The Power Of Affirmations

by Emmanuel Segui

Doctor Emile Coué, a legendary 19th-century French psychotherapist, made a giant step in personal change when he discovered a method which transformed and accelerated the process of change.

His method was so simple that it was not accepted or believed for along time. However, his clinic was achieving recovery rates 5 times faster than any other similar hospital or clinic in Europe.

His simply taught each of his patients to say: "Every day, in every way, I'm feeling better and better".

This is an affirmation, which, when enters your subconscious mind, is accepted as true.

Affirmations work because of the two principles of the subconscious mind: the agreement principle and the compliance principle which say that whatever you say by the conscious mind, the subconscious mind accepts it as it is.

The subconscious mind doesn't know right or wrong, real or unreal. It stores every bit of information, every command. Affirmations are strong statements or commands from your conscious mind to your subconscious mind.

And it is accepted faster when you're relaxed. That's why you want to begin by doing some relaxation exercises.

I'm going to give you 2 affirmation techniques you can apply right now for deep programming.

Remember that affirmations are based on the 3 Ps: They are positive, present tense and personal. An affirmation such as "I like myself" is positive, present tense and personal. It is also simple. The simpler, the better.

1. The written affirmation technique.

To use this technique, sit down with a notebook, in the morning, and write out 5–10 goals you want to achieve in the day, week, year.

Then close your eyes, take a deep breath (or do a relaxation exercise) and visualize the goal as accomplished and say your goal, with an authoritative command and with emotions (calm, happiness).

Then release it, completely, let it go, open your eyes and carry on with your day.

2. The quick affirmation technique.

This technique can be used in any situation. It takes 10–30 seconds and is very effective. Professional speakers, actors and top business people know and understand the importance of this technique.

The way it works is simple. You get by yourself, close your eyes, affirm the ideal outcome, visualize it, emotionalize it and release it. See and feel the event working out successfully. Then go into the meeting, or whatever situation, with calmness and confidence. Let the law of belief work on you at that moment.

This is 2 simple affirmation techniques you can use right now to program or re-program yourself for success.

To know more about how the power of affirmation will change your life, I recommend that you sign up to Jeff Staniforth's newsletter (it's *free*) and join the likes of Louise Hay, Anthony Robbins and Deepak Chopra and millions of others who have discovered the power of affirmation.
