Affirmations are a great ‘tool’ to work on replacing our old unwanted negative or harmful beliefs. Affirmations are positive statements that we say to ourselves or that we can listen to,  in order to reprogram our mind with new positive thoughts and beliefs. The long-term objective is to learn to think positive. The goal is to choose general affirmations or to write case specific affirmations that reflect our new desired beliefs. These affirmations must be written and said in the present tense, with a strong positive message and intonation. One must practice their affirmations every day, several times a day. To start one must develop a routine that includes saying or listening to affirmations every morning and every night.

The key is to flood our mind with positivity. Thus, repetition is essential.

The more we’brainwash’ ourselves with these affirmations the better and faster our subconscious mind will be imprinted with our new desired beliefs. In scientific terminology, it is called ‘neuroplasticity’ (or brain plasticity – it is the ability of the brain to modify its connections or re-wire itself)  thus, what we are doing is ‘re-wiring’ our mind. We are changing the links and pathways of our old ways of thinking or habitual patterns of thoughts. The aim is to develop a new consciousness and to create new neuropathways regarding the important areas of our life, such as health, relationships, finances, work or business. In order to see results and to stay on course, we need to develop a clear plan of what must be done. The best way is to have a daily schedule and to follow that same schedule every day in order to develop a positive pattern/habit.

Do not believe anyone that tells you that you can manifest or change a negative belief with little or no effort. It is just not true, it takes work and dedication. A strong mental discipline is what we need. Do not give up when results do not come as fast as you would like. We have to stick to the program until we see positive results. The idea is to understand and believe in the working of the mind in order to see the desired outcome. Thus, once we know the truth of how the mind works we do not need to worry about the ‘how or when’ our desire is going to manifest, we simply need to know it will.

We must imprint our subconscious mind, and in so doing, the object is to not concentrate or worry about the truth of what we are saying in our affirmations. Since the subconscious mind does not know the truth from non-truth, it will take for truth whatever we tell it with emotion and consistency. The most important thing is to understand and believe that we deserve to be happy, loved, healthy and financially free. We have to develop a wealth and prosperity frame of mind and to let go of our poverty and negative state of mind/consciousness.

It is crucial to remember, that we need to say our affirmations with positive feelings and expectancy. To believe in the end goal. Our belief or non-belief in our actual affirmation is not really critical for imprinting our mind, (if we repeat our affirmation(s) enough times we will end up believing) but rather what is truly important is our belief and consciousness of our Divine right to have all the good we want such as health, happiness, love and wealth. The key to succeeding lies in our consciousness regarding what we Divinely deserve. Do we hold a positive or negative frame of mind or consciousness? Do we truly believe in a prosperity/wealth consciousness? If yes, then it is not difficult to say our affirmations with feeling and emotions, even if currently our affirmations do not reflect our reality. But rather they reflect our belief in the outcome and that we Divinely deserve that reality.

Here is a list of affirmations that we can use to reprogram our mind:
