havent seen any affirmation threads put up for a while.so i thought id throw a few questions in and see if any one would like to share there experiences.
what started you using affirmations.
how do you fit your affirmations into your life style.
are you able to really connect with your affirmations,when do you feel them most strongly.
do you use other aids/methods along side your affirmations.
how have your affirmations manifested results in your life.
blessings mara.
I was just writing a process affirmation as you were writing this thread(:
From various things I’ve learned along the way…with reframing, prayer, blue mirror from Silva, formal & informal learning/experience…etc I do well with a variety of forms of affirmations… I make a routine out of good self-talk…but my method varies according to ‘my moment’.
I enjoy ‘process’ affirmations. They are prayerful intentions. I also like short …to the point affirmations which prompt. I love words and pictures which resonate…my vision board and journal represent that. I love the use of bold fladshcard-affirmations on my bulletin boards surrounding upcoming projects/goals/tasks. I also enjoy meditations/and affirmations…with affirming statements; ones I make and ones I’ve enjoyed that I’ve found….with music backgrounds and without. I use my hand held tape recorder a lot…to hear where I am…in my voice/words and where I want to go.
I have found process affirmations and blue mirror manifest in my life quickly…blue mirror at once.
Self talk with me is always done with love and passion. I am so glad I can locate/have that inner voice… that tapping into my Higher Self ….loving kind enthusiasm, a point of compassion and trust…Thank you God…for helping me tap into Your Love today. Amen.

Something else that crossed my mind….is Hal Reader
. Yes, there are better ways to listen to your affirmations….Though, I’d like to tell you why this is a tool of mine also.
Just as one might exercise less on a day they have to go to their workplace…versus the days they have a bigger chunk of time….If you have your computer on…Hal Reader in the voice…of your choosing…will read back anything you select. You can select a page of phenomenal affirmations someone else just wrote….your own….or an uplifting piece you want to LISTEN to.
It is a fact, time is a unique element. Some days we make it our friend, and other days we ask ourselves what did we choose to make time be less compatible with our walk. To keep it simple, grab something that works…while all of your routines are improving. And I love audio…my own, and those who speak what I need to hear(:
There is also natural reader
hi selfcare.what is blue mirror.not come across that.blessings mara.
I posted in a couple of places… just found them
i have only ever used the same six affirmations that are on my profile.due to my living circumstances a few years ago i did start recording my affirmations on to audio tape,i just changed the words i am to you are.i enjoyed great success with these.i do prefere chanting my affirmations though.i must repeat them hundreds of times a day.i do it now without even thinking about it.i also put aside a couple of 20 minute sessions.when i lock my self away.i get really worked up during these sessions clapping my hands .punching the air while chanting with as much emotion as i can.i can really work myself up into a frenzy.i know it seems silly but it real fires up my affirmations,the power you can build up is immense.the wonderful things about affirmations though is there are so many different ways we can succeed with them.try different ways til we find what works best for us.
In response to mara’s post:
Thanks for sharing your powerful ways of affirming!!!(: Just sharing what I do…and reading your post reinforced a ‘something extra’ in my way spirit. /It is my hope members will share (a bit) of what they currently do…and alot of their rationale. /So true…with different people…different times in our lives…we will all have different modes that give us what we request(: Thanks for this thread…it was very helpful to me TODAY (:
when i first started affirmations i had never read a book on the subject.i just had a feeling that saying positive things to my self coulkd make my life better.it was many years later that i actually got around to reading any thing on the subject.there are now so many resources on affirmations avaliable and its good to learn from others wisdom.but affirmations shouldnt be about strict rules and regulations.it should be about life experience learning as we go.finding out what works best for us.so what have you learnt.what has experience taught you.please share.because your ideas could help change some ones life,sharing really is good for the soul.blessings mara.
Fulfillment by Neville Goddard
I tell you that imagination creates reality and I ask you to imagine a state, any state, which would imply the fulfillment of your desire.
It doesn’t really matter what anyone else thinks; it’s what you think that matters to you!
If you create a scene which implies the fulfillment of your desire and dwell in it until you have an inner conviction that it is real, what does it matter what another thinks?

I gravitated to learning about semantics/wording/affirmations when I had learned self-hypnosis in the 70’s from reputable ethical institute/mentors. Special time in my life….
Another ongoing lesson …from speaking well to myself, is not to sweat the small stuff, and so much is. Prayerful affirmations…help me stay focused on my daily intent, and remind myself that my life/our lives is Powered by something so Magnificent, that fear/confusion are byproducts of forgetting… the Good.
I love to hear what others do that help them…......it reinforces our desire to use what works…with even more enthusiasm. It also creates the desire to read more about other techniques…and help one another. It creates more connectedness among us all…about things that truly matter for living well.I am grateful to be in the midst of others who are creating their best lives…and truly care/desire in “moving forward”. (:
