How to make Affirmations Actually Work: The Truth on Affirmations and Visualization

Welcome back to another video. This one is going to be understanding the truth on affirmations and really understanding more about how to make visualization a more powerful process in our life. Now I remember that when I first learned about the whole idea of the law of attraction, or like the movie The Secret, I remember that one thing that I started to understand and look into was the idea of affirmations.

First off, let's say that what are affirmations even really good for, or even the idea of visualization. Understanding that most of what we experience in our life is ran from our subconscious mind, at least that's what we learn a lot of, is understanding that a lot of the microhabits that we have, a lot of the ways that we identify ourself to be, our constantly being perpetuated over and over again. It happens so much that eventually it becomes something that's on autopilot. It's something we don't really know we're doing it when it just keeps running itself.

Now when I say this, understand that repitition really is one of the ways that we get through to the subconscious mind. Maybe I'll show you a diagram here of understanding ... I know the classic example is the iceberg. Most of what we see, underneath that, there's a whole foundation. That foundation is normally a product of the idea of maybe the experiences that we went through when we were young, the beliefs that we've developed about who we think that we are, and a lot of different ways that end up becoming put on autopilot to where we're not necessarily consciously aware of them. Because of that, it continues to perpetuate the same experiences over and over again because it affects the way that we identify ourself to be.

Now with that being said, the reason I explained all that is because really the more that we tap into our subconscious mind, or really just make the unconscious conscious, because once we become aware of a habit it's no longer habit, it then is a choice if it's continued to be perpetuated ... I have a video on this idea as well. It's understanding that when we bring [thit 02:34] into the awareness, that's when we begin to take our power back.

With that being said, let's understand a little bit more about how we can make affirmations so much more powerful. Now for me, this is something that I did when it was even involving looking at myself in the mirror and saying things about myself to make me feel a certain way, to up my state, whether that be to feel more confident. This is mainly like maybe seven or eight years ago that I was doing things like this, looking at myself in the mirror. I find that when doing affirmations, with the hacks I'm going to be giving you, if you do it while looking in the mirror and deep into your eyes, it has such a powerful effect. I don't know if that has something maybe links into the brain a little bit more or just we're able to connect to the deeper part of who we are, but it really seems to make a difference.
Now with that being said, the biggest missing key to affirmations and why they don't work for people is because I think people do it in such a logical way. They're sitting there and they're like, "I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy." There is no emotion introduced into the idea of the affirmation. Because of that, it doesn't actually start to gain momentum. Now let's understand something about emotion. Now emotion, while we have the traditional emotion is energy in motion, emotion really is a very powerful force. When we begin to act in emotion, what we begin to do is we begin to express emotion. We quicken the manifestation time of what we want to manifest.
