Money Affirmations: The Wonderfully “Bad” Affirmation That “Clicked”

noreply@blogger.com (grantpasay) — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 03:39:00 +0000

A lot of excellent articles list tips on how to construct a “good” affirmation.

It’s generally agreed upon that a “good” affirmation is one that’s personal, in the present tense, emotion-evoking, focused on what you desire as opposed to its opposite or absence, and so on, as discussed in those “tips” articles I mentioned.

For example,

“I am [personal] now [present tense] enjoying [emotion-evoking] living in my fabulous townhouse [focused on what’s desired] etc. etc.”

So, if that’s what a “good” affirmation looks like, what’s a bad affirmation?

A Wonderfully “Bad” Affirmation

Several years ago, a friend of mine began using affirmations for the first time in her life. She’d never read any articles on how to construct a “good” affirmation, and, as a result, she came up with a wonderfully “bad” affirmation:

“Inner turmoil is not necessary.”

Just look at that sorry excuse for an affirmation. It’s not explicitly personal. It’s not explicitly in the present tense. The only emotion it refers to is ‘turmoil’.

And as for the subject of focusing on what you desire as opposed to its opposite or absence, many of those articles I mentioned also say that when you use words like “don’t” or “not” in an affirmation, your subconscious and conscious minds actually filter them out.

For example, they’ll point out that if I say to you, “Don’t think about a pink elephant,” you’ll actually think about a pink elephant. Why?

Because, the theory goes, your mind filters out the word “don’t” and all you’re left with is “Think about a pink elephant,” (which you probably found yourself doing, right?).

And if that theory is actually correct (I’ll leave that discussion for another article), then my friend’s affirmation goes from being “Inner turmoil is not necessary” to “Inner turmoil is necessary.”

In other words, all she’s doing is focusing even more on what she doesn’t want, which, according to the theories, will only produce more of that turmoil she’s intending to leave behind.

An Affirmation That ‘Clicked’

The funny thing about my friend, however, is that by religiously saying that wonderfully “bad” affirmation to herself over and over and over again, she actually moved from experiencing inner turmoil to knowing true inner peace.

How could that be? Shouldn’t the exact opposite have occurred?

My personal theory on the matter is alluded to in a statement made by Florence Scovel Shinn, who was a master of affirmations. She said,

“You will be a failure, until you impress the subconscious with the conviction you are a success. This is done by making an affirmation which 'clicks'.”

It’s really that ‘clicks’ part of the sentence that I think is so important.

You see, when someone would come to Florence Scovel Shinn for help, she’d listen to their situation, and then construct an affirmation and say it to the person.

If the person didn’t get visibly excited by the affirmation, she’d construct another, and another, and another, until finally one ‘clicked’ and the person’s eyes lit up. Then she’d send them on their way.

My Friend’s Affirmation ‘Clicked’

And that, in my opinion, is why my friend’s wonderfully “bad” affirmation, the one that broke all the rules on how to construct an effective affirmation, was able to set about the process of change she desired to experience. It clicked!

Now, would her transformation have been even quicker and easier if she’d constructed a “good” affirmation? I don’t know how anyone could say for sure.

But one thing I’m pretty sure of is this.

While my friend certainly could have constructed a “better” affirmation than “Inner turmoil is not necessary,” if that affirmation hadn’t clicked, I think she’d still be better off with that wonderfully “bad” affirmation that did click.

Bottom line: if the affirmations you’re using don’t ‘click,’ get new ones, no matter how “good” your current ones are.

And a great place to begin is with your own Money Affirmations MP3 or CD. With 90+ powerful money affirmations each, you have more than a great chance of finding at least one that 'clicks' (and sometimes one is all it takes, as my friend demonstrated).

Money Affirmations: How is the Law of Attraction Related to Affirmations?

noreply@blogger.com (grantpasay) — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 17:37:00 +0000

Since the release of The Secret movie a few years ago, the "Law of Attraction" has become more mainstream. But where did this law, and all it speaks of, come from?

