Do Affirmations Change?
Monday, May 5th, 2008I had this question asked to me by an interesting client today. Yes of course. Affirmations do change as you keep using them. Your goal will remain the same. But the Affirmations being used must change and be adapted as per the situation demands. For example if you are shooting a target at a long range then the kind of focus is different than when you are shooting the same target at a closer range. The focal length varies and so does many other factors.
As you draw closer to your goal, your confidence levels would be much different than it was when you started your journey towards the goal. The kind of affirmations you started out with then, helped you move ahead and get this far. Now if you want to move further then you need affirmations which suit the situation where you have reached - the words, the temperament you say it, the feel it draws - and a whole load of other things vary. Hence, it is mandatory you make the necessary changes else you will get stuck easily. And the best thing is - you might never realize the reason why you are stuck. It will lead to a classic statement then - Affirmations don’t work!!! Wrong! Affirmations do work and if you ask me - Affirmations are the only things that keep things going. Since it happens naturally at a deep level, many people do not even realize that they are affirming their wants and demands. This is clear when you do achieve something, you tend to think “I knew this would happen all along!” Well that is an affirmation too.
I have been experimenting on this classy subject for quite sometime and while I do acknowledge that 8 years is too short a time to judge anything, I do know this: Affirmations work. It has worked very well and is working now - even now for me and to the multitude of clientèle I have worked with creating personalized affirmations.
