The Ultimate Secrets of Truly Effective Affirmation Techniques  
Affirmation has been used by successful people for centuries. It has helped many
ordinary people achieve extraordinary results in their lives. It has turned many failures into successes. It has made many miracles happen in the history of human evolution.

However, the majority of people who use affirmation find that it doesn't work.

Why is this the case? What are the elements that people have missed when they use affirmation techniques? I constantly ask myself these questions, and seek for the answers.

The result is, no one book gives the complete answer. Some tips given in one book work for a specific situation, but not for others. Other books give other tips that work for other situations, but not for this.

I have tested and filtered out the ineffective ones, and left only what I call the Ultimate Effective Technique Secrets.   The Purpose of Affirmation:  

Before I give you the effective techniques, I must make you understand the true purpose of affirmation.

Simply stated, the purpose of affirmation is to pass a command from the Conscious Mind to the Subconscious Mind.

The Subconscious Mind has the ability, in anything it accepts as true, to do whatever it takes to turn it into reality.

STOP: Read that again.

The purpose of an affirmation is to pass a message to the subconscious mind, and to make it believe the message is true.

So this brings us to the first element of an effective affirmation.  

1.  The affirmation must be believable to the Subconscious Mind   Most of the affirmations people use, fail at this first stage. They tend to give an unrealistic message to the subconscious mind, hoping for a positive response.

If you are financially broke, and you say to yourself "I earn $100,000 per year", is this believable to your mind?

If your body is totally out of shape, and you say to yourself "I am very attractive", is this believable to your mind? I doubt it.  

What if you are currently broke, and you want to make $100,000 per year? What if you are out of shape, and you want to make yourself attractive? I find the best & easiest way is to use the word "I choose" in your affirmation.  

Instead of saying "I earn $100,000 per year. "Say "I choose to earn $100,000 per year" Instead of saying "I am very attractive" Say "I choose to feel that people find me attractive"  Do you feel the difference?  

2.  The Subconscious Mind seeks proof There is a misconception that the affirmation must be repeated thousands of times before it can be installed in the Subconscious Mind. This is not necessarily true. You can use the repetition method to embed your affirmation, but there is an easier way.and that is, at the time you find the proof, state your affirmation.

Many people stay in poverty because they associate pain with money. Whenever they spend their money, they think of their bills, loans etc. This will automatically lead to ultimate pain. It is the feeling you attach to money that makes you rich or poor.  

How can we turn this to our advantage? Instead of feeling pain when spending money, what if we associate pleasure with it? So here's what you do the next time you go out shopping, at the moment you take out your money or credit card, say this affirmation to yourself "I always have more than enough to spend." See how that feels better.. This works because the subconscious mind sees the proof. As long as you have some money left in your pocket, this affirmation is always true, so the subconscious mind will believe it.

How about we combine the first and second methods together and make an affirmation like this: "I choose to feel that I always have more than enough to spend. Say this at the time you spend your money. See how you feel. You don't have to repeat it thousands of times, a few times of real life proof will make your subconscious mind believe it.  

3.  The affirmation must trigger Feelings. A fact about the subconscious mind is that it does not speak in words, you can only communicate with it through your feelings, and emotions.

STOP: Read that again.

There are two methods that you can use to trigger your feelings. The first method is to use words that involve feelings. Words like "fun, enjoyable, comfortable, delightful" will work effectively. The second method is to use imagination. Visualize that the situation stated in your affirmation has already come true. See yourself in that situation and Feel the Feelings.  

4.  The Affirmation must obey the 3 P's Factor. The 3 P's are Positive, Present Tense, and Personal. Affirmations must be stated positively.

So if you master these techniques making sure your affirmations are worded correctly, positive and they are Emotionally Charged you will tap into the Unlimited Creative Power of your Subconscious Mind, and Manifest All Your Desires.
