The subconscious mind has incredible ability to change our lives for the better if we understand how to use it! A large part of using the subconscious mind is learning how to program it to do the things we want it to. One of the absolute best ways we can program our subconscious is through the use of affirmations. Affirmations are a powerful mental programming technique that are underutilized and laughed at by many. To affirm means "to make firm." So affirmation simply means to make a strong statement that something is already so. We know that we will eventually reap whatever our conscious mind sows onto the field of the subconscious. So through affirmations we will develop into whatever image of ourselves we create, be it good or bad. Did you know that boxing legend Muhammad Ali used affirmations too? Before and after some of his fights, he was heard saying: "I'm the king of the world, I am the greatest!" There were also times that before his fight, he says: "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee!" Well, if it works for him, I guess it would work for us too!

I agree, ALL the time :D Even if it's only 3-5 times at a time, over a day you may gather 50, and over a week 250, and so on

It is important for people to feel good about themselves. One way of reinforcing positive feelings would be positive affirmations. It's not enough to hear them from other people. We should also develop or improve whatever image we have of ourselves.

Hi dolce_vita! I do believe in affirmations or "mantra" as other people call it. Every morning and before I sleep each night and those lull moments in between, I will tell myself..I am beautiful. I am kind. I am strong. I will seize any opportunity that comes my way. God loves me and I love Him. I am loved by so many. and all those positive affirmations I can think of. I also have pictures of a beautiful car, a beautiful house, a beautiful garden and a beautiful baby beside my laptop. this helps in putting positive thoughts in my subconscious too. Take Care and God Bless! Happy Mylotting!

Yes! This is why it works to place an affirmation in your line of sight, so that you are always able to see it. That way you are re-affirming in your sub-conscious and your conscious mind the life that you want to have.
