“The beliefs about yourself that you hold deep in your subconscious mind have a tremendous effect on the reality you experience in your life. If you hold negative beliefs about yourself at the subconscious level, you will tend to experience negative realities in your life. If you hold positive beliefs about yourself, you will tend to experience positive realities in your life. That’s because your reality will ultimately match the subconscious image you have of yourself.  Let me repeat that statement, because it’s such a critical point.  Your reality will ultimately match the subconscious image you have of yourself.”

“The subconscious mind is where you hold deep-seeded beliefs about yourself, including whether you see yourself as talented or untalented, intelligent or unintelligent, successful or unsuccessful, deserving of love or undeserving of love, just to name a few. These deep-seeded beliefs about yourself are the result of all of your life’s experiences, including your childhood experiences.”

“Second, they are all “positive”. Negative words should not be included in your affirmations. Some psychologists believe that the subconscious mind doesn’t see or hear negative words like “not”. So if you say “I am not afraid”, your subconscious mind may hear that as “I am afraid”. So instead, say something positive like “I am confident and courageous.”

“It is critical that you stick with the process until your affirmations are totally accepted by the subconscious mind.  That’s because the subconscious mind cannot hold two competing beliefs at the same time.”
