The influence of our Subconscious in our life is immense.
Together with our Conscious Mind, our mental process and behavior are a product of them.
Words that we utter do have a substantial effect in our lives and many people are not aware of this fact.
Hence it is not advisable to spout irresponsible comments everywhere you go - most of the time highly detrimental and negative.
To counter this conscious effect, we can make use of the positive affirmations to "convert" the negatives thoughts into something more positive.
Through this, it can improve your life and make it better.
Positive affirmations can transform your prospective in looking at things in life, hence it is something that is highly beneficial to you spiritually, and even to the people around you.
We affirm our positive beliefs by telling and reminding ourselves about the different positive statements that we wish to become until that this new belief gets "programmed" into your subconscious and becoming your second nature.
Just to take one example.
If you have been reminded by your parents that you are not bright nor intelligent, the effect would be so pronounced that you would believe you yourself are not bright.
Your behavior and action will manifest along that line.
You may have low self esteem and confidence as a result.
Subconsciously, you will remind yourself that you are not bright that is why you cannot do any tasks given to your properly.
And if you are always been criticized with negative comments, you will also think that you are what people are commenting about you.
You end up being dull and unsure of yourself.
Doubts will soon creep it and if in serious cases, depression may set in.
Frankly, the best way to a better society and person is to change the thought pattern we all have as we all will be happier and more harmonious with life and people around.
So, how do we go about making positive affirmations? First, you need to craft a few highly positive statements about yourself.
Make it as specific to your situation as you can.
Next, say it out loud.
If situation does not allow you to say out loud, rehash them a few times mentally, several times a day.
Best of all, if you are able to compose a short tune, you can sing out your affirmations.
Singing is highly expressive of our soul.
Remember that repetition is the key; the more you repeat your affirmations, the more power they will be on you spiritually.
One thing to note is that you must forbid to use of negative noun, like "I do not want to be sad forever", instead use "I want to be happy forever".
Both mean the same meaning, but the idea you get from these two sentences are radically dissimilar.
Similarly, if you want to lose weight and you want to retrain your mind to getting into shape, you remind yourself "I want to be slim, attractive and healthy" and not "I am not fat.
" The mention of "fat" may bring in negative thoughts into your mind, and of course, you might not even want to hear the word.
Also make statements as if they are already happening and true.
Instead of telling yourself, "I want lots of money," go tell yourself, "I can see more money coming to me".
In conclusion, bear in mind that the theory of positive affirmations for self improvement is not a new fad or recent trend.
This is a class of spiritual beliefs which many cultures around the world have understood since the early days of human civilization.
It can change yourself and it works!