Well, it was not invented by Rhonda Byrne, the producer of The Secret, or by any of her many guests (Joe Vitale, Bob Proctor, Bill Harris and others).

And while it's worth noting that The Secret movie (and Rhonda Byrne's book by the same name) definately gave the law a huge boost in popularity, the philosophy behind it has actually been around for at least a hundred years.

A Law is Born

In the early 1900s, the New Thought movement often used the term "Law of Attraction". Since then, other authors referred to it or presented similar positive thinking methods, including:

Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich)

Wallace Wattles (The Science of Getting Rich, which was also the inspiration for The Secret)

Florence Scovel Shinn (The Game of Life and How to Play It)

Louise Hay (You Can Heal Your Life)

Esther and Jerry Hicks channelling Abraham (Ask and It Is Given)
Joe Vitale (The Attractor Factor)

In "The Game of Life and How to Play It," Florence Scovel Shinn explains the law as follows:

"The invisible forces are ever working for man who is always 'pulling the strings' himself, though he does not know it. Owing to the vibratory power of words, whatever man voices, he begins to attract."

Others explain the Law Of Attraction as follows:

Know exactly what you want.

Ask the Universe for it.

Feel, behave and know as if the object of your desire is on its way.

Be open to receive it and let go of (the attachment to) the outcome.

A Marriage of Law and Affirmations

As you can see, this philosophy maps onto the use of affirmations. Plus, if you've been using affirmations already but have not yet learned much about the Law of Attraction, it doesn't really matter. Why?

Because the law is always working in the background, and always has been regardless of your knowledge of it.

The bottom line is that by focusing on certain things (by using affirmations or another method), those things seem to appear more often than not.

The Best Approach of All

But, as usual, the best approach is to try it for yourself and see.

And a great way to start trying it is by using the following affirmation:

"I am open to new ways of knowing how affirmations can work for me."

Affirmations: Do Affirmations Really Work?

noreply@blogger.com (grantpasay) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 01:16:00 +0000

Yes, affirmations really work. Just look to the lives of Louise Hay or Catherine Ponder for proof.

Both these women have used the power of affirmations to change their lives.

In some cases, the change was quick and dramatic, while in other cases the change took years to manifest.

"And how exactly does it work?"

Your subconscious mind is always at work, attracting into your life whatever is needed to fulfill the programming it has been fed by the experiences in your past.

In other words, if your subconscious has been fed data that tells it there isn't enough money to go around, your subconscious mind will arrange exactly that in your life.

But by listening to or saying statements that capture the essence of new things you desire to experience in life, your subconscious mind goes to work on making that new data your reality.

"So, why doesn't it work sometimes?"

Simply put, if your subconscious mind does not accept your affirmations, then it will not act upon them.

Instead, it will ignore them and continue acting upon the data fed to it in the past.

"So, what do you do then?"

If you find that no change is occurring in your life, then you know your subconscious programming has not changed.

And if your subconscious programming has not changed, the Law of Attraction dictates that you will continue to manifest what you did in the past.

The goal at that point, as in the beginning, is still to change your subconscious programming.

An approach proposed by Noah St. John is to try affirmations in the form of questions, such as, "Why is it so easy for me to always have enough supply?"

Try that one out for a while.

Money Affirmations: The "ABC's of Affirmations"

noreply@blogger.com (grantpasay) — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 23:08:00 +0000

Listening to or saying money affirmations, or affirmations in general, is a great way to consciously change your life.

But what do you affirm?

That’s up to you. Still, the following ABC’s of Affirmations will help point you in a positive direction to start.

As you read these ABC’s, play with turning them into affirmations that capture the essence of what you desire to experience in life...

A – Accept responsibility for everything you’ve experienced to date in life. Your thoughts, feelings, decisions and actions have created it all.

