What to Do When Your Affirmations Are Not Happening

Many times our affirmations are going to come to pass and we just need to take a little more time and remain focused. There are no set timelines for these things and some affirmations take a lot of effort and others come to pass quite easily. Other times the reason for the lack of results is quite simple. Thinking and perceptions about life are conflicting with the affirmation.

For example – Let’s say you are affirming for a great guy to appear in your life and become your romantic partner. You could use an affirmation such as the one below.

“I am living a great life with a great guy who loves me and wants to be with me.”

Seems simple enough. ..Well it might be, or it might be the hardest affirmation you have ever worked on. You will only manifest your dream guy if you allow yourself to do so. Any type of dysfunctional thinking about guys or your ability to get a guy will hinder your affirmations. Now the prospect that you might have some dysfunctional thinking about guys might be a bit overwhelming. How do you make sure your thoughts are not getting in the way? There is an easy answer to all of this and all it takes is the addition of one tiny affirmation.

“I am open to letting my dream guy come into my life.”

Then add your affirmation.

“I am open to letting my dream guy come into my life. I am living a great life with a great guy who loves me and wants to be with me.”

The key all of this is the part of the first affirmation - “I am open...”

Many times opening yourself is all it takes to gently massage your thinking and perceptions into line to allow your affirmations to come to pass. One note, this is not magic. You are simply opening yourself up to letting something happen. This will take time and there might be some pain along the way when you become aware of the thinking patterns and perceptions that you owned that were in conflict with your affirmation.

Remember, you are affirming that you are open to letting that dream guy come into your life. You are not affirming that you are letting that dream guy come into your life (which probably is a total conflict to what you are currently thinking). The opening process is like a tiny bud that slowly, slowly grows and gently, even so gently opens its fragile petals to soak up the sun. The process might take a few weeks, or a few months, or even a few years and even a few relationships that don’t last. Give yourself time for the opening process to happen – otherwise your affirmation will not come to pass. Conflicting thinking and perceptions about life always play a trump card to affirmations – there are no exceptions!

Try adding the phrase “I am open to...” with your affirmations. It really works to break down the conflicting thoughts and get your results coming quicker and quicker.

Affirmation Secrets: How to Hold to Your Affirmations and Keep on Living in the Now

As mentioned, affirmations work best when repeated over and over – but not over and over all day long! The purpose of affirming is to slowly change your inner perceptions about your life – not to blot out your current life situation. Affirming all day long will not help you get to your goal faster. It will put you in automatic mode – you need your mind working, not on mute!

Affirmations work best when your mind is impressionable:

1. First thing in the morning while you are getting awake.

2. Last thing at night when you are falling asleep.

3. During meditation or journaling.

4. While walking alone and enjoying the outdoors.

5. During a visualization time (some do this while meditating).

6. When you are feeling bombarded with thoughts of fear regarding not achieving your affirmation. At these times let the affirmations rip fast and furious to get yourself back in balance.

You will find that affirming three or four times a day is sufficient if you are focused while you are doing the affirming. As mentioned in number six keep the affirmations flowing if you are feeling overwhelmed with fear. At these times the chanting method is actually quite helpful. Remember to turn it off and come back to reality once your feel back in line with your desired outcome.

Other than that go live your life – the one you have right now. Your affirmations will come to pass over time as your inner self becomes more aligned with what you are affirming. Racing through affirmations over and over all day long will only prevent you from seeing what is perfect in your life right now – and keep you focused away from your current reality which you need to attend to if you want it to become something else.

Happiness Affirmations for A Happier You

First off, stop looking for happiness. The journey is highly overrated and it won’t get you any kind of tangible happiness that you can hold onto. Second, stop analyzing your past to try to figure out all the crappy stuff that happened to you. That backward looking experience will only perpetuate the negative emotions you are already intertwined with.

Happiness is an emotion. Being happy is something we feel when we think the world is a friendly place, cheering for us rather than against us. Wait a minute! This simply sounds more like a mindset or perspective rather than a formula for happiness. Exactly. Your perspective on your life and everything that happens to you will determine your level of happiness – plain and simple.

Adopt the mindset that the world is an evil place, full of harm and pain and that is exactly what you will experience. Adopt the mindset that the world is on your side and you are fully capable of thriving in this environment and that is what you will experience. Your happiness quotient is really up to you – the decision on how this will play out is in your court.

Since decisions to change one’s mindset are sometimes hard to make because of all the baggage we are lugging around here is some easy help that won’t cost you anything and you can start it right now. Try these affirmations to help you find the happiness you have been looking for.

I am open to letting happiness come into my life.

I am open to changing my perspectives about life so happiness can come into my life.

I am making the decision to feel happiness.

If you have never done affirmations before all you need to know is that repeating positive statements can have a huge impact on what you experience. Affirmations work best when repeated, or written during times of the day when you are meditating. It is also helpful to repeat or write affirmations when you are feeling vulnerable to negative emotions. Incorporating these tiny statements into your day will, over time, greatly impact your emotions, which will impact your future actions, which will impact your future decisions in turn impacting the kinds of results you see in your life.

Remember, happiness is an emotion. It is not something you need to find or discover. It is something you can feel right now and the easiest way to do that is to change your mind set about how you view the world and your life. If you need some help doing this take the affirmations and let them help you free your mind to adopting a mindset that will allow the happiness to come to you.

Affirmation Secrets: Do I Have To Believe In God For My Affirmations To Work?

It seems that people that believe in a God entity think that ‘anything is possible’ because the God entity is able to help them, give them assistance, and direction. It also seems that some people that don’t believe in a God entity have a harder time wrapping their head around ‘anything is possible’ because everything is up to them. Then to make matters more complicated some people believe ‘anything is possible’ because they are God, or God is within them (not somewhere out there). So I guess maybe the bigger issue is -

Do you believe anything is possible?

