Top 6 Ways to Send your Positive Affirmations into Overdrive

You may be playing around with the idea of using positive affirmations. Are you still wondering if they work? Well, rest assure whether its changing the stars of the universe or simply your mindset, THEY WORK! This is how you can get started right now with the top 6 ways to use positive affirmations:

To implement positive affirmations into your life you first need to come up with a few affirmations. They would begin with "I am", "I will", "I can", or "I do". For instance, "I can be a better person", "I am smart" and so on.

The trick is to do this on a regular basis. You should repeat your affirmations repeatedly everyday. This will help your subconscious start to believe these statements. This is how the positive affirmations are going to ultimately change your life.

So how can you put this into overdrive and really get this energy working for you? Here are the top 6 ways to charge your affirmations NOW.

1. Put Them In Writing

Write them on cards and read them to yourself several times a day. Take a few minutes out of your schedule, find a quiet place, relax and read the statements to yourself over and over and over. This helps the subconscious to begin to accept the statements as facts and start to apply them.

2. Look at Yourself

Look at yourself in a mirror while you say your affirmations. Looking into your own eyes only helps the subconscious pick up your affirmations as the truth a little faster.

3. Put Them Everywhere

Write the affirmations down on sticky notes and put them in places where you will notice them during your day. Doing this serves as a reminder of your commitment to yourself and reinforces the resolve to make the change desired.

4. Be Repetitive

Take a few minutes during the day to simply write them down over and over. This is sort of like when you were in school and had to write sentences for misbehaving. You learned NOT to do that again, didn't you? Of course, you don't have to write them 500 or 1000 times, but you get the idea. Maybe 25 or 50 times a day is sufficient.

5. Hear Them

When you say them out loud, say them with meaning and force. Use a firm voice that means business and your subconscious will listen up.

6. Change It Up

Change things up a little by singing them or chanting them. This adds a whole new dimension to the affirmation. Musical stimulation has been shown in scientific studies to have profound effects on people at the subconscious level, so take advantage of it. You don't have to sing well, just sing.

You have the power to change anything about yourself that you think needs changing. All you need to do is program the subconscious mind to believe it and take it as fact.

Your brain is like a computer. Computers need software to run. Sometimes you need to reprogram the software to achieve the desired effect.

The same ideology applies here. Change your thinking and change your life. All with the power of your own mind./articlesbase

Manage Spare Time to Achieve Ultimate Success

Power of Audios

Productivity and time
Dan Kennedy
Using your call as a classroom

I'm reading
a book by Dan Kennedy right now called "No B.S. Time Management For Entrepreneurs The Ultimate No Holds Barred, Kick Butt, Take No Prisoners Guide To Time Productivity & Sanity"

The title is really long, but the book is quite good. It takes you into the world of Dan Kennedy, master marketer and teachers of Millionaires.

One of the things Dan Kennedy talks about was using 'non-productive' time, productively. He suggests you use time search as waiting in traffic, going on car rides, stuck in line etc. as learning time.

This of course means listening to Audio CD's or Mp3's with an Ipod or MP3 Player.

He goes on to say that the top masters and successful people he encountered all have been a student of Audio learning programs.

I myself highly recommend Audio learning programs. I remember back in the day when I was still commuting to work, I would have Anthony Robbins with me on those car rides.

I must of listened to Anthony Robbins audio programs, including, "Lessons in Mastery", "Live With Passion", "Get The Edge" and "Personal Power II" over and over again.

When I worked the night shift at a plastics factory, for 8 hour shifts, I had Anthony Robbins in my ear the whole time.

I could go through one of those audio series in one night.

If you commute to work, you'd be surprised how quickly you can get through these 6-7 CD sets. In one week, or two, you could finish an Audio Program.

Imagine reading 1 book a week, or in 2 weeks about a subject you want to learn more about. Without taking up any extra time or with barely any effort.

If you simply use your commute time for learning, you will be in great shape. What is a skill you want to learn?

You want to learn a new language? Want to fix your personal finance? Want to improve your business?

Repetition is the master of skill. You can listen to the same CD's over and over again until the lessons are ingrained in you.

Simply switching what you are listening to while you are commuting, in your car or in your spare time and you could change your life./articlesbase

Mastering Your Mind Power

The tools needed for mastering your mind power, the power you need to live more of the life you desire, are already readily available in your own mind. The challenge for you is to use these tools to take possession of your mind power and direct it to the ends of your choice.

Your mind is always busy, bringing you what you want and bringing you what you do not want. It brings you poverty and misery or it brings you wealth and happiness. It is never idle. Whether it brings you poverty and misery or wealth and happiness depends on the consistent thoughts you present to it. Accurate thought is a major factor that determines whether your mind delivers more of what you desire or more of what you do not want.

As you are aware, your mind thinks at incredible speeds, moving thousands of thoughts, ideas, and images across the screen of your mind. At one moment you may be focusing on the road ahead of you as you drive to work. In an instant, you are thinking of a very important task at work that has to be completed. In another instant, you are thinking about applying for that job that a friend of yours told you about at her company.

Accurate thinking may not sound like a characteristic that is very important to cultivate on your journey toward mastering your mind power. For me, however, the opposite is true. It so important, in fact, that Napoleon Hill devoted an entire chapter to it in his book, Laws of Success. Accurate thought can be so very helpful to you for choosing meaningful thoughts, ideas, and images to become residents in your mind rather meaningless ones.

There are a few relatively simple steps you can take to aid you in developing the habit of accurate thought. First of all, it is imperative that you have what Napoleon Hill calls a definite major purpose; a goal, as most other self help authors call it; or an intention, as most Law of Attraction authors call it.

Whatever you call it, there must be something that you deeply desire to have, to be, or to do. Second, if you have not already done so, you must develop the ability to separate facts from mere information. Third, you must also develop the ability to separate significant facts from insignificant facts.

All facts which you can use in the attainment of your desires are important and significant facts. All facts that you cannot use are unimportant and therefore insignificant, and mere information is worthless. Information may be entertaining, diversionary, and fodder for gossip but is of no value for mastering your mind power and obtaining your desires.

By forming the habit of directing your attention to significant facts on which you build your road to your desires, you all but ensure your success. This I know for sure. You can claim or re-claim control of your own mind power. You are the most miraculous of all living beings on earth. You are the owner of a mind that is so stupendous, that as you truly begin mastering your mind power and consciously using it, there is no dream that you can dream that you cannot achieve./articlesbase
