Lots of people put great effort into telling others what a rotten memory they have. And what is their memory like? Rotten! We get what we expect, and out words affect our performance. With regard to our memory, researchers now tell us that we never really forget anything. The information is all in our head. The problem is the recall. This explains why you can "forget" somebody's name and remember it the next day. The name did not vacate your head and pop back into it twenty-four hours later. It was there all the time but you could not "recall" it initially. Our words affect out subconscious and our memory is closely linked without subconscious. If you consistently give your subconscious a program that says "I remember things" then you will find that your recall will dramatically improve. You will subconsciously expect to remember the names and the numbers and you will do so more and more.
An affirmation is a positive thought that you repeat to yourself. Using affirmations allows you to select quality thoughts and implant them into your subconscious so that you can feel better and perform better. Lets assume that you are out driving on the highway and you have a splitting headache. Here is your opportunity to combine the power of words with the power of thought. You begin to repeat to yourself, "my head feels wonderful!" or my head is relaxed and the pain is gone.
As you begin to tell yourself this, no doubt a little voice in the background will be say "you're lying, you feel horrible". However, if you continue with the positive affirmations, the thought that you are feeling well will become aware in your subconscious. You will indeed start to feel better and a half an hour later, chances are the thought will cross your mind, "I had a headache, a while back, but it is gone now. Was that the affirmations, or is that a coincidence? (I don't believe there are any coincidences... everything happens for a reason)
You can use affirmations to get results in many ways. "People always treat me with love and respect. I treat all people with love and respect."
I feel better everyday, I feel healthy, I feel good and I feel prosperous. Affirmations will not mean that you don't have to put forth any effort. They do mean that you have a short cut to conditioning your mind for whatever you want. If you choose to make them a regular part of your life, you will find they are a very simple, yet powerful tool.
