How Positive Daily Affirmations Work
Everywhere you look today, you will find some mention of positive daily affirmations. Most people understand the basics of them. Affirmations are short, positive statements that you say to yourself on a daily basis. They are designed with a sort of formula in mind, so are easy to recognize. Many people even know that they work to give the user a more positive outlook on life. But not many people understand exactly how positive daily affirmations really work.
The first thing to realize is that positive daily affirmations are designed to sit in your subconscious mind. They aren’t things that you will want to dwell on during the day, you want them to sit tucked away where you won’t see them constantly, at least where you know about. They are designed to reside under the top layers of your brain, in order to reprogram the way that your mind views things. A few decades ago, television advertising gurus decided to work on subliminal messages. You would be happily watching a show on the television and a picture of a hamburger from a major chain would pop up on the screen and go away so fast that the mind wouldn’t even register that it happened. However, the subconscious mind did see it. Your subconscious could take that picture and dwell on it, causing your active mind to crave that hamburger. Actively, you never knew where you got the idea from in the first place, you just knew it was something you wanted and craved. Positive daily affirmations are the same way. They sit in your subconscious mind, where they slowly spread to the rest of your mind.
An important fact to note is that positive daily affirmations, in and of them selves, do not make you a lot of money, or make you physically look better by offering you plastic surgery. Instead, affirmations change the way you view the things around you in order to make you see that you are as your mind says you are. If you have less than $100 in your bank account, but are scraping by, paying your bills, and generally surviving, you can program your mind to see this as being wealthy. Obviously, by most people’s standards, you aren’t rich at all. Because you have been saying in your positive daily affirmations that you are rich and comfortable, your mind sees it that way though. You see that overall, you are happy with the situation you may be in. This is why some people who have less money will often seem more positive about their life than someone with a lot of money already.
A good set of
positive daily affirmations will also help bring joy and relaxation in your life without you even having to open a book or attend a seminar. You will have set up an arsenal that will fight off the less than good things that happen around you and put a more positive thing on it. This means that you only see what is good in life and the area around you, thus giving you more control over things that you thought were unregulated. As you subconsciously have a more positive attitude about things, you will begin to notice that things do actually begin to change. This is due to the fact that you are so happy and positive with your positive daily affirmations that your confidence level goes up, which in turn causes you to begin to see things more positively with your active eye. As your outlook becomes more positive, your interactions with the world around you will change, becoming more positive also. The more positive you are, the more life in general will work on making things better for you. This is called the “law of attraction”. Keep watching closely and you will see what the law of attraction is about, but that is for a different article.
As you can see, there is much more to positive daily affirmations than just reading a few “feel good” books. You must understand that all of the work takes place in your subconscious mind, and that they require no further overt help from you. When the affirmations seep into your mind, your mind will do the rest, causing you to see the results but not have to work so hard for them. That is how your positive daily affirmations will help you change the world, one mind at a time.
