Relationship Affirmations / Love Affirmations

Relationship Affirmations/Love affirmations are one of the many powerful ways to deliberately design the future of your relationship. Love affirmations/relationship affirmations can used to complement relationship creative visualization.

What are Affirmations?

An affirmation is a statement expressing a desired outcome that you say to yourself. It puts you in a frame of mind that assumes that your goals are achievable and possible. It keeps your mind focused on your outcome. When used repetitiously, it becomes firmly planted in your unconscious mind. Hence, eventually what you have affirmed for becomes a reality.

Keep the following points in mind when crafting affirmations

1) Phrase them as if they are occurring in the now.
For eg. If your outcome is to become a more confident person, a suitable affirmation might be: ‘I am becoming more and more confident. I am feeling better and better about myself’.

2) Phrase affirmations in terms of what you want rather than what you don’t want, a negation. For eg, ‘I am not a self-conscious person’ instead ‘I am becoming more and more confident, content and fulfilled’. The brain cannot evaluate ‘not self-conscious’ without thinking of being self-conscious. For instance, when someone tells you ‘Do not think of a pink elephant’ What are you thinking of next? Also do not say ‘I have no self-doubt’ You get reminded of having self-doubt.

3) Do not give affirmations specific deadlines, for instance, ‘In three months time I will become a more confident person.’ Firstly, it might take more than 3 months to achieve that. Secondly, your unconscious mind might not want to work on your goal for now.

4) Craft or pick affirmations to work on that resonate with you the most, at that particular point in time.

5) Remember, energy follows thought.

6) Many self help books recommend that affirmations are repeated out aloud hundreds of times each day. However, saying out loud has nowhere the same impact on your feelings and behaviors as hearing the same things inside your mind. If you are telling wonderful things on the outside, but hearing a critical, demoralizing voice on the inside telling you that you are fooling yourself, your internal voice's suggestions will win every time. To overcome this, it is best to do internal programming of affirmations at the alpha level of mind.

7) Affirmations are most powerful when combined with visualizations, in a meditative alpha state of mind
