How to Transform Your Life Through Affirmations
November 9th, 2009 | 
Author: Is it actually feasible for any of us to take control of our personal life experiences and to transform our individual environment, at least partially, through the repetition of positive affirmations?
From getting a parking spot or a new job, to attracting the perfect life partner or cultivating inner peace, there is a lot of corroboration to support the power of affirmations to make positive change. But, before we attempt to improve the occurrences in our life through a consistent “mental focus” on the changes we desire, it might be very helpful if we took a personal “reality check” to make sure that we have complete faith that thought, our thought, genuinely has creative power, so that we’re not just fooling ourselves.
We can’t hope to positively transform effects in our individual life by changing their mental cause, i.e., our point of view, through affirmations, if we are convinced that “certain conditions” are completely and unarguably physical in origin, have no mental cause or thought correlation and, therefore, are beyond our ability to bring about a change. If we doubted that by changing our thinking through affirmations, we could change our personal life, then what good would affirmations do for us? It is a prerequisite that we have at least a “mustard seed” of faith in the power of our mental focus and affirmations move a mountain in our individual life, in order for them to work.
Everyday, each of us unconsciously demonstrates a measurable amount of faith. Have you ever been “surprised” at a sunrise? Did the possibility that the sun might not come up in the morning ever cross your mind? Most of us don’t question our unshakable faith in the earth’s gravitational relationship to the sun. We can begin by knowing that we do, in fact, have a mustard seed of faith within us and we can grow a garden of faith with it.
Saying affirmations while filled with uncertainty, vacillating between faith and fear, is similar to filling a balloon with water instead of air. Our desires wiggle here and bulge there, but they never take flight. Why does faith give soaring power to our affirmations? Because unshakable faith is a mental insistence that elevates what we “say” we believe to a place of realization. Realization is the “secret” to creative mental power. Affirmations can, indeed, really change our life – when they feel true, and what we say is what we truly believe.
