Can Daily Affirmations Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind?

By Michael D. Nolting


There are a lot of people out there that are skeptical about the idea that daily affirmations will be able to do anything to help improve their lives. A lot of these people think that repeating a phrase to themselves every single day seems a little silly and even embarrassing. If you already know that you want to be happy, wealthy, and successful, then what's the point of repeating this to yourself every single day?

Norman Vincent Peale's famous book "The Power Of Positive Thinking" uses some of the most famous affirmations that people know. But one of his most famous affirmations is "I can do all things through Jesus Christ our savior who strengthens me...". The fact that it's quoted from Philippians 4:13 gives away more about what the essence of an affirmation is and where they come from. It shows that some of the most fundamental positive statements we use are derived from ancient texts and thoughts.

But, surely, the point is that someone who uses this affirmation on a daily basis will find some relevance in it? They are likely to be someone who follows a western religious doctrine and takes comfort from the Bible. You would be unlikely to find someone of an eastern faith using this particular form of words as a source of strength.I recently visited Nepal and had the privilege of seeing many Buddhist followers repeatedly chanting the mantra "Om Ma Ni Pad Me Hum" as they walked trance-like around the Boudhanath in Kathmandu.

Imagine a small child that is constantly teased or verbally abused. Her schoolmates are continually making fun of her and telling her she's ugly and stupid. Or worse yet, it could even be her own parents verbally abusing her. She hears these taunts for so long, that she eventually becomes to believe them and these messages stay with her even when she becomes an adult. It's these negative thoughts that can cause her to wind up in a dead-end job or marry a deadbeat husband.

Positive daily affirmations are a powerful way to reprogram your subconscious mind. They can replace negative and destructive thoughts with positive and happy ones. When you are continually repeating uplifting and positive messages to yourself, they begin to soak into your subconscious mind. After a while, your subconscious mind will begin to accept and believe these thoughts. When this happens, your conscious mind will begin to make good decisions that affect your life in a positive manner.

By now, most people know the basics of positive daily affirmations. These are sayings you repeat to yourself in order to program your subconscious mind into changing your view of the world. The harder part to understand is how they work with the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction states that you attract to you what you spend your energy on. Quite simply, if you focus your energy on good and positive things, then good and positive things will be attracted to your life. The best way to focus your energy on the things you want to attract to you is by using daily positive affirmations.

Many people don't realize how easy it is to change your life for the better. All that is needed is to change your way of thinking so that only positive thoughts run through your mind daily and no negative thoughts intrude.It is not easy to change the way your mind thinks and it will take time and repeated use of positive affirmations to make it happen, but once you do change the way you think, you will be amazed at how much of a positive impact it will have on you and the happiness you will find in your life from now on.

Another one-word tip for positive daily affirmations is emotions. Pour your emotions into your affirmations so that they become more than just a statement. It is hard to really focus on something that is nothing more than just words. In order to get the most out of your affirmations, you should visualize what your statement represents. Pour as much emotion as you can into them, so that it is easier to know what you should be feeling when you achieve your goals. This will make your statements become something real and almost tangible as opposed to nothing more than empty words. Your positive daily affirmations should then become almost a part of you.

Use pictures whenever possible because this will make it much easier to change your way of thinking to be positive. By repeating the affirmations to yourself and seeing a picture at the same time, your subconscious mind will have a much easier time of believing it is true in your physical world. Now that you know how to use daily affirmations to achieve the complete happiness you want; all that is left is to get started using them. Just remember that it will take time for them to start working, but once they do you will be amazed at how many things in your life you can change so that you have complete happiness in all areas of your life.

When used in the correct manner, positive daily affirmations are the best way to put the Law of Attraction to work for you. You are programming your subconscious mind to see and believe that all of your energies should be focused on the positive. This will in turn attract the positive back to you. Your positive daily affirmations are your key to achieving your goals in life.