If you don’t believe ‘anything is possible’ your affirmations won’t work very well. If you do believe it because you think a God entity is rooting for you then your affirmations will work better. If you do believe it because you know you have all the power and strength you will even need because you are God then your affirmations will work better too.

The bottom line is really believing that whatever you are affirming can actually happen, even if your affirmation goal is far beyond your current capabilities, power, financial status, state of health or whatever. Affirmations work really well when you put positive beliefs into the emotions of the affirmation. Even if you cannot think of any way in heaven or hell that you can achieve your affirmation, belief or faith that the affirmation can come to pass will put you halfway across the finish line. The rest is all about timing, releasing the specifics and going with the flow – even if your flow is a little scattered.

So make God part of the picture whether the entity is ‘out there somewhere’ or right inside you and put your faith to work – one affirmation at a time.

Affirmations Secrets: How to Keep Money Flowing In Your Life

Here is how it works with money...

You earn money doing whatever it is you spend your work time on. You use the money for food, clothing, shelter and entertainment. Those food, clothing, shelter and entertainment vendors take the money and feed, clothe, house and entertain their own families. It is all a cycle. The money keeps flowing all around over and over. Now try stepping out of this cycle. Earn your money but don’t spend any of it. Ouch, no food, no shelter, no housing and no entertainment. Double ouch, all those vendors can’t feed, clothe, house and entertain their own families. The system breaks apart. The money flow ends. Hoarding money doesn’t fit with this system nor does permanently removing yourself from the money creation process. You need to be in the system. Now, I am not saying don’t save money for later, you might plan to use it to buy food, clothing, shelter and entertainment at a later date. You don’t have to spend everything you earn. You also might have a season in your life where you choose to remove yourself from part of the system (the earning part) and you would still like to participate in the economy. Money saved works great for these seasons.

So how do you stay in the flow of money?

*Acknowledge that money flows around and that is ok.

*Acknowledge that you want to be part of the money system.

*Relax into the flow of money.

Affirmations really work to reinforce a healthy relationship with money and ensure you are always confident to let money flow into and out of life –without the panic and the desire to hold it tight in case there might never be anymore. Try these money affirmations and watch your relationship with money soften and flow:

“I am open to the flow of money in and out of my life. I am always taken care of.”

“I am safe and secure with the flow of money into and out of my life.“

“I am in the flow of money, my life is in the flow of money.”

“I release money to flow into my life and out of my life.”

Once you enter in the flow of money you will find your life is so much easier and you are so much more relaxed and able to enjoy yourself. Remember, affirmations work best when you repeat them over and over for a period of time. Keep at it! The effort is really worth it.

Affirmations Secrets: How to Stay Healthy and Promote Wellbeing

Focus and affirm that your body is back in balance with itself and you are in harmony with your surroundings. Here are some examples:

*Neck troubles?

Affirmation: “My neck is in balance and harmony with my body.”

*Digestion issues?

Affirmation: “My stomach and intestines are in balance and harmony with my body.”

*Overall health issues?

Affirmation: “My body is in balance and harmony with the world.”

Since pain and distress in your body are simply indicators that something is amiss this affirmation approach is a quick and easy way to focus and affirm on getting better. This broad affirmation also allows the root of the issue to come to the forefront of your thinking, without you trying to figure it out. You might find that your neck troubles have nothing to do with your neck but rather how you sit in your chair at work. You might discover that your sleeplessness nights are being caused by allergies to bedding – not a physical condition at all. Whatever the situation, focusing on balance and harmony gets you pointed in the right direction of getting better rather than spending your time lamenting about your symptoms.

This approach also works great for the times in life when you feel disconnected with yourself and others.

*Feeling like you don’t belong? Not sure how you fit in with the world?

Affirmation: “I am in balance and harmony with the world.”

*Feeling like you don’t know your next step in life?

Affirmation: “My life is in balance and harmony. I know where I am going.”

Focusing on balance and harmony in your life is a quick and easy method to promote health and overall well being while staying pointed in the direction of getting or staying better. Remember, affirmations work when you repeat them, or write them over and over again – over a period of time. Keep at it!

Affirmations and the Fear of Death

Well, the first thing we all know is that everyone dies at some point. The second thing we know is that what happens after we die is a mystery. Doesn’t it seem kind of odd that with all our technology and intelligence that we have not figured out this death thing? Marry that with the fact that we have not really figured out where we came from to begin with either and it seems like we have a pattern here of intended unknowns. No one is certain where we came from and no one is certain where will go once this life is over. Oh, sure some religious people will give you an earful about heaven, hell, paradise and a whole bunch of other places, but they don’t really know either they have just found comfort in the teachings of their faith. Mankind has always purposed theories about these things as they tried to make peace with the issue of dying.

What if the intention of our death was to welcome the unknown? What if we came to peace with our death and were able to get on living? Could an affirmation help? You bet.

If you are one of the many who are afraid of dying and anything surrounding your death try these affirmations. In no time you will feel more alive and forget about when your life will end and what may or may not happen.

I am open to understanding death.

I release when and how I will die. I will die when my time here on earth is over.

I embrace life.

I am open to living my life at its fullest.

I am safe and always will be, even after I die.

When I die, I will go wherever I go and do whatever I will do. Most of all I will be totally ok.

My life on this earth will end when I am ready to leave.

I am ready to live my life.

I am ok with dying and now I am ready to start living.

Try these affirmations whenever you feel the urge to spend your living time thinking about the mystery of what will happen when you are no longer here. In no time you will be much more interested in living in the here and now and leaving that dying stuff to all the people who have gone before you.
