The Power of Thoughts
Think about several events that occurred in your life, and try to remember
what kind of thoughts were in your mind, before they happened. You might
be surprised to discover that in many cases, there was a correlation
between your thoughts and the event.
You have probably said more than once, I was sure this was going to
happen.
Our predominant thoughts influence our behavior and attitude, and they,
in turn, affect our actions, our life, and the people around us. As our
thoughts are, so is our life.
This means that it is of great importance to be careful with our thoughts,

especially with thoughts that we often repeat. Thoughts are like a movie
that we play in our mind. What we play, is what we see with our inner eyes,
and if we keep playing the same movie, we will sooner or later create in our
life.
The thoughts that you repeatedly think shape your life.
In order to make changes in our life, we have to make changes in our

thinking process. It is necessary to change our thoughts. It is like playing a
new movie in our mind, which we like more.
The new mental movie will in time, change our behavior, actions and
attitude, and attract into our life people, situations and events
corresponding with our new thoughts.
However, you need to remember that one single thought is not strong
enough to make a change, but if you repeat the same thought often, it
would gradually gain strength and affect your life.
Mind Your Mind

5
A thought that is often repeated takes root in the subconscious mind, and
from there, it affects our life and even our environment. The great thing
about this process is that we don't need to strain or overexert ourselves to
make it work. All we have to do is to choose the thoughts that we want to
come true, and keep repeating them in our mind.
Suppose you are shy when you meet people, but you want to change this
situation. Forcing yourself to talk with people does not always work, and
might make you feel uncomfortable and behave awkwardly.
There is a better way to change your behavior, through the use of

visualization. Using this technique, you visualize yourself feeling confident
and talking fluently with people. This is similar daydreaming, which is an
easy and pleasurable activity that does not require effort.
With the help of this technique, you use the power of your thoughts.
Here is what you need to do:
Visualize yourself conversing fluently, with ease and confidence. Imagine

how the words just flow from your mouth, how you enjoy expressing
yourself, and how everyone pays close attention to every word you say.
When using this technique, you build in your mind a perfect scene of
whatever you want to accomplish. Put a lot of detail, color, sound, scents
and life into these mental scenes. Repeat them often, with faith and
attention, and your subconscious mind will assist you in aligning them with
your reality in a most natural way. Your subconscious mind will make any
necessary changes to make your reality fit your mental images.
In this way, you can overcome negative habits and build new ones, develop
new skills and abilities, and even change your circumstances and attain
whatever you truly desire. The power of thoughts can help you get a new
job, improve your relationships, earn more money or improve your life.
Mind Your Mind

6
These changes do not happen overnight. They need time, and depend on
how earnest you are in your efforts, and on how much time and focus you
put into your new way of thinking.
This is mental work, but this does not mean that you stay passive and wait
for things to happen. You need to keep an open mind and be willing to take
action when necessary.
Decide what you want to get or achieve, and start thinking about it often
during the day, or at several specific times during the day. These repeated
thoughts would get stronger, and eventually, create the conditions and
circumstances that correspond to your thoughts.
The power of thoughts is a real power. You have certainly used it many
times without realizing it. When you know how it works and how to use it
consciously, you gain the ability to transform, improve, and master your
life.
If you wish to learn how to use the power of your thoughts effectively, and
create the life you want, you will find the book Visualize and Achieve Your
Dreams most useful. You can read about it at:

Thoughts and Feelings Can Attract or Repel Success
Did you know that your thoughts and feelings can attract success, and that
they can repel it too?
Did you know that your thoughts and feelings shape your beliefs and
expectations about success or failure?
Lets make an experiment. Repeat aloud the word success several times,
and notice how you feel.
Depending on your mental and emotional makeup and on your lifes

experiences, there are two possibilities.
You might feel inspired, happy and elated, or despondent, unhappy and
bitter. In the latter case, you might start telling yourself how miserable you
are, and that success is not for you.
This may sound strange, but in certain cases, thoughts about success can
evoke negative feelings.
People who had negative thoughts and feelings most of their life, expect
failure and do not feel worthy of success. If they have experienced lack and
hardships, they believe that success is not for them. In these cases,
everything associated with success might evoke negative feelings.
Thoughts come and go, and change direction like the wind. They influence
your mind the same way that the wind affects the direction of a flag. One
moment the flag may be fluttering in one direction, and a little while later
in a different direction. One moment, your mind might be occupied with a
certain thought, and a moment later with something else. You see things
from a certain viewpoint, and a moment later, your point of view might
change.
Mind Your Mind

