from one place to another and just before I fall asleep. Research have shown that the sub-conscious mind is most open to suggestions just after you wake up and just before you fall asleep.

******************
5) Write Them Down
******************
You may also want to copy the affirmations down in your own handwriting. I don't know why it works but it does! A lot of people swear by it.

It's the same as writing sales copy... Top copywriters know that if you practice copying high response advertisements in your own handwriting, it actually improves your ability to write great copy.

Instead of questioning why it works, why not just give it a shot?

**************************************
The Secret to Making Affirmations work
**************************************
Now, you know the 5 proven ways to use your 101 powerful affirmations... but do you know the secret to making them work?

Ok... come a little closer...

*whispers*

The key to unlocking the potential of your affirmations is...

Consistency!

Don't expect to do it once and expect miracles... it just doesn't work that way.

If you want to effect positive changes in your life, you need to use your affirmations everyday or as often as you can.

Does it take a little work?

Yes... to develop the good habit of positive self-talk... but trust me, the results are definitely worth it!
