Enhance Your Affirmations

"There's More to Affirmations than Just Speaking Them"

Your success strategy should include using affirmations.  By using your other senses you can make them more powerful.  Here's the best way to do it.

Stating your affirmations is a great success strategy but are you using them in the best way?  It's not just about reciting them twice a day from a list that you made.

You need to activate your other senses while you are speaking them.  These are the senses of sight, sound,  touch and smell that you may have not considered important before.

If you only speak your affirmations you are ignoring these other dimensions of sense that can help you get results much faster.  By using them your subconscious will absorb them more easily.  It will have no choice but to listen and experience what your message is.

For each of the goals that are affirming with your statements think about your other senses and how they are can be used to make it seem more real.

As an example, suppose one of your goals was to have a new car and you had written your affirmation to help you get it.

See Your Affirmations

This is one of the most powerful senses to make your affirmations more powerful.  If you can see in your mind what it's like to experience your goal then you will reach it much faster.

Picture that new car in your mind while you speak your affirmation.  Imagine that you are actually driving it, sitting in the driver's seat and steering it to your destination.  Look at pictures of that new car and commit them to your memory.

Hear Your Affirmations

What would the stereo system in that car sound like to you?  If it would be amazing then imagine that you are listening to your favourite music while driving it.

Listen to the music playing and the sounds of the road as you state your affirmation.  If you are better at imagining sounds than visualizing then focus more on this sense.

Touch Your Affirmations

What would it be like to put your hands on the controls of that new automobile?  Or placing your hands on the leather wrapped steering wheel and your foot on the accelerator pedal?  Or feeling the excitement as you accelerate quickly?

Feel it as best you can in your mind with your sense of touch.  For some this is more effective than seeing or hearing.

Smell Your Affirmations

A new car has an unmistakable fresh smell that you should attempt to experience in your mind.  Smell the leather seats, the wood trim, the brand new rubber and metal.

What would it smell like to you?  Try to imagine this as you are stating your affirmation.

Why use just simple verbal affirmations?  Add the power of your other senses to enhance your affirmations.  You already know what you desire, don't you?

see it, hear it, touch it and smell it.