8
If you have no control of your mind and allow every thought to attract your
attention, you reach nowhere. However, when your thoughts and feelings
become steady and under your control, you will have more mastery over
your life. You become the boss of your life, not outside influences or
fleeting thoughts and feelings.
In order to control your thoughts and feelings and navigate your life, you
need to develop a certain degree of concentration, willpower and self-
discipline. Concentration, willpower and self-discipline are the steering
wheel of your life, with which you can navigate the boat of your life toward
success and achievement.
Your predominant, habitual thoughts and feelings determine whether you

will achieve success or not, and whether you will feel satisfied upon
achieving it. This means that you have to be more aware of your thoughts
and feelings.
It is important to learn to be more positive, less critical and less worried.

Then, when you achieve success, you can enjoy the happiness of
achievement.
You can change your thoughts, attitude and how you feel. However, the
change does not occur overnight. Some inner work is necessary.
Positive thoughts and feelings make you happier and more receptive to
success, and a positive disposition gives you the ability to enjoy success
when it arrives.
Take it as a challenge, and pay more attention to your thoughts and

feelings. Find out what kind of thoughts you think most often, and what
kind of feelings you usually have. If your thoughts and feelings are positive,
it is okay. However, if they revolve around failure, unhappiness and
dissatisfaction, then you need to do something about them. You need to
find ways and techniques that would help you change them.
Mind Your Mind

9
You, not external circumstances or other people should decide what
thoughts and feelings to think and feel. This is possible, but you need to do
something about it.
You need to strive be positive, to chase away negative thoughts, and always
replace them with positive thoughts. This is ongoing inner work, which you
need to do all the time. Gradually, your mindset would change and your life
would improve.

The Magnetic, Attracting Power of the Mind
The mind attracts certain events, circumstances and people into our life
and repels others. In this respect, it resembles a magnet.
Look at the people around you. Some pass through certain events and
circumstances, while others pass through different experiences. Some,
accomplish certain goals easily, and others accomplish them with great
difficulty or not at all.
All this has much to do with the mind.
Your mind is composed of the thoughts you think. These thoughts are like
magnetic currents. If you keep thinking about some event or action, it
might become a part of your life. This holds true when thinking about
things you want and about things that you do not want.
You attract into your life what you think about frequently, but it does not
mean that every thought you think changes your reality. Most of the
thoughts are either not repeated long enough to gain sufficient strength, or
you might let contradictory thoughts enter your mind.
Thoughts that lack strength and focus are like a weak magnet; they hardly
have any attractive power.
You most probably have seen how a magnet draws metal objects. A strong
and big magnet draws bigger objects than a small and weak one.
Magnets have another peculiar characteristic. One side of the magnet

draws, and the other side repels.
The magnet draws to itself everything made of iron, useful objects or just
junk. The mind acts in the same way. It attracts into your life positive and
negative situations and events, according to the thoughts that you think.
Mind Your Mind

