Affirmation Momentum

There’s one thing I learned about affirmations that I did not always fully connect with. I always thought affirmations were, you know, things you memorize that you say to yourself over and over to speak positively to yourself.
Don’t get me wrong, having positive thoughts are far greater than having negative thoughts all the time. So yes, that is a, I guess I would say, tier one of affirmations. But how do you get affirmations to really work?

  What I now know is that those affirmations, those words that you're saying have to shift something in you. I call it affirmation momentum. Your affirmations have to do something to rev that momentum up, to make you feel the words that you're saying. That's when affirmations are working. Because if you simply saying the same thing all the time, I am this. I am that. I am this, I am that as you drive down the street or go about your day, or you’re just going about life, just kind of saying your “I am” statements and it's not changing the energy, it's not shifting the vibration in you, guess what? It's not doing anything. It's just like you saying, blah, blah, blah blah blah. It’s never gonna shift, it's not changing the momentum.

  Now that I'm aware my affirmations have to move something inside me, I have to feel that vibrational shift. I have to feel that energy shift and things happen even faster for me. Now I have a better understanding of the power of affirmations. So, I just want to share that with you guys because I didn't always get that although the positive self-talk is amazing. Once you allow the words to really rev something up inside of you. It'll be amazing.

  Let me say this though, with that affirmation momentum, you also have to be consistent in your thought pattern because you could be saying all these positive amazing things. Like, I have a very successful company and my company does all these things. But then, for me in my example. I was talking to a friend one day and she was like how are things going with your businesses? I was like, you know it's not moving as fast as I would like, and I started speaking in a negative way about all the things that are wrong with my current stage in my business. Well, that’s countering the momentum that you've already put out. So now it's going against what you said.

  Think about the things that you say in our life and be cognizant of what you're saying and think about. All your positive affirmations. Is there momentum in it? Is it really helping? Is it changing the vibration and the energy in you? Also think about what you are saying that's against that exact affirmation. If you can get that together that will help things manifest for you. If you're wondering why things haven’t shown up for you, because you're not in a perfect vibration of it. If you're not a vibration of it, it can’t come. If you’re anything like how I was, I was saying it, but nothing was happening. It was in this kind of seesaw effect that kept going up and down and up and down.

  Just something to think about. Be intentional with your words, affirm yourself, but make sure those affirmations are moving in such a way that you feel it. You have to feel these things into existence. It’s a feeling not just saying. “WORDS DON’T TEACH, ACTIONS DO”.
