Affirmations, What Do They Do?

Affirmations should be felt not spoken. Too often we are focussed on words. We place our hopes in the words we utter over and over and then we wonder why our affirmations don’t work. It’s because we are feeling a lack of something. We are only affirming our deepest fears and only serving to increase our desires to create an even greater hole within ourselves. It isn’t until we actually feel gratitude for what we have in our life that we will be able to grow further. Your affirmations are programming your subconscious on one level to seek out your desires to bring them to your attention wherever you see them (by way of the reticular activation system) and on a quantum level are moving the universe to reorder creation into that which you emote. But if you are emoting and feeling a distinct lack of something in your life, your affirmations will only serve to strengthen the lack further. You must ask the universe once, but ask properly. Ask in a manner which makes you excited and then move on to all of the other things that you should be rightly grateful for in your life. This is a state of abundance and is far more desirable. It means you will be happy in the now and will be ready for greater things. When you are ready, it will come, and it will come effortlessly.