11
Like the magnet, the mind not only attracts, but also repels. If you do not
believe you can get or accomplish something, then you repel it.
Thoughts of lack, doubts, and fears, create a repellent force, which pushes
away the things you want, and prevents you from getting them.
There are several ways to charge your mind and thoughts with magnetic
power. A strong desire, concentration and faith are a few of the important
ingredients for infusing power into thoughts.
We often activate the magnetic power of their mind unconsciously, without

knowing what we are doing. However, when we know the rules, we
become able to activate the magnetic power of the mind consciously,
positively and effectively.
When you think, you broadcast your thoughts around you, affecting the
minds of other people. Your thoughts also attract to you people, who think
along the same lines as you do, and who can therefore, help you with your
plans and goals.
Why not become aware of your thoughts, choose only useful and positive
thoughts, and take advantage the power of your thoughts?
Remember, you attract to you, whatever you think about intently, with
attention and feeling. It might be something material or non-material. The
power of attraction is a universal power and manifests everywhere and in
everything. It is the power, which holds the Universe together. Without it,
there would not be any world.
The techniques of creative visualization and affirmations make use of the

magnetic power of the mind. With their help, you can shape your life and
attract to you the things you want.
Learn how to use visualization and affirmations to attain success:

12
Desire, Emotions and Creative Visualization
You have probably heard or read about creative visualization. Maybe, you
have tried it. The idea is that by visualizing a mental image of a desired
object or situation, you can attract it into your life. In this way, you can
shape your life, behavior and circumstances.
To make this power work, you need to visualize your goal. You also need to
add a few ingredients to energize your thoughts, so they get strong enough
to create the changes you want. These ingredients are desire and feelings.
What makes you take action, a cold uninteresting thought, or one charged
with emotion?
When you listen to a lecture, which lecturer rivets your attention, someone
who talks in a boring, listless manner, or a lecturer who talks with zest and
emotion?
When you meet a total stranger for the first time, who leaves a stronger
impression on you, a cold, dull person, or one full of energy and
enthusiasm?
People, actions and thoughts charged with emotion make a stronger

impact.
Thoughts charged with emotional energy are the ones that affect you
more, and drive you into action. Emotions energize your thoughts and fill
them with power.
Emotions and feelings energize thoughts, the same way that electricity
makes electric instruments work. The best instrument will not function
without electricity. In order for a thought to act and manifest, it needs
something to give it life and energy. Feelings and emotions are that
something.
Mind Your Mind

13
If your desire is strong, then you can generate the necessary emotional
energy. However, sometimes, the emotional power you produce is not
enough to make things happen. In these cases, you need, in some way, to
strengthen your emotional energy.
It is possible to produce emotional energy when you need this power. It is

like connecting a television or a radio to a wall socket in order to let the
electricity flow. You do so by producing positive and happy feelings of
success and satisfaction, and associating them with your desire.
Everyone has experienced, at least a few times, some sort of success.

Remember and visualize any success you have achieved in the past. Even
small manifestations of success count.
In your mind, relive successful events, such as getting good grades at

school, receiving a compliment from someone whose opinion you value,
finding a good job or getting a promotion. You may choose any event from
the past.
Relive the event of success in your imagination, visualize it as clearly as

possible, and let the positive and happy feelings, which you experienced at
that time, become alive again.
When these feelings are aroused, it is time to think about your current goal.
Live and experience these feelings and emotions in your imagination, and
associate them with your present goal. This action will inject energy into
your thoughts and make them powerful.
When you charge your thoughts with emotional power, you transmit them
to the surrounding environment. Sometimes, other people perceive these
thoughts, and for some reason or another, they might help you bring them
into reality.
Thoughts awaken feelings and emotions, and vice versa. Our habitual
thoughts influence the way we feel, and our feelings and emotions
influence the way we think. There is always an interaction between
Mind Your Mind

14
thoughts, feelings and emotions. Learning to take advantage of their
combined can take you a long way toward achieving your goals.
If you wish to learn to use the power of your thoughts and energize the
feelings and emotions associated with them, start using the techniques in
the book Visualize and Achieve Your Dreams. For information about the

