Affirmations,
sometimes called mantras or self talk, are a auditory
mental technique which can be used to create
new mental processes and positive new results
in your life - whether it be in the area of self
help, health, business or sports improvement.
An affirmation
can be just a few words, or even a short statement,
which is then mentally repeated at regular
intervals until the subconscious mind accepts
it, and begins to go to work at bringing this
command to fruition in your life.
Affirmations
have the ability to change negative thought patterns,
attitudes and beliefs, and athletes also
use them to create new mental programs in their
mind for their bodies to follow when they are
competing.
We also
use affirmations on our mental training and self
help programs during the relaxed state, in
the form of hypnotic suggestions, to bring about
positive change in your life via your powerful
subconscious mind.
Some
people use affirmations throughout their day,
during the normal awakened state - simply
by repeating a particular affirmation, internally
in their mind over and over again - literally
bombarding their subconscious with one repetitive
thought, over and over again until it accepts
it.
However,
this constant repetition of an affirmation
is not required when in the relaxed state
- and so during our mental training programs we
use an effective state of relaxation to ensure
the subconscious mind accepts the affirmations
easily and effortlessly, without huge repetition
being required.
This is
because during the normal awakened state, the
conscious mind often blocks much of the information
from getting through.
Affirmations
are are perfectly normal technique because whether
we realize it or not, we have a constant inner
dialogue going on within our minds, all day long!
The problem
with this is that our inner-talk is not
always as positive as we would like it to be,
and so this is where affirmations come
in very handy - because instead of mentally criticizing
ourselves, we instead repeat a positive affirmation
to ourselves to keep our mind focused on the positive.
This blocks
the flow of negative thoughts and helps to program
your subconscious for whatever goal you have focused
it upon, with your affirmation.
It's
estimated that 60,000 thoughts a day flow through
our minds, and so with affirmations,
this is a time when you actually get to choose
what you want your mind to think, instead of allowing
it to randomnly run negative thoughts as can so
often do.
