Affirmations for Change

It's time to get ready for 2008. That means cleaning up the clutter.... giving away or throwing out what isn't needed. What's left can now be seen...some things we've chosen to keep & so they are welcomed. However, the cleaning & clearing has left other things that are not so welcomed, but unfortunately we can not drop these off at Goodwill....bad habits, excess body fat & past resolutions that didn't survive.

Getting rid of clutter is much easier than dealing with what is left. Often times depression hits after the cleaning. Looking at what has to be accomplished, especially those with an or else tag, can make us want to run for cover. And, I'm no different from anyone else. After my cleaning & clearing I also found myself holding a few unpleasant or else tags.... & so this is no time for procrastination. Positive action is the only course. All negative emotions to the playground. Time to lighten up. Time to move.

I begin by utilizing the power of my own mind. It's well trained & ready for me.

My success is the result of my well-focused and pin-point directed energy. I actively gather in my resources. I actively marshal all my energy, while working to build more. I am single-minded and drive for the things I 've decided upon...

The above cluster of affirmations is perfect choice for for today. When I leave my office for the weekend & head out into my more unstructured time, I like my subconscious mind to mull over some powerful suggestions. A break in structured routine is the perfect medium for creativity. This is why we often get eureka or break-through ideas when on vacation.

While I'm out my usual work structure, my creative mind is available for organization & the reinforcement of my already planted goals. Weekends are perfect times for seeing & sensing the facets of my life more clearly. Since the above suggestions have already been planted, my subconscious mind can show me new order and opportunities.

I mentioned bundling affirmations in an earlier post. I do this quite often because they intensify & clarify my message to my subconscious mind librarian. In other words, this is what I want & this is what I need. Here I'm going to direct my subconscious mind & body physiology out of stress & disorder & into high level focus and energy.

As I design & record my CD's, mp3's & books, I like to plant active affirmations. Readers are often surprised as to how easy it is to change their mind programs in this way. It's much more like play than work.

PLANTING AN ACTIVE AFFIRMATION

We always begin by reading the affirmational cluster out loud or slowly to ourselves. There are at least five solid suggestions in the following cluster, so be sure to pay attention to all of them. This is not the time to speed read. Truly listen to what you are saying to yourself.

My success is the result of my well-focused and pin-point directed energy. I actively gather in my resources. I actively marshall all my energy, while working to build more. I am singe-minded and drive for the things I 've decided upon...

Relax deeply & perform the exercises to bring you into a light trance. If you have been practicing, you are finding it much easier to relax deeply, even if there are distractions around you. I always suggest that my clients or readers learn to work with distractions.

It's indeed possible to practice self-hypnosis while fully awake & even in the presence of others who might be talking to you. This is a common practice in sports hypnosis. In this instance the athlete might be performing his sport in competition, while at the same moment directing his subconscious mind towards what he wants, as if he has already achieved it.

When you are ready, locate your mind-screen. Place the following words there. My success is the result of my well-focused and pin-point directed energy. I'd like you to ask your subconscious mind to develop an image representing the first affirmation in the cluster. Now enter the image. Go right into the mind-screen and participate directly with the image. Take the words and put them in order on the side of the image. And when you are ready, step out of the mind-screen.

Breathe deeply & clear the mind screen. Place the following affirmation, I actively gather in my resources. Once again, ask your subconscious mind to deliver an image representing the gathering of your resources. Pay close attention to what is presented to you. If you have difficulty with visualization, simply listen to your ideas or thoughts. These are gifts from your own creative mind. If this process is difficult for you, just be patient. Relax deeply again. Your mind will not disappoint you. While you may not get the images or suggestions in this very moment, they will come.

Relax deeply and bring forth the mind screen. Notice that the first two parts of the affirmational bundle are present in the scene. Now, call forth your subconscious mind librarian and hand him/her the following suggestion, I actively marshall all my energy, while working to build more. Notice that new, active images are already in place, even before the words are out of your mouth. Enter the mind-screen, walk around and closely admire what you have already planted. Participate with what is presented to you.

Notice your librarian is asking you what you have in your pocket. Take this out. I am singe-minded and drive for the things I 've decided upon... You are now being lead over to the images representing this suggestion/desire. Allow desire to flow into your body, feeling a sense of gratitude for the power you have been given.