The Restless Mind
Most of our bodys functions are automatic activities, and as strangely as it

might seem, thinking is often, also an automatic activity.
Take for example, breathing. We constantly breathe, but we hardly pay

attention to this activity. The blood moves automatically through the veins,
but we are hardly aware of its movement. So it is with many other bodily
functions, and so it is with our thoughts.
A great number of thoughts pass through the mind every day. There is no
rest from them for a moment. Most of these thoughts are not exactly
invited; they just come, occupy the attention for a while, and then
disappear.
Our awareness is like the sky, and our thoughts are like clouds. The clouds
drift through the sky, hide it for a while, and then disappear. They are not
permanent. So are our thoughts. When one thought goes, another thought
takes its place. We always find ourselves thinking, never paying attention to
what lies beyond our thoughts.
Thoughts resemble the waves of the ocean, which are always in a state of
motion, never standing still. The mind, which attracts and produces
thoughts, finds it hard to stand still. It always thinks about whatever it sees,
hears or reads. It likes to compare, analyze, reason, and to ask questions. It
never stops or rests, even for a short while.
We automatically accept certain thoughts, but filter out and reject others.
This is the reason why some people occupy their mind with thoughts about
a certain subject, while others do not even think about this subject at all.
Everyone seems to possess a kind of an automatic mental filter, which
attracts certain thoughts and rejects others.
Why, football attracts a great number of people, others do not find it

interesting? Why, some love and admire a certain singer, and others don't?
Mind Your Mind

16
Why, some people think a lot about a certain subject, and others, never
give it a thought? It is all due to this inner filter.
This is an automatic and unconscious filter. This filter has been shaped
according to the influences that have affected you since childhood. Do you
consciously strive to think certain thoughts and drive away other thoughts?
No, most people dont. Thinking is usually an automatic activity.
Every event, occurrence, word and sense impression effects on the mind,
and produces thoughts accordingly.
The mind is like a thought factory, working day and night, producing
thoughts.
We live in an ocean of thoughts. We constantly pick one thought, let it pass

through our mind, and then pick up another one.
This process is like catching a fish from the ocean, and then throwing it into
the water and catching another one.
This constant thinking makes us spend a lot of energy and time thinking
about unimportant, and mostly negative passing thoughts.
Why do you let thoughts rule the mind, instead of being their master?
Why not enjoy inner peace, and choose only beneficial and desirable
thoughts?
Why let your thoughts treat you like a relentless boss that constantly gives
you an errand after errand to do?
You can set yourself free from the habit of constant and restless thinking.
You become truly free, when you learn choose your thoughts consciously,
and when you are able to decide which thoughts to accept, and which ones
to reject.
Mind Your Mind

17
Stopping the restless flow of thoughts might seem to be an infeasible fit,
but it is possible. With some training, you can learn to calm the restlessness
of the mind, become its boss, and enjoy inner peace and mental mastery.

Peace of Mind
Do you want to enjoy peace of mind in your everyday life? Do you want to
be able to stay calm and relaxed in difficult and trying situations? It is not so
difficult as it might seem.
I meet people who say that they desire peace of mind, but they never do
anything to get it. Often, they think and behave in a way that drives peace
of mind away.
In a world full of tension, conflict and competition, peace of mind is a great

asset.
A person, who possesses peace of mind, is able to remain calm, peaceful

and unaffected by outside events. This peace has nothing to do with
indifference or laziness. In fact, you can be peaceful, yet energetic,
enterprising and possessing a sharp and keen mind.
Meditation, concentration exercises, guided imagination, affirmations and

breathing exercises are a few of the techniques that lead to peace of mind.
Every one of these techniques will gradually make your mind more calm
and peaceful.
As you go on with your chosen technique, your level of inner peace will rise.
You will experience it not only while using one of the above-mentioned
techniques, but at other times too, while working, talking, studying,
walking, or while doing anything else.
You will discover that as by-product, you also gain inner happiness and
inner strength, discipline, better judgment and stronger mental powers.
When your mind is peaceful, it unconsciously radiates peace to the people

who happen to be around you. A peaceful mind has a calming effect on
other people, and surrounds you with an aura of peace.
Mind Your Mind