B – Believe that since you are responsible for everything you experience in life that also means you are now capable of creating the experiences you desire.

C – Choose your thoughts deliberately. Listening to or saying affirmations is a great way to select thoughts that will produce the feelings, decisions and actions that will create the results you desire.

D – Daydream about what you desire. Talk to yourself about it (affirmations). Feel it. See it. And make sure you feel good when doing so. (TIP: If it’s frustrating, you’re not thinking about what you want.)

E – Enjoy every moment of every day while remembering that life is not a problem to be solved, but an adventure to be enjoyed and a mystery to delight in (there’s an affirmation for you!).

F – Feed your mind thoughts and images that are consistent with what you desire to experience yourself. And if that means turning off certain shows, movies, the news and/or friends, your well being is worth it.

G – Get what you want by wanting what you get. Yes, have your dreams, acknowledge your desires, and set your goals. But keep them all as preferences. That way, you can still enjoy life until they manifest.

H – Help others. Whether they are down-and-out or just doing something you like, support them in the ways you can right now. You’ll feel great while planting seeds for receiving help from others yourself.

I – Ignore thoughts that aren’t consistent with what you desire to experience. Just because a thought arises in your awareness doesn’t mean it’s “your” thought or that “you” thought it. You don’t have to listen.

J – Jump for joy. It’s one thing to affirm that you feel great, and another thing to act like you feel great. You’ll be amazed at how much lighter you instantly feel when you simply jump around a bit. Try it!

K – Keep it positive. When telling “your story” to yourself or others, edit it to be the kind of tale you’d like to experience in the days to come. Your thoughts and words determine the plot of your upcoming scenes.

L – Love yourself, others, and everything. You have an endless supply, so give it without restraint. And remember love is something you do first and feel later; something you only experience by giving it away.

M – Monitor how your body feels. If you affirm, “I’m rich,” and your stomach screams, “What if I don’t have enough?” that’s your subconscious speaking. Make sure you listen, or all your affirming is in vain.

N – Never say never. Be open to everything life brings your way. Trust that your desires will be fulfilled, even if in a way you never imagined, or that something even better will manifest instead.

O – Open your mind. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve lived or how much you’ve been labeled, you can think new thoughts, feel new emotions, make new decisions and take new actions every single day.

P – Prepare for the fulfillment of your desires. As new desires emerge in your life, as they inevitably will, choose the thoughts, feelings, decisions and actions that will make it easy for those desires to be fulfilled.

Q – Quit whatever is inconsistent with what you desire. Even if you can’t quit everything all at once, start thinking about life as though you already have quit all those things, and watch for ways to make it so.

R – Reserve your judgment. Things are only “bad” or “wrong” if you think they are. And even things you think are “good” sometimes don’t serve you. Stick with the facts and you’re far less likely to resist life.

S – Sing your affirmations to yourself. Regardless of how well you sing, the more modes you use to expose your mind to your desired thoughts, the more thoroughly those thoughts will be adopted.

T – Trust your gut. If it’s telling you “A” when your affirmations are saying “B”, make sure you listen. Your gut is your subconscious, and while its thinking can change too, until it does, it will override your mind.

U – Understand that you’ll forget everything on this list from time to time. Also understand that the more often you remember what’s on this list, the more it will become second nature for you to think this way.

V – Value everything in your life. The more you appreciate the people and things around you, the richer you become. And the more you value your contribution in life, the more you will receive in exchange for it.

W – Wish upon a star, but only if that star is you. Tell yourself everything you would like, but only if you know that within you lies the power and intention to make your dreams come true through yourself.

X – Xenogamize. A botanical term meaning to produce unique results through cross-pollination. In other words, mix it up; think new thoughts; try new things. It promotes diversity and enhances robustness.

Y – Yell when nobody’s around. It’s a great way to release heavy energy from your body while creating a vacuum for the positive thoughts, feelings, decisions and actions you desire to move in.

Z – Zero in on what you desire. It’s your life; fill it up with whatever and whoever you like. It doesn’t matter what your family, friends or society say, it’s your decision how your life unfolds. Go with your desires!

Prosperity Affirmations - Can I Become Prosperous Just Through Affirmations? Part IV of IV

noreply@blogger.com (grantpasay) — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 19:26:00 +0000

In Part I, II and III of this article series, we established that:

prosperity affirmations are a great way to change your thinking to be aligned with enjoying wealth
listening to or saying affirmations alone is not enough for you to become prosperous
the Law of Sowing and Reaping and the Law of Giving and Receiving say you also have to give abundantly if you desire to receive abundantly
when you provide value to others through your work, products or services, that is also giving, even though there is an exchange of money

All of which raised the question...

But What Do I Give Exactly?

Some people say that if you desire to receive something, then you should give that same thing to others.

For example, if you desire to enjoy more money, then give more money to someone else in whatever measure you currently can. You could tip your waiter an extra dollar or even buy those shoes that cost a little bit more.

In both cases, you are giving more money to others with the expectation that you will likewise receive more money according to the Law of Giving and Receiving and the Law of Sowing and Reaping.

Giving In General

Other people say that the most important thing is that whatever you give, you give it freely with the intention of blessing whoever or whatever you are giving it to.

Why do I say "whoever and whatever" you are giving it to?

Because it's not just people who can receive your gifts of love, value and kindness. You can give to:

an animal (e.g., seeds for a bird on a freezing winter day)
a plant (e.g., water for a tree on a scorching summer day)
the planet (e.g., using a cloth bag for shopping)

In such cases, you don't desire to receive the exact thing you are giving (i.e., birdseed, water or less plastic). Rather, it's the essence of the thing you're giving that you would like to receive yourself:

love
kindness
good will
given with no strings attached

So, What Do I Give Exactly?

Simply give whatever you have to give. And if you can give the very thing you'd like to receive, then do that too.

And how does all this relate to affirmations again?

Well, if you desire to receive more, you need to start giving more.

And whenever you need to start doing something new, you'll need new thoughts, feelings and decisions as the basis of that action.

And prosperity affirmations are a great tool to help you make those changes to how you think, which will affect how you feel, decide and act.

All of which will combine to change the results you experience.

So, here's to you giving more of what you have, receiving more of what you desire, and enjoying every moment of the process!

Prosperity Affirmations - Can I Become Prosperous Just Through Affirmations? Part III of IV

noreply@blogger.com (grantpasay) — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 21:50:00 +0000

In Part I and II of this article series, we established that listening to or saying affirmations alone is not enough for you to become prosperous.

And while affirmations are a great way to change your thinking to be aligned with enjoying wealth, the Law of Sowing and Reaping and the Law of Giving and Receiving say you also have to give abundantly if you desire to receive abundantly.

All of which raised the question...

How Do I Give Abundantly?

You can give your time, your love, your help and an endless list of other things. You probably have done so and do so already. And according to the same measure that you give such things, you will receive in return.

But "giving" does not necessarily mean there is no exchange of money.

To clarify, when you work, you "give" of your time, effort, expertise and service.

When your company produces and delivers a product or service, you "give" of your creativity, support and resources.

In every one of these cases, the thing you are "giving" is value.

Exchanging Value For Money

According to the Law of Giving and Receiving and the Law of Sowing and Reaping, when you work at your job or when your company delivers its products or services, you are giving value that will result in you receiving value in exchange (usually in the form of money).

And the more abundantly you give of that value, the more abundantly you'll receive value in return.

So, the path to prosperity is to give as much value as you can.

What Does All This Have To Do With Affirmations?

Well, if you've been taught that "the more you give, the less you have," then your subconscious will be opposed to giving, let alone giving more.

By listening to or saying prosperity affirmations, however, you can begin planting thought seeds of giving abundantly.

And those thoughts will produce feelings, decisions and actions of abundant giving.

Which will produce the wealthy results you desire.

Okay, But What Do I Give Exactly?

In the last part of this article series, we'll discuss the final question from Part I: "What do I give?"...

Prosperity Affirmations: Can I Become Prosperous Just Through Affirmations? Part II of IV

noreply@blogger.com (grantpasay) — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 04:13:00 +0000

In Part I of this article series it was established that listening to or saying affirmations alone is not enough for you to become prosperous.

Instead, affirmations work on changing your thinking, which changes how you feel, decide and act, all of which sets things in motion toward you experiencing new results in your life.

One question that arose out of that discussion was, "So, what's my part to play?"

The answer, oddly enough, is this: "Whatever part you play."

You Create Your Reality

You see, any prosperity you experience is created by you. You think it, feel it, decide it and act upon it to create it.

And you do the same for every other part of the reality you experience, every day, every moment:

health
relationships
mood
etc.

Where things get really exciting, however, is when you become aware that you are creating your own reality.

At that point, you can decide what kind of reality you'd most prefer to experience.

And if you'd prefer to experience a prosperous reality, then putting affirmations to work to change your thoughts accordingly are a great place to start.

Getting back to your part to play, you simply continue doing what you've always done:

think
feel
decide
act

Except now, you consciously and deliberately choose what you think, feel, decide and act.

Meanwhile, the Law of Attraction, which has always been working through you and always will be, facilitates the manifestation of your selected reality.

Plant Your Mind's Garden

And since the Law of Sowing and Reaping says you get what you plant (or you get what you give), you have this law working on your behalf too.

So, with every prosperity affirmation you listen to or say, picture it as a seed being planted in the garden of your mind, which will produce wealth and provision.

In Part III, we'll explore the next question raised: "How do I give prosperously?"...

Prosperity Affirmations: Can I Become Prosperous Just Through Affirmations? Part I of IV

noreply@blogger.com (grantpasay) — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 20:36:00 +0000

Listening to or saying affirmations alone is not enough for you to become prosperous.

"But don't we manifest what we think?"

Yes, we do.

"So, then why isn't it enough to just think prosperously?"

Because we never just think something.

A more complete statement would be that we manifest what we think because what we think affects what we feel and decide and do, all of which combine to create the results we experience in life (i.e., what we manifest).

"So, you're saying it's NOT the Law of Attraction that makes us prosperous? It's all 'us' and what we do?"

No. I'm saying the Law of Attraction works through what we think, feel, decide and do.

The Law of Attraction's Friends

I'm also saying there are other laws that have gotten far less press lately. Some of these include the Law of Sowing and Reaping and the Law of Giving and Receiving.

Both of these laws basically explain that you get what you give.

If you give love, you get love. If you give hate, you get hate. If you give prosperously, you get prosperity.

"So, what does any of this have to do with affirmations?"

Well, giving (i.e., acting) prosperously requires that you decide to do so. And you won't decide to do so unless you feel you always have enough money. And you won't feel that way unless you think that way.

And affirmations are a great way to get you thinking that way.

Cosmic Cause and Effect

"So, affirmations work on changing my thinking, which sets things in motion toward new results?"

Yes.

"So, what's my part to play? How do I 'give prosperously'? And what do I give?"

Excellent questions, which are answered in Parts II, III and IV respectively...

Money Affirmations: How to Live in a Pool of Abundance

noreply@blogger.com (grantpasay) — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 19:12:00 +0000

When we talk about money flowing into or out of our lives, what do we really mean?

When you stop to think about money flowing into or out of your life, you realize there must be some sort of unspoken boundary that separates "your life" from everything else going on around you.

And once money flows beyond that boundary, it is officially out of your life. Which doesn't sound very positive. And so, a new thought emerges:

How can I get more money to flow into my life?

There is another way to think about the whole matter of money moving around, however. Best of all, thinking this way is far better suited to experiencing financial peace.

