Affirmations are an extremely under utilized tool. Some say it works and some say it doesn't. As with anything in life, there are always those you have not experienced what they hoped.
Where am I going with this?
My point is simply this ... maybe you do not fully understand the correct way to make affirmations work for you. You can say affirmations for many subjects: health, wealth, anxiety, love, etc. you name it. The key to making affirmations work ... is how they make you feel. Does your affirmation change your mood? Or do you have an inner voice cancelling the affirmation? Do you hear your small voice (ego) telling you it just isn't true? "I am rich", "I am lean and at my ideal weight", "I am in a wonderful loving relationship with my soul-mate".
Does you ego argue with you: "rich ...you're broke", "you don't look lean to me", "looks to me like you are alone." This is when you need to take control. You need to take control of your mind and get it to focus on WHAT YOU WANT. You need to say your affirmations and feel the feelings of what you are affirming. So if you say "I am rich" over and over again, you need to feel like your are rich. The affirmation is your re-programming your subconscious mind (and drowning out your ego) so you do get what you affirm.
Know this, words by themselves have no power. Just repeating words that do not invoke a change of feeling for the better are a waste of your time. Pick words and feelings that make your buzz with excitement and really feel the feelings of having, being or doing what you are affirming.
I often use just one word affirmations like "love", "energy" or "riches". As long as the word invokes a positive feeling change then I affirm it. Often when I am feeling I need an energy boost, I will affirm "energy" and in a short time I have the energy I desired.
Affirmations are one of the best under utilized tools I use. Spend time daily doing them. You could even spend a few minutes. It doesn't take too much time. Just remember you need a feeling change in the positive. As with anything, you need to do this with repetition to make it work for you. So set aside some time and do it daily.