19
Calming down the mind, especially through meditation and concentration,
ultimately, leads to real and lasting peace and the ability to control the
mind.
With this kind of training, the mind will stop nagging and bothering you,
and your ability to control your thoughts would get stronger. You will then
be able to use your mind when you need it, and switch off your thoughts,
when there is no need to think.
When you can switch off your thoughts, your mind becomes peaceful,
happier, and more focused.
You might say that you dont have the time to work on gaining peace of
mind, but the truth is that you can always find the time, if you really desire
it. You might believe that one can gain peace of mind only under special
conditions and in special places. That is not true. Circumstances should not
bar your way. If your desire for peace of mind is strong enough, you can
attain it whether you live in an ashram or in a noisy city.
Peace of mind can be yours, if you make the effort to relax and calm down
your mind. If you have always believed that it is unattainable and reserved
for special people, then change your belief, because this belief will keep it
away from you.
Try this simple exercise to calm your mind:
1) Sit down comfortably.
2) Take a few deep breaths.
3) Relax every part of your body and every tensed muscle, starting from
your toes, and moving slowly to your head. Focus on each part for a few
seconds, and then move on to the next part.
Mind Your Mind

20
4) Now, think about something that inspires you or makes you happy.
Think of something you love doing, or about a happy event that you
went through in the past.
5) Enjoy the happiness and calmness that you are experiencing. Engross
yourself in the associated pleasant feelings, and forget everything else
for a while.
Repeat this procedure when you feel tense and nervous. This exercise will
clam your body and your mind.

peace, read the articles on peace of mind at the following address:

Inner Peace and Outer Peace
Inner peace comes from the inside, and is not dependent on outside
conditions. Inner peace is a state, in which the mind becomes calm and
tranquil, and thoughts are controlled and disciplined.
Ordinarily, the mind is in a state of constant thinking. Thoughts come and

go every second and minute of the day. Many of these thoughts are about
unimportant matters, or are negative thoughts, worries and fears.
The mind keeps asking questions, comparing, analyzing, commenting on

everything, chattering and not allowing any moment of rest.
This state of affairs is one of the reasons for the craving for inner peace.
Yet, though there is longing for peace of mind, most people continue to let
restless thoughts and worries fill their minds, thus keeping inner peace
away.
Inner peace appears, when the flow of thoughts subsides. Only when your
mind becomes tranquil you can enjoy inner peace. Only when you make
peace inside, within yourself, does real peace come into being in your
outside world.
When a storm is raging, the waves toss a boat up and down, from one wave
to another. Only when the storm and waves cease, can the boat sail
smoothly. It is the same with peace of mind. You experience it, only after
the winds and gales of the mind and thoughts calm down.
If the inner world is in peace, then the outer circumstances begin to reflect
this inner peace. Outer peace always follows inner peace.
A peaceful mind broadcasts peace and affects the surrounding

environment. When you meet a peaceful person, you sense this peace, and
unconsciously, respond and behave accordingly.
Mind Your Mind

22
What happens, if you talk calmly with someone who is angry, or who is
talking in a loud voice? Eventually, he will lower his voice.
What happens, if you keep calm and tranquil in situations that make other
people nervous or restless? You act efficiently and make fewer errors.
These are just a few examples of the effect inner peace has on the outside
world.
You can attain inner peace through concentration, meditation and a few
other techniques. The keys to inner peace are the ability to calm down the
mind, reduce its restlessness, and free it from the compulsion of constant
and restless thinking and worrying.
When you learn to calm down your mind and emotions, you can achieve
inner peace, and consequently, enjoy outer peace.
If you work toward inner peace, your life and circumstances will change to
reflect your inner peace.
Experiencing inner peace is not as rare as you might think. However, the
experience is temporary, if you have not trained yourself. You experience
inner peace spontaneously, when you are absorbed in an interesting
activity, like watching an interesting movie, reading a book or watching a
beautiful landscape.
During this time, you forget your thoughts and you forget your worries and
problems. However, this often lasts for a short time, until the mind
becomes restless again.
A good example of temporary inner peace is the inner peace you

experience when you are on vacation. After a day or two, you begin to
experience some kind of inner calmness and tranquility, the mind's
tendency to think constantly calms down, and the level of worries drops
down. In this state of mind, you feel more relaxed and happy and you enjoy
your vacation.
Mind Your Mind

