The Power Of Affirmations And Your Subconscious Mind

By Danae A. Strub


The power of affirmations has long been promoted by all the self-help gurus and masterminds the world over.But what are affirmations, and how do they work?Affirmations are simply statements that we say we say to our self that are either positive or negative in nature. We use affirmations every day. These affirmations basically come in the form of our self-talk or inner dialogue that constantly goes around in our heads.To get a better grasp of how affirmations actually work and the theory behind them, it's important first to have a good understanding of how our mind works.The Workings Of The Mind. When we come into this world, our brain is like one huge sponge soaking up all the information that it is fed. The source of this information comes from all the experiences and situations we encounter has we grow up towards adulthood.Our parents, family, friends, teachers and colleagues generally shape our life experiences in the early years.All this information that is being fed to us is channeled through what we call our conscious mind into our subconscious or unconscious mind.The Subconscious- The Mind's Hard Drive.Our subconscious is by far the most powerful part of our mind.If you think of our mind as a computer then your subconscious is the hard drive of that computer. It's the part of your mind that stores every experience, situation, feeling and emotion, both positive and negative that we've encountered throughout our lives.

As you experience your life, any situation that is similar to the event that was recorded on your blueprint, will activate the limited belief associated with it, and the subconscious will send this message to your conscious mind. The subconscious mind determines how you will react to the experience, whether by doing so is negative or positive, or in your best interests or not. The subconscious believes that it is doing its utmost to follow your wishes, by applying how you felt in the past to what is happening now.Obviously, the messages that you sent it when you were a child, would not be in your best interests now, so you will need to change the blueprint by replacing limited beliefs with new, positive beliefs and attitudes.

Our subconscious does in fact employ this very same method with every situation in our lives. As I've already mentioned, it's this part of our mind that stores all our experiences, situations, feelings and emotions.All this information that we gather and store literally goes on to create our dominant habits, beliefs and behaviors, which in turn moulds and creates our life and destiny.Your Life Is A Reflection Of Your Past Thought .Another very important thing to know is that your external environment is and always will be a reflection of your internal environment. Put another way, the life you're currently living is a mirror image of the thoughts and beliefs you hold deep in the recesses of your mind.So can you see how important and powerful the mind is and in particular the subconscious mind?Let me ask you a straight forward question.Are you happy with how your life is at the moment?If not, then it probably means you need to start reprogramming your mind.Reprogramming Your Mind Through The Power Of Affirmations You may think that it would really difficult to re-program your mind.But in fact this can be done relatively easily and quickly.One of the most powerful and most effective ways of reprogramming the mind is through the power of affirmations.

I mentioned at the beginning of this article, affirmations are simply the positive and negative statements you say to yourself every day. These can come in the form.It is this self talk and inner dialogue that determines your consistent thoughts. What's more, it is those consistent thoughts that have brought you to where you are in your life today.So by changing those consistent thoughts, the course of your life will automatically change.Using affirmations is an extremely powerful technique to help you do this.Before you use affirmations, you first have to become a persistent observer of your thoughts. When you notice yourself thinking self-defeating, negative thoughts you must change that thought to one that's positive in that very moment. Doing this immediately will neutralize the negative thought there and then and prevent it from taking hold and adding to the rest of the garbage you store within your subconscious.

In solving the mystery of the subconscious mind, it is imperative to realize that all the thoughts or beliefs allowed into it will be manifested in life. You cannot escape from this fact of life. If you note anything manifesting in your life, even if you did not deliberately plan for it, look at what has been fed to the subconscious. This means that there is a need to be diligent in making sure that all our thoughts are monitored and directed to that which is beneficial to the mind. What benefits the mind, will most likely benefit our lives and help us achieve success in various areas.
