I started to name this post, "Law of Attraction: 'We become what we think about all day long' - Emerson" But then I thought I'd get right to the nitty-gritty with the headline. Do you want a new car, more money, a happier life? Then read this post...
Our minds are the most powerful machines on earth. Learn how to control your mind and you will have the key to your life.
Your subconscious mind will achieve anything you believe to be true for you. The key is that we have the right beliefs. Dr. Emile Coue used autosuggestion in his clinic in France. He had his patients repeat this statement: “Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better.” It had amazing results because of the constant repetition.
Affirmations work on the theory of displacement. You can demonstrate this by taking a glass of water and adding food coloring. If you add red food coloring the water will be turned red. However, if you hold that full glass of water under the faucet and start running clear water into the glass, eventually the red water will be displaced with the clear water.
When you displace negative, unproductive, unworkable thoughts with positive, productive, powerful thoughts, the same thing happens. You don’t have to focus on getting rid of the limiting beliefs. You merely need to focus on thinking about the new positive beliefs that support getting what you want instead of what you don’t want.
Emerson said, “We become what we think about all day long.” The important thing is that we can control what we think about through positive self-talk or affirmations. Using affirmations is one of the easiest ways to change our lives. However, most people don’t know how to use affirmations correctly.
TWO KEYS TO USING AFFIRMATIONS CORRECTLY:
1. Combine your affirmation with imagery or visualization. Hold the thought in your mind until it creates a mental picture or image. Experience it in your mind. Affirmations are the thoughts you choose to think about. Imagery goes a step further and generates emotion and belief. Visualization creates beliefs and attitudes without the actual event having taken place.
2. Put as much emotion into your imagery as possible. Create excitement, desire, and enthusiasm. Run the picture over and over again in your mind and experience the feeling. New thoughts programmed with repetition, and imagery become dominant thoughts. Dominant thoughts become our reality.
The concepts I am writing about comes from Dr. Robert Anthony’s book, “Beyond Positive Thinking.” Here are some other points he makes:
1. “The key is to be able to picture or imagine the end results so vividly that it appears real.” Once the subconscious mind accepts an idea, it will work to bring it to pass. If we supply the end result that we want to achieve, our subconscious will supply the “how to.”
2. “The aim of affirmation and visualization is to evoke the feeling that the goal has already been achieved.” If you can create this feeling, you will attract the result you want.
3. “If you do not put yourself in the picture, you may not be in the end result.” Always put yourself in the picture. See yourself accomplishing the goal or behavior. If you can’t see yourself being, doing, or having it, you won’t.
For example, imagine you want a new Chrysler Crossfire convertible. Every day you visualize the car and faithfully put lots of emotion into your affirmation with imagery and repetition. Suddenly, a new Chrysler Crossfire comes into your life. You look through the window and there it sits ---in your neighbor’s driveway. You now have a new convertible in your life, but you are not in it. Make sure to put yourself in the picture.
On my Vision Board is a picture of me standing beside a silver Chrysler Crossfire convertible. I rented it while visiting Las Vegas and decided I would love to own one. So I added it to my board and affirmed, visualized, and thought about owning and driving the car I desired. A few months later I owned a black Chrysler Crossfire. I keep a picture of it on my Vision Board to remind me of the power of affirmations.
