If you have watched or read The Secret you know our minds are powerful beyond measure. The entire theme of this book is that what we visualize with laser intention we create in our life. If we visualize an empty parking spot in the front row of the mall, our mind will make it so. If we visualize something we want so deeply our mind, the mind will make it happen.

Now, you may completely believe in the power of The Secret or you may hold out reservation about the power of our mind. I have personally visualized things with such intent that they did actually come about. Sometimes I used laser focus for things I wanted and received nothing. Maybe this was a clear message that the thing I wished for was not in my cards.

Whatever you believe is fine. I am not here to convince you otherwise. I can only speak from my belief system. It is my testimony that training the subconscious mind to seek something can work. Small nuggets of positively charged messages can have a profound affect on our lives. As well, negatively charged nuggets can have the same affect. What we put in is what we get out.

To alter my thoughts in a positive way I use affirmations. These are messages written in present tense that allow our mind to see what it is we want as if it has already happened. The key to these affirmations is repetition. You need to be committed to reading and visualizing several times through out your day. In a sense you are reprogramming your mind to believe the message you are feeding it in these affirmations.

I have worked with some network marketers in the Send Out Card business and they use the “I am…” statements. What ever you use keep it positive, present tense, and empowering to your subconscious mind.

“I am now earning extra cash with my online business.”
“I am now smiling every morning because I am at my ideal weight.”
“I am now a top earner in my program.”

You can simply get some index cards and write these affirmations out on the card if you like, or make up your own. I also use VisionBoards.com to display my affirmations. The VisionBoard.com website displays affirmations in words set to music and inspirational pictures. Their system is awesome and I recommend it with enthusiasm. Because most are visuals, applying the the power of your affirmations along with pictures and music supercharges the effect. For me this method has been extremely powerful.

Affirmations are exactly what The Secret describes through out their movie and book. The power is not necessarily in the words. The power is in the message you send to your subconscious mind. Try sending it with pictures.

Write out three affirmations of things you intend to have, be, or do. Use the “I am” method. Make the commitment to read these cards at least three times per day. At each sitting do this, read the words, close your eyes and say the words, and finally invest a few minutes visualizing your life as if these small commands (affirmations) had already happened. How do you feel? Did you smile?

The power of change is in our own minds. We can choose to accept that we are capable of anything without limits or we can choose to be a non-believer. No matter what you choose, you will get just that outcome. I implore you to accept your unique ability and reward yourself with a life you were meant to live. Allow the power of affirmations change your life.