23
By the way, have you noticed that people, who are on vacation, are usually
more patient, friendly and well disposed to everyone? This is because their
minds are more peaceful.
Temporary inner peace is fine, but not enough. In order to experience

peace more often and more deeply, and independently of outer conditions,
you need to learn to calm down your mind. It is possible to enjoy the same
peace and happiness that you have experienced on your vacations, even
while working, carrying your duties, at home or while with people.
If you really want to make your mind peaceful, you need to do something
about it. You can find many articles about inner peace at the following

The Power of Concentration
Concentration is the ability to focus the mind on one single object or

thought to the exclusion of everything else. It is the ability to hold the
attention focused on what you are doing.
Doing one thing, and at the same time thinking about something else,
shows lack of concentration. This often leads to making mistakes, wasting
time, and acting inefficiency.
Most people do not possess strong powers of concentration. They realize

the importance of concentration, but they do nothing to develop and
strengthen it.
Concentration is of great value in everyones life. It helps you do your work

more efficiently. It strengthens your memory, makes it easier and faster to
study, and makes you more conscious and aware of your surroundings.
With improved concentration, you carry out any action, task and work
better, faster and with fewer errors.
Concentration is important for creative visualization and affirmations, and

is of major importance for practicing meditation. It helps you to control the
incessant flow of your thoughts, and thereby, bring into your life peace of
mind and freedom from nagging thoughts.
As the ability to concentrate grows, fewer thoughts are able to intrude and
disturb your mind without permission. This means more mental mastery
and more inner peace and happiness.
You need good powers of concentration, if you wish to conduct your daily
affairs of life in an efficient and effective way, to succeed in the material
world, or to grow spiritually.
You can strengthen your concentration by practicing concentration

exercises, just like strengthening the physical muscles through bodybuilding
Mind Your Mind

25
exercises. When you lift weights, you strengthen the muscles of your body.
When you perform concentration exercises, you strengthen your mental
muscles.
Concentration requires sustained practice, like any other skill. The mind
might resist your efforts, since it does not like to be controlled. It is
accustomed to run here and there, and will therefore, resist your efforts to
control and calm it down. Yet, with the help of simple suitable exercises, it
is possible to train the mind and teach it to focus.
The more time you devote to training and exercising your mind, and the
more sincerely you practice the exercises, the stronger your concentration
would become.

Developing Your Willpower and Self Discipline
People, who have achieved great success, usually had strong willpower and
self-discipline. People, who have improved their life, overcome difficulties
and hardships, or have attained a high position in their chosen field, had to
use their willpower and self-discipline.
Willpower and self-discipline are two of the most important and useful
inner powers in everyones life. These two skills are essential tools for
success in all areas of life.
Everyone can develop these skills, like any other skill, through special
training. However, only few take any steps to develop these skills in a
systematic way.
What is willpower?
Willpower is the inner strength that makes it possible to make a decision
and follow it through, take action, and carry out any task until its
completion, despite inner and outer resistance, discomfort or difficulties.
Willpower gives you the ability to overcome laziness, temptations and

negative habits, and to carry out tasks, even if they are unpleasant, tedious,
and require effort.
What is self-discipline?
It is the ability to reject instant gratification, in order to gain something
better. It manifests as perseverance and the ability to stick to actions,
thoughts and behavior, despite obstacles or difficulties.
Both of willpower and self-discipline are essential for making decisions and
following them through. They are essential for carrying out daily activities,
and for attaining success. You need them for doing a good job, for studying,
building a business, losing weight, bodybuilding and for maintaining good
relationships. They are also important for changing habits, for self-
Mind Your Mind

27
improvement, meditation, spiritual growth, keeping promises, and for
almost everything else.
We all face an endless stream of desires and distractions, many of which

are not important, useful, or of any real value. By learning to refuse to
satisfy every one of them, we get stronger.
Refusing to satisfy useless, harmful or unnecessary desires, or doing things

you do not want to do, because they require effort, sharpen and strengthen
your inner strength. By constant practice, your inner power grows, in the
same way that exercising your muscles at a gym increases your physical
strength.

