I learned about affirmations during the time I was really broke. Affirmations are one of the primary ways that we can begin to control the shaping of our thoughts and attitudes in order to create change in our lives. When we affirm what we want, we make a strong, positive statement of something we wish to take place in our life.
I worked on those affirmations diligently. I wrote them down in a journal several times a day and said them to myself during meditations at night. I recently re-read some of those journals where I had written, "I now have a million dollars." "I am prosperous." "I am a magnet to money." I realize now why they didn't work at the time. I spent every other waking minute affirming quite the opposite through my inner dialogue.
You can't go from constantly worrying about this month's rent to a few moments of affirmations, and expect transformation. YOU MUST BEGIN TO CHANGE YOUR INNER DIALOG.
Every thought you think has an energy or vibration. If you want something a great deal (prosperity) and hold positive thoughts and feelings about it, you will attract it into your life. If you don't want something (poverty) and constantly feel fear and anxiety about it, you will attract it into your life. Whatever you put your focus on begins a process of manifestation. Think about something - positive or negative -- with enough strong intent and emotion, and you will have it in your life.
The interesting thing about holding strong beliefs about anything is that you'll see proof of your convictions everywhere. If your focus is on fear of losing money, you will find yourself drawn to the news reports about the poor economy, bankruptcies, layoffs and the downward spiral of the stock market. You will also be surrounded by people who hold a victim mentality who agree with you that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. "Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours," Richard Bach wrote in his book, "Illusions."
If, on the contrary, your focus is on easily creating abundance, you'll be drawn to the news that a particular sector of the economy is doing well, or that a local company is hiring more employees. Ideas will pop into your mind that will allow you to make more money. You'll also, more often than not, find yourself in the company of people who are successful financially and hold views that agree with yours.
So how do you begin to make this change from worry and anxiety to peace and faith? You must begin to focus on your heart's desire rather than on your worst fears. Does it happen overnight? Probably not. Can you begin today? Yes.
