Are you are having a hard time getting motivated to take action to do the things that you want, to take the necessary steps to get you where you want to be?

Do you find yourself wrestling with your negative thoughts and beliefs that only seem to bring in to your life more challenges?

Now, let me ask you, Would you like to change all that?

I am sure you said yes, so here’s how.

First step: You have to be aware of the words that you use. When you spot yourself saying something negative or limiting, STOP immediately. Say CANCEL, CANCEL.

That’s the first step. Simple.

Second step: Imagine or visualise a barrier around your body or mind, or perhaps an image of the thought bouncing against your head and flying off somewhere into space. The idea is to deflect the thought.

Third step: Think or say a positive thought that opposes the one you just deflected. This thought is a positive statement or an affirmation, but done precisely. Not your typical ineffective affirmation.

Effective affirmations are purposely chosen words and phrases that replace old, limiting thoughts and beliefs with new empowering ones. It is important to word your affirmations in an effective manner so they can bring about the changes that you are seeking.

For example: If you repeat this affirmation: “I am successful”, do you think it would be effective enough to make any real change? Hardly. You know that this statement is not true, and no matter how hard you work on that affirmation it will be rejected by your unconscious mind because it conflicts directly with the beliefs that you already have.

So how do you go around this?

Fourth step: The answer is very simple. You word your affirmations or statements in a way that will be more readily accepted by your unconscious mind; where there will be much less resistance.

So going back to the example above, it will be far more effective and believable to reword the affirmation to something like: “I have a passionate desire to succeed. Success is my one and only option.” I am sure you can tell this one sounds more accepting.

And the great news is that your mind can actually see the possibility of it happening, so your unconscious mind will not offer any resistance.

The question I sense you asking is how long will it take for changes to take place. I hate to say that there really is no set time. It really depends on how intense your opposing belief is.

If you have an intense negative belief around success, as in this example, it will take longer for the change to take place. The best suggestion I can offer is keep reciting effective affirmations over and over until you feel the change is taking place.

If you start saying the affirmations then stop along the way or have lost your enthusiasm and motivation to carry on, I suggest you click on the link below:

I am fuelled by the desire to be the best that I can be
I take daily actions to achieve my goals in life
My creative mind is the foundation to my success
I enjoy taking daily steps to turn my dreams into reality
It is natural for me to set and achieve my goals
I recognise and use my strengths and skills to reach all my goals
