What are the law of attraction affirmations? An affirmation is something you say to yourself; usually if you truly believe it. Many affirmations people tell themselves are based on an old story though. “I’m always broke”, “I’m not good enough”, “nothing ever good happens to me” are all affirmations. These kinds of affirmations keep you stuck and struggling in life. They perpetuate because of the energy you keep giving them.
The payoff? Well it gives you an identity – a self image which you can cling to, and this gives you some safety in an uncertain world. But the downside is you get stuck in this “reality”. You keep repeating behaviour which is aligned with your affirmations and beliefs about what is “true”. The more you do this, the more you identify with this person you have created. An on it goes.
Law Of Attraction – What You Say To Yourself
You might be saying, “hang on a minute”, “I didn’t ask for all these problems”! “My life IS a struggle”. Life can be a struggle or a challenge, or a joy! It all relates back to how you perceive it. If you give a lot of emotional energy to struggle and pain, you’ll create more of it. Whatever you focus on expands.
To change your current affirmations to ones which are more supportive and positive, you can start by noticing how you react already (in your head). Pay attention to your current affirmations (whether they are negative or positive). Notice how you react under pressure, or in difficult circumstances. Everyone at sometime or another reacts negatively to some circumstances. Just start being aware of when this happens for you and notice what you say to yourself.
Replacing Affirmations
After paying attention to your self-talk for some time, you’ll probably notice a pattern. If you want to learn more about how to do this checkout my article on deliberate creation exercises. When you start seeing your patterns and affirmations which you say a lot, it’s a good idea to write them down. They could be anything, but for me I found a number of negative affirmations such as:
- Why can’t it be easier?
- How come is everything so hard?
- Why can’t I?
- It’s a struggle
- Life’s always a struggle
- I’m tired and fed up
- etc.
Sometimes of course life can be a struggle! But it gets easier if you don’t buy into the belief that it’s a struggle and keep repeating the affirmation to yourself! Once you’ve identified some self limiting beliefs like these try writing out some of their opposite statements:
- Things always work out perfectly for me
- Money comes easily and effortlessly
- I enjoy what I do
- I get paid for being “me”
- Abundance comes to me naturally
- My life works out with the perfect timing
Here’s a great affirmation which I recommend:
“I’m so happy and grateful now, money comes to me, in increasing amounts through multiple sources on a continuous basis”. Checkout mantra for getting money urgently for more on this.
Thoughts Become Things
The law of attraction brings about what you focus on over a long period of time. If you constantly tell yourself that you’re worthless and no good, you’ll instruct your subconscious mind to behave accordingly. It will search for ways to bring about your reality and make it so! So it’s really important to change some of your mental conversations that you have with yourself. It’s particularly important to change how you see yourself if you want to improve your life in any given area.
If you see yourself as a failure, who has no hope, it’s going to be difficult to create an amazing life which you love. It’s more likely you’ll create the physical manifestation which is aligned with what you believe about yourself deep down in your mind and body. Doing half an hour of “positivity” a week won’t count for much if for the rest of your life you’re busy putting yourself down with negative self-talk!
Self talk is so important if you want the law of attraction to bring about change in your life.
Law Of Attraction – Affirmations
Using law of attraction affirmations to bring about change in your life does work. But you need to become aware of your current affirmations which are already working – potentially against your best intentions. Negative affirmations have most likely been working in your life already for years. When you notice yourself talking yourself down, or saying something negative about yourself, pay attention. These are the thoughts you should route out because they work against your positive affirmations.
Your affirmations are telling your subconscious mind what to do. Your subconscious mind is wise and is listening to everything you say. So give it the instructions you want to bring about in life with care and consideration.
Law Of Attraction -Self Care
If you are unsure of what to use as an affirmation, start with self care. Loving yourself will always bring about better results in your life than self sabotage or self loathing!
I love myself, I approve of myself, I accept myself.
Although these sound simple, most people go around giving themselves an opposite message. “How come I always mess up?..”, “Why am I so stupid?”, “Why can’t I” etc.
These kind of messages are affirming something negative about yourself, and asking for an answer. Your subconscious mind will go about looking for answers, which only brings up more negative feelings, emotions and circumstances. It deepens the feelings of inferiority and insecurity. If you’re going to ask yourself questions, ask them in a positive way:
“How come I’m so awesome?”. “How did I get so lucky?” Why does everything work out so perfectly for me?” etc.
These kinds of questions assume a better outcome and ask for more evidence that it is so!
To learn more about law of attraction affirmations, I recommend a great book called How To Get Lots Of Money For Anything Fast. In it, Stuart Lichtman explains what he calls the cybernetic transposition technique. Using affirmations and a story from your past, you can create a new outcome which you want to bring about. Through repetition and constant re-affirming, you offer up suggestions to your subconscious mind, which finds the quickest method to bring about your desired outcome.
