So you have your affirmation written out. It’s maybe even typed up and printed, and stuck on your bathroom mirror, in your wallet, in your diary, on your pc and inside your cupboard door. You spent a few days saying it over and over to yourself, and eventually you notice that the words on the paper have blurred and become part of the backdrop of what ever else you are focusing on. You’re left with the feeling that affirmations don’t work. |
|
| Well I agree-some affirmations don’t work. Well Formed Affirmations do work. Just having a positive statement that you read often is not enough to change the way you think and impact the results you get in life. A Well Formed Affirmation though, has the power to transform your life in all the ways that those who promote the use of affirmations say it will. | |
|
There are a few key things to keep in mind to make sure the time and energy you put into affirmations is both beneficial and well worth the effort: |
|
One of the first things to remember is that the affirmation should be believable to your conscious mind. Yes, the point of an affirmation is to help change the programming of your mind, both conscious and subconscious. Yet, if you don’t believe that what you are affirming is a possibility for you, your subconscious mind (and possibly even your conscious awareness) will be saying “Yeah right, what a joke!” back at you as you consciously recite the affirmation. That doesn’t help the process, and often leads to us stopping using the affirmation. |
|
| For example,
if you were to affirm “I am wealthy” when you are experiencing
a bout of anything but wealth in your life, the affirmation will
seem to jar you on some level. If you affirm rather: “I am
taking high priority and focused steps towards being wealthy”
you overcome the dis-belief and the statement becomes far more powerful. |
|
|
Another point to remember about affirmations is that they should be about a Truth- a universal law or fact that you know to be true. This makes the statement live-able. A mis-conception about affirmations is that they have to be positive statements. This is not the case- they should rather be ... CLICK HERE FOR FULL ARTICLE |

| 2. Communication Excellence Seminar | |
| Affirmations are an aspect of how we communicate with ourselves. What are we choosing to say to ourselves, and how does this self-talk and the relationship we have with ourselves influence our communication skills? In the Communication Excellence course in October we will be looking at these issues, as well as the structure of communication and how people process information. This understanding improves our ability to communicate and get results from our communications. For more information on this training and the many tools, techniques and understanding of communication skills that you will learn about, click here Or by contacting |

The Personal Expression |

I’ve just been to Durban for a whirlwind visit for my cousin’s Wedding- and what a beautiful wedding it was! I got to squeeze in a lovely swim in the sea and a bit of rollerblading along the beachfront too, which you just got to do if you go to Durbs! ;) The last month has been one of integration for me on many levels, as I’ve evolved more from the coaching I received and from the muscle-memory and energy medicine modalities that I’ve been using. I also attended Dr Demartini’s Breakthrough experience, and found it to be a phenomenal 2 days! I’ve been feeling like I’ve hit a bit of a brick wall with the matchstick trading! It’s interesting – to me at least- to realise how definite in value an amount of cash is. When I was trading items, the perceived value was so different for different people. However with cash, the line is drawn in concrete – not sand – so is making for trading up in value quite a challenge. If anyone has any ideas on how to move from where I am, please pop me a note! I haven’t given up though as I like a challenge! Big smiles, |
