The Secret to Successful Affirmations

The Secret to Successful Affirmations

One of the big secrets to successful affirmations is a very simple one. It can be easily overlooked.

Sometimes we're so busy trying figure out the exact wording for the situation or thing we want to affirm into our lives that we forget that it's equally important HOW we affirm it.

ALWAYS STATE YOUR AFFIRMATION IN THE PRESENT TENSE.

So instead of "I will attract more money into my life" or "I will meet a fabulous new soulmate" you should be saying:

"I am attracting more money into my life" or "I am meeting a fabulous new soulmate."

You wouldn't believe the difference this one little "tweak" can make! It can really speed up the rate at which the condition you're affirming shows up in your life.

If you are careful to phrase all of your affirmations in the present, a magical thing happens. You realize just how profoundly your thoughts and beliefs affect the reality that takes shape around you.

And then you can spook yourself because you realize that the world of physical matter is truly this wiggly, inconsequential thing, easily manipulated like drops of water.

If you phrase your affirmations in a future tense, you're manifesting the polar opposite of the thing you are affirming. Because you're affirming that you will have this thing in the future, which means there's no chance in heck that you're allowing it into your life this very moment.

So imagine if you're going around affirming "I will have a million dollars." You really can see it, you completely believe it, you can visualize that million dollars somewhere off in your future just waiting for you to show up. That future you is wearing a great big smile.

Meanwhile, there's a briefcase of money with a million dollars in it sitting right in front of you at the bus stop. It's unmarked, unclaimed, and yours if you want it.

When you're affirming your LACK of a million dollars, your vibration will be such that you literally WON'T SEE the million dollars that might be sitting right in front of you, ready for you to take it home. Even if it jumps up and down, doing a little dance inside its briefcase, shouting "Take me home! Take me home!" you won't hear it, and you won't see it. Your vibration is not permitting that million dollars to join you in the present. You're refusing it entry into your current reality.

Instead, your vibration is affirming the LACK of that million, so that million dollars in that briefcase will remain completely invisible to you because you have shifted your reality to one in which you are 100% POSITIVE that you will have a million in your FUTURE.

Bad news - you're living in the present. That's where you need to affirm having the million dollars. In the here and now.

Perhaps you're not affirming that a million dollars is waiting for you up ahead, but you're telling yourself through your affirmations that a wonderful love relationship will turn up. . .in your future.

What good does that do you now? Don't you want somebody to cuddle up with NOW, in the present? That's a much more effective way of keeping your toes warm. If you want your toes warm TODAY, stop affirming that Mr. or Ms. Right will turn up in the future and affirm that he or she is being magnetized into your reality TODAY. Affirm them right into your current sphere of influence.

What are you waiting for?

So remember - tweak your affirmations very carefully to make sure that they are affirming greater and greater things or more pleasing situations for you IN THE PRESENT.

Because last time I checked, that's where we are all hanging out. Here. In this moment.
