Why Positive Affirmations Fail: Avoid these 3 mistakes

I've muscle tested many people saying affirmations, and if they say an affirmation that their subconscious does not believe, their body goes WEAK. The following are a list of words that you NEVER want to start an affirmation off with:

I am

I can

I will

I have

I want

The only exception to this is if you know for a fact that your mind and dominant belief are in alignment with the affirmation. I can tell you assuredly that in over 90% of the cases, it's not! So do all affirmations suck? New Years Resolution time is around the corner and I can hear you asking me, " I've already designed my vision board & set my goals & intentions. Why the heck are you raining on my parade Joy???"

So stop whining & let's start winning. Listen up! 

MISTAKE #1

Saying an affirmation that you don't believe.

There is an easy solution for this. ALWAYS put your affirmations in question form or start them with the words, 'I choose.'

EXAMPLES:

Instead of saying I am healthy

Say: I choose to be healthy

Instead of saying I will find my soul mate this year

Say: How is it that I easily find my soul mate

MISTAKE #2

You don't show your subconscious mind proof.

In my book, Supercharge Your Superhuman I mention a part of the brain called the, RAS-Reticular Activating System that helps you look for proof of your beliefs.

Most people use this tool against themselves.

EXAMPLES:

Whenever they spend money, they think of their bills. This will automatically associate pain with the act of spending money.

Instead: The next time you purchase something, affirm to yourself 'How is it that I ALWAYS have money to pay for my desires?'

You don't put stank on it. Bwhahahaha Go to urban dictionary to find out what that means lol. Seriously I am high on Carrot, apple, ginger, pineapple juice...so if this email is more loopty loo than normal...deal with it!

A fun fact about the subconscious mind is that it does not speak in words. You can only communicate with it through feelings & emotions.

The best way to add emotion to your affirmation is to picture someone telling you, 'congratulations.' Anytime you think of accomplishing your goal/intention, picture someone you love who is non-judgmental saying, 'congratulations." Feel that feeling each time.
