Have you used affirmations before? Some say affirmations just don't work for them. Some people will also tell you that you cannot make money on the stock market. The fact is that many many people make it huge with the stock market.

Where am I going with this?

Nay sayers just do not know how to make affirmations work for them. Pick any subject and you can surely create and affirmation on it. But the magic to getting them work is how they can change the way you feel. After I am done with an affirmation I am buzzing. I think most people have some inner self talk that just cancels out the good. You probably know what I am talking about. You say a nice affirmation and your inner talk says "that is just not true".

Your self talk probably gets into a little argument with you: "wealthy - ya right", "you don't look like you are at your ideal weight", "attractive? then why are you alone". When this happens it is time to show who is the boss. You either control your mind or your mind controls you. Get into the feeling place of your affirmations. When you affirm you are lean, feel the feelings of being lean. Affirmations used this way will reprogram your subconscious to get what you want.

Words by themselves do nothing. You need to feel the power of your words - as in the words in your affirmations need to inspire, uplift, change your state of being so you do feel better. So pick words that bring you mental pictures that uplift you and feel good.

Affirmations could be just one word. Like "wealth" or "health" or "love". The key is ... does the word change your feelings in a positive way? If yes, then affirm it. I have many affirmations, one of them I use is "love" or "be love". To me, this reminds to be more loving and caring. I will repeat the affirmation until I get the desired feeling change.

Affirmations are one of the best under utilized tools I use. Spend time daily doing them. You could even spend a few minutes. It doesn't take too much time. Just remember you need a feeling change in the positive. As with anything, you need to do this with repetition to make it work for you. So set aside some time and do it daily.
