You are probably familiar with affirmations. They are your desires
> made into statements that you read or say to yourself. Don't
> underestimate this simple mind technique.
>
> The goal with Affirmation Imprinting is to repeat a statement over
> and over again, day after day, until it makes an "imprint" on your
> subconscious. Once this occurs, your subconscious mind will sense
> a difference between what it sees as being "real" and your outer
> physical world.
>
> This difference will cause a tension and your subconscious mind
> will provide you with ideas, motivation and behaviors so that your
> outer world will begin to match up with your inner world. It will
> seem almost magical the way doors and opportunities open up for you
> everywhere in order to make that affirmation a reality.
>
>
>
> But wait! In order for the affirmation imprinting to occur most
> effectively, the affirmation statements need to be written a
> specific way.
>
> Three guidelines to powerful affirmation statements:
>
> 1. They must be personal. You are going to use the words "I" and
> "My" in each case. For example, a proper affirmation would be "I
> am confident when speaking in front of a large audience", not "You
> are confident...."
>
> 2. They must be positive. You would state your affirmation like
> this: "I eat healthy meals each day." A negative, and thus
> ineffective affirmation, would be "I don't eat junk food."
>
> You see, although the subconscious is a powerful tool, it is still
> rather simple. It sees what you are saying as images rather than
> words, and so it can't comprehend words like "don't" and "can't."
>
> When you say, "I don't eat junk food," your subconscious mind
> brings up an image of you and junk food, and you actually begin to
> reinforce the behavior that you are trying to change.
>
> 3. They must be in present tense. Logically you would think to
> make the affirmation in the future tense, as in "I will be
> successful in my business." But this isn't the case. When you put
> your statement out into some distant future, no tension is created
> within the subconscious mind, and therefore no imprinting or
> changes will occur.
>
> You see, when you say that you will be successful someday, you are
> also implying that you are not successful now. That matches
> exactly with what your subconscious knows to be true, and therefore
> no change.
>
> Just by changing that same affirmation to present tense, "I am
> successful in my business," you create the tension needed and your
> subconscious goes to work. I don't mean to sound repetitive, but
> these three guidelines are crucial to Affirmation Imprinting.
>
> Ok, now you know how to write powerful affirmations. Let's put
> this knowledge to use.
>
>
>
> Action Plan for Affirmation Imprinting:
>
> Step 1: Choose a maximum of three behaviors that you would like to
> change. Since you are just starting out, trying to change too many
> things at once will greatly reduce the probability of any
> affirmations being imprinted onto your subconscious. Ideally, you
> want to choose just one behavior to focus on. Once you start to
> see the effects of your affirmation becoming your reality, only
> then would you start with a new affirmation.
>
> Step 2: Get ten index cards (the 3 1/2 by 5 inch kind) and using
> the guidelines I gave to you above, properly write out your
> affirmation in big, bold lettering.
>
> Step 3: You are going to place these ten cards around your
> environment so that you see them constantly. Place one by your
> bed, one on your refrigerator, one on your bathroom mirror, one on
> the steering wheel of your car (please don't try to read the
> affirmation while you're driving), one by your computer monitor,
> and so on in places where you will see them often. I find it also
> helps if I keep one in the back pocket of my pants.
>
> Step 4: As soon as you wake up in the morning and right before you
> fall asleep at night, say the affirmation out loud twenty times.
> When you repeat these statements, speak with enthusiasm, and smile
> knowing that with each affirmation read, you are deepening the
> imprint on your subconscious mind.
>
> Step 5: Each time you see any of the other index cards that you
> wrote the affirmation on, say the statement out loud ten times,
> again with enthusiasm and faith.
>
> Step 6: When the imprinting occurs and you start to see the
> changes in your life "magically " happen, you can move on to a new
> affirmation to work on.
>
> I know that it sounds over simplistic, but this mind technique has
> worked for countless others and can work for you if you maintain
> the discipline to carry it out.
>
> In our next lesson, we will talk about the cousin to the
> affirmation: subliminal messages.
