Using Affirmations For Success - The Powerful Missing Secret to Writing Positive Affirmations

Have you used affirmations before with little or no success? Do you get frustrated because you seem to be doing everything right, yet your results seem lukewarm? Did you know that many people have been taught to simply write out a list of powerful affirmations, repeat them morning noon and night and hope transformation occurs?

Whilst this approach may work work for some, many give up simply because they kind of feel silly, especially if they don't believe what they are telling themselves.

In this article we're going to share with you the reason why your affirmations are not working and what you can do about it. Let's start with a simple truth; you have a conflict of interests.

What this means is that one part of you wants something positive, whilst the other believes something else - and it's usually not good! It's like saying to yourself you're going to lose weight, but deep inside there's a part of you which isn't sure you can make it, and as result you don't. Put simply, you don't believe what you're telling yourself.

If you've made this kind of promise to yourself before and not kept it, you have 'evidence' to suggest you are not going to keep your word and even before you repeat the affirmation, you have sealed your own fate so to speak.

So how do we start believing ourselves so our affirmations can have a positive and powerful impact?

Repeating affirmations out loud has nowhere near the same impact on your feelings and behaviours as hearing the same things positively inside your mind. If you're telling yourself wonderful things on the outside whilst your internal voice is telling you it's all lies, the suggestions from your internal voice will win every time.

The secret is to use the power of your internal voice to your advantage and increase your levels of confidence.

Try this exercise:

Imagine your internal voice is really confident. Imagine what it sounds like. Does it sound louder or softer? Is your posture improved and more upright? Really imagine this.

Next, imagine using this new confident internal voice with your positive affirmations. Think of some of your habitual negative suggestions you have given yourself in the past:

- I could never build a successful home-based business
- I will never find my true partner
- I will never earn the amount of money I need to live the life I want

And for each of these negative statements, come up with its positive opposite:

- I am taking the steps necessary to build a successful home-based business
- I am extremely lovable
- I am learning the skills necessary to increase my value and income

Next, repeat these new positive suggestions to yourself in your new confident internal voice. Can you feel the difference? If your internal voice is in a state of confident before you start, your affirmations will have more impact, instantly. Do you see the possibilities? Once you get your internal voice on your side and remove the conflict, you can give yourself the confidence to achieve anything with positive affirmations.

If you're one of those people who has previously failed when attempting to use positive suggestions to yourself, don't beat yourself up. In fact, you're way ahead of most people who are, at this very moment, talking to themselves in a negative manner and keeping themselves from the life they truly want.
