Positive Affirmations and the Primary Keys to Their Success

Oh god. Another day, another dollar. Well, I owe, I owe, so it's off to work I go.

STOP!

You've just set the tone for a bad day, of draining work, for little pay, and after all said and done, you'll end up with nothing, because you need to cover your debt.

First and foremost... Don't do this!

So then, your 1st primary key to using daily positive affirmations is this: Know what you want!

If you don't know what you want, your brain will make something for you... and it will make things interesting in maybe no so good ways.

When you begin your day... begin it with a positive note. No matter what! Let's say you wake up and feel a little achy, tight bodied, or stiff. Doesn't matter. Stop, say to yourself. "I feel good". If possible, say it out loud. This key tends to be pretty clear to most people, yet taken lightly, and as a result, given less importance. This is very bad. We must whenever possible, start on a positive note, and out loud... preferably in the mirror, staring at our own face.

There is one thing we must know about ourselves before going on. We have conversations in our head ALL THE TIME! These conversation between our inner brain and consciousness are happening even as you read this article. Let me give you an example. You are on the sofa watching t.v., and you say to yourself, "I really should clean that closet". This is the beginning of an inner-brain conversation.

Okay, now you know that we all have conversations in our head, all the time, we can dive into the other keys.

What are we really saying? Hmm. Using the example of being on the sofa, what is it we said to our brain? Well, Patrick, we said we really should clean the closet. Wrong! What we said was, "we are not cleaning the closet right now". Your brain only knows present tense. So in fact, we are saying we are not doing the thing that crossed our minds... in this case, cleaning the closet.

Key #2... Present tense only! Okay then. If we wanted to ensure our body responded to the action statement: "I really should clean that closet", we need to change how we say this. What we need to say is this: "I am cleaning the closet", and push our body up from the sofa. This statement alone will trigger the nerve system, and the signals required to get you moving. You will produce adrenaline, if needed, and the body functions needed to complete the task will take affect. You must also know that our bodies respond only to brain commands. This is why we must use present tense to get our body to move in any direction.

Now, we understand the first 2 keys of successful affirmations, we must also cover the third, and most important key, to creating the affirmations for our intended results. Let us say you want to avoid something from happening in your life. Say maybe, you don't want to go out into the cold, snowy weather. Say to your brain, in the same inner-brian conversation you used before, exactly what you want. Go ahead, write it out, how would you say this to your brain?

Hmm. How many of you wrote something like this: "I am not going out into the cold snowy weather"... or close to it anyways?

You see, now if you use this command/statement, you will find yourself going out into the cold weather... unhappy about your results, and with a lost faith in this affirmation system. But, you got exactly what you said.

Key #3, be positive.

But Patrick, I was positive! I know you might think so,m but you missed one important thing... and most of us do... you need to ask for what you want. NOT, what you don't want. Whatever you focus on, you get more of. Therefore, we should have said this: "I am staying inside for today". you see, same idea as stating, "I am not going outside today", but in positive format. This is the most important key, because, if we don't do this, we will destroy all our efforts put into the first 2 keys of positive affirmations.

So, now we can use positive affirmations to benefit our lives in many ways...
We can begin our day in a positive way, we can ensure the whole day goes in the direction we desire, we can acquire the things we want most in our life and we can do it all right now. LOL, well, maybe we will need to practice a little, and there are definitely some other keys to ensure absolute success from our affirmations and meditations, but for those you will have to visit my website.

For now, I wish you well, and success in all that you do, and look forward to connecting with you soon. So we might begin to plan a method of success for you.
