10 Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Affirmations
3. Bridge your affirmation. You can also start with an affirmation that you already believe about yourself. Telling yourself something you believe will help bridge your old positive belief with your new positive belief. 4. Make them rhyme or humorous. Your brain loves humor and rhyming. There is a reason that poetry and comedy has survived for so many years. If you can write your affirmation so you laugh when you read it or rhyme it will be much more effective. “As I was created from above, my heart is filled with self love.” 5. Get in a good mood before saying them. Do not rely on the affirmation to change your mood. Start already in a good mood. Dance, sing a song, think back to positive memories, or any other way to get yourself in a good mood. When you do that then the affirmations will be a part of your good mood instead of using them to create them. They will become beliefs much quicker. We learn better in good moods than bad. 6. Turn it into a game. You also love games. Games are fun. Saying affirmations can be boring. Turn it into a game somehow. Make some affirmations and number them and roll a dice to see which affirmation you are saying or you can think of a better game.
7. Write all the ways the affirmation is already true. Before writing your affirmation first think about all the ways your affirmation is already true and then write them down before you write your affirmation. If you are writing an affirmation for health, write down all the ways that you are healthy before you write your affirmation.
8. Appreciate your life. Get into the feeling of appreciation by writing down five to ten things you appreciate about your life before you write or say your intentions. Getting into that feeling will energize your intentions.
9. Create a ritual. Another thing you enjoy is rituals. Create an affirmation shrine where you light some incense, and do a little meditation before hand or after you write your intentions burn them in the sacred fire (safely). 10. Use EFT. EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique is really good for helping to dissipate your negative emotions. Emotional Freedom Technique is based on Chinese Acupuncture points.
Now you have ten ways you can get the most out of your affirmations. Using just one of these tips with your affirmation will allow you to energize your ability to change your beliefs. When you change your thoughts you will change your life.
