Daily Affirmations For Improved Results

Do you sometimes feel like you're strolling through life without paying much attention to what you really want to accomplish? Perhaps you've been striving for something and have yet to realize it? Having goals is one thing. Having the power to guarantee yourself the results you seek is an entirely different matter. And this is where daily affirmations come in.

For centuries, daily affirmations have been utilized by so many people to get what they want out of life. It's a technique that has been conclusively confirmed by doctors, scientists, and successful people all over the world. "An affirmation is the declaration that something is true" (source: Wikipedia).

The simple act of giving yourself 10-15 minutes at the start and/or end of each day to affirm to yourself that something is actually true has an amazing effect on conditioning your mind to think in a certain way. This is essentially the effect of "autosuggestion," which is sort of a form of hypnosis, or hypnotherapy. I'm sure you've heard of the saying that goes something like, "if you tell someone something enough times, they'll believe it to be true." So by making this "someone" YOU, you're effectively conditioning yourself to believe that something is true.

I spend a few minutes every day focusing on my affirmations. This is a great way to clear my mind, relax, breath easy, and paint pictures of who I am, what I want, where I'm heading... And it's not the same picture every day. One day I'll envision myself spending 4 weeks sailing the Mediterranean with 8 of my closest friends. The next time I'll envision myself having all the resources available to take care of my parents in their old age. The next day I'm imagining how my next business venture is going to be successful, profitable, and will help hundreds, if not thousands of other people in the process. And I find that the more focused and relaxed during my daily affirmations, the more likely I am to fully transform these thoughts into reality... They become truths in your life.

Go ahead, try it - it really works! It's so simply, yet so amazingly powerful.

For more insight into the time-tested power of daily affirmations, you might want to run a quick Google search for "daily affirmations" or "autosuggestion."