Trade the River for a Pool

"I am now living in an abundant pool of money."

Try saying that money affirmation to yourself every morning for a month or so.

And while you're letting that money affirmation go to work on your money thoughts, upgrade the mental picture you have of your life as well.

Instead of "your life" being a well-defined territory that money flows into and out of, picture yourself (i.e., "your life") as floating in the middle of an endless ocean...of money.

That's right. If your life consists of floating in the middle of an inexhaustible supply of money, then money doesn't flow into or out of your life. Instead, it just moves around...

There's No Escaping Money

First there's some money in your pocket. And then you trade it for a nice meal at your favorite restaurant. True, the money is now in the restaurant's pocket and not yours, but it's still in the ocean -- and that's exactly where you are.

In other words, picture yourself living a life where you're always surrounded by money at all times. You can never get away from it because there's nowhere you can go that money isn't.

Which could lead to another money affirmation:

"I am now existing where money exists."

And at any moment, you are capable of doing work or providing a service or value that will initiate some of that money floating into your pocket.

Heck, someone might even just float some of their money your way out of generosity (especially if you're in the habit of doing the same for others).

Is the Money River Bad?

No. Thinking of money flowing into and out of your life isn't bad. Or wrong. And if it's never caused you to feel worry or concern, then just forget about it.

On the other hand, if the thought of money flowing out of your life does cause you worry or concern, try trading in the money river for a money pool or money ocean for awhile by using the money affirmations mentioned above:

"I am now living in an abundant pool of money"

and

"I am now existing where money exists."

And once you feel a new level of peace and security regarding money and your life, then try returning to the picture of the money river to see if it too can serve you in certain circumstances.

Now get out there, use those money affirmations, and float in some money!

Money Affirmations: Why Are Affirmations Often Spoken in a "Dreamy" Voice?

"All these suggestions must be made in a monotonous and soothing voice (always emphasizing the essential words), which although it does not actually send the subject to sleep, at least makes him feel drowsy, and think of nothing in particular."

The above words were written by Emile Coue (1857-1926), a French physician who is considered by many to be the father of autosuggestion.

While most people today have never heard of Coue, many have heard his most famous affirmation: "Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better."

These were the types of affirmations Coue told his patients to repeat to themselves before going to bed each night.

And, as indicated in the above quote, he found that using a "monotonous and soothing voice" added to the effectiveness of the affirmations.

Coue's Goal: Autosuggestion
In essence, Coue was asking his patients to use these affirmations as guided and conscious "suggestions."

His goal was that the patients' unconscious minds would accept these suggestions as new instructions on how to proceed from that moment onward.

When the suggestions were accepted, the unconscious mind began working on those new instructions automatically, thus moving the patients from a state of "suggestion" to a state of "autosuggestion."

In other words, at some point, the patients no longer had to consciously say the affirmations to themselves since their unconscious minds had been "re-programmed" to conform with whichever affirmations were made.

If, however, the patients' unconscious minds did not accept the suggestions made through the affirmations, then no state of autosuggestion would occur.

Or, more precisely, the patients' unconscious minds would continue to act upon the old suggestions that had been accepted in their past; that is, their unconscious minds would continue to act upon their old autosuggestions.

Affirmations and the Laws of Suggestion
Coue wrote about this process, referring to the phenomenon as "The Laws of Suggestion."

He maintained that from the time of birth, we are all naturally exposed to different "suggestions," depending on the people and situations we grow up around.

Those suggestions that are accepted by the unconscious mind become autosuggestions, thus perpetuating that particular view of the world.

Coue pointed out that the process of suggestion and autosuggestion was a natural one that most people never became aware of.

For those who did become aware of it, however, it could be used to consciously and deliberately re-program the unconscious mind to automatically work in a way that better served the person's highest good.

There is much more to the story of Emile Coue, so watch for the subsequent articles that will be written on this man and his powerful findings in the realm of affirmations, suggestion and autosuggestion.