The Power of Repeated Words and Thoughts
Thinking is usually a mixture of words, sentences, mental images and

sensations. Thoughts are visitors, who visit the central station of the mind.
They come, stay a while, and then disappear, making space for other
thoughts. Some of these thoughts stay longer, gain power, and affect the
life of the person thinking them.
Most people allow thoughts connected with worries, fears, anger or

unhappiness to occupy their mind most of the time. They keep engaging
their minds with inner conversation about negative situations and actions.
This inner conversation affects the subconscious mind, which accepts and
takes seriously the thoughts and ideas expressed in those inner
conversations.
It is of vital importance to be careful of what goes into the subconscious

mind. Words and thoughts that you repeat often, get stronger by the
repetitions, sink into the subconscious mind, and affect your behavior,
actions and reactions.
The subconscious mind regards the words and thoughts that affect it as
describing a real situation. It therefore, endeavors to align the words and
thoughts with reality, by working toward making them come true.
This means that if you tell yourself often, that it is difficult or impossible to
acquire money, the subconscious mind will accept your words and put
obstacles in your way. On the other hand, if you keep telling yourself that
you are rich, it will find ways to bring you opportunities to get rich, and
push you toward taking advantage of these opportunities.
The thoughts that you express through your words shape your life. Most
people do not pay special attention to their thoughts and to the words they
use. Often, they allow external conditions and other people to determine
the thoughts they think. They let the outside world affects their inner
world. They let the outside world determine the thoughts they think.

If you consciously, choose the thoughts, phrases and words that you repeat
in your mind, your life will start to change. You will begin creating new
situations and circumstances. You will be using the power of affirmations.
Affirmations are sentences that state a particular desire or goal. By

repeating them often, they sink into the subconscious mind, which in turn,
releases its enormous power to help you achieve your goal. This does not
mean that every word you utter will bring results. There must be also
strong desire to back the affirmations, so they create results.
To trigger the subconscious mind into action and get positive results, you
need to repeat the affirmations with attention and intent, and with the
belief that they would come true.
Read the following two sentences:
1. I am not weak anymore.

2. I am strong and powerful.
Both sentences express the same idea, but in different ways. The first one is
a negative sentence. It creates in the mind a mental image of weakness.
The second sentence awakens in the mind a mental image of strength. This
means that you need to use positive words, about what you want, not
negative words.
Sometimes, when repeating affirmations, the results might be fast. At other

times, depending on your goal, results might take time to appear. In this
case, you need to persevere with repeating the affirmations.
Remember, it is not enough to repeat affirmations a few times and expect

your life to change. You need to repeat them often, every day.
It is important to choose the right affirmation for the specific situation. You
also need to feel comfortable with the words you repeat, so as not to
awaken inner resistance.

Affirmations are of special importance for people who find it difficult to
visualize, since they can use them, instead of using creative visualization.
Instead of repeating negative and useless words and phrases in the mind,
choose positive words and phrases to help you build the life you want. By
choosing your thoughts and words, you exercise control over your life.
Here are a few affirmations:
Day by day, I am becoming happier and more satisfied.
With every inhalation, I am filling myself with happiness.
Love is now filling my life.
The power of the Cosmos is filling my life with love.
My relationships with are improving.
I have now a wonderful job, which pays me well.
A lot of money is flowing now into my life.
The powerful and vital energy of the Cosmos is filling my body and mind.
Healing energy is constantly filling every cell of my body.
I always stay calm and in control of myself, in every situation and in all
circumstances.
I am having a wonderful, happy and fascinating day.
