Have you read any popular self improvement or motivational books? If you have, most likely there are some chapters in the books that talk about the importance and effectiveness of doing affirmation regularly to install positive self-concept into your mind. But, if affirmation is so important and effective, then how come there are still a lot of people who do not get optimum results even after rigorously affirming day in and day out? In this learn self hypnosis post, you will find the main reasons why your affirmation fails.
After doing careful research and experimenting with my own affirmations, finally I found out why my affirmations did not produce the results that I wanted. Please follow along this guide to be able to get optimal results for your affirmations.
1. Do your affirmation in a hypnosis state. How do you usually do your affirmation? Do you post your scripts and pictures everywhere in your house, in your car, and in your office? The idea behind this is to overwhelm your mind with positive aspects so that your mind can absorb them easily. But, if all these visual inputs are done while you’re still fully awake, you won’t be able to get the full benefits, because your critical factor will usually interfere in the process. By going into a hypnosis state first, your affirmation will meet minimum or no resistance and you will be able to get greater benefits in a shorter period of time.
2. Do your affirmation at night before going to bed. When you are sleepy and about to go to bed at night, your brainwave will enter the alpha or theta state which is ideal for your affirmation, because your critical factor will be much less active in these states.
3. Use affirmation for short-term goals. If you use it for long-term goals, you will see the results much later, and your mind might begin wondering if the affirmation works or not. Instead, use it for shorter term goals and once you reach them, keep upgrading the goals until you reach your desired long-term goals.
4. Limit you affirmation to a maximum of 3. If you do too many affirmations at a time, your subconscious mind might be confused and its power will be spread over too many things at a time. To get the best results, it’s best to focus on a few at a time.
5. Re-write your affirmation when necessary. If you don’t see any result after using the affirmation for 2 weeks, it’s time to re-write it. Please choose words and sentences that have maximum impact on you. Also make sure that you use only positive-structured sentences.
I hope, this learn self hypnosis post can help you in making your affirmation more successful. I am confident that once you incorporate these simple tips, affirmation can be a great tool to help you achieve the life that you want.

Yes, that’s true - you really have to be in a deeply relaxed, hypnotic state for affirmations to work otherwise there will too much resistance from the conscious mind. While we are in a deeply relaxed state the positive affirmations can reach directly the subconscious mind and make all the positive changes.

You are after my Heart! Affirmations are a great way to help yourself. I use them everyday and am looking to see the products you may offer. You clearly are educated in this field!

It’s really incredible how powerful our minds are. I find that when writing my affirmations they tend to be more believable if I use the words, “I choose…” rather than “I am…” If I want to lose weight for instance, saying “I am thin,” does not work very well but saying, “I choose to be thin,” is better…because my conscious mind won’t fight those words.

I find the word ‘allow’ used in affirmations also works well. Stating your affirmations in the present tense as if what you want is already here has a great impact when it comes to manifesting your desires more quickly.

It’s almost like we have to re-program our minds to be positive then after time it becomes second nature to how we see ourselves.
You have some great advice here on self affirmations. In most things I tend to want to do too much at once, so I like your advice about only working with three affirmations at a time, as well as the using them for short term goals. It IS easy to get discouraged if the time to get the desired result is farther out than we would like.

Great post about using an affirmation along with self hypnosis to achieve your goals. It is hard to see results sometimes just using affirmations alone.

I still maintain that hypnosis doesn’t work on me - I’ve tried self-hypnosis tapes, positive affirmations, free recordings off the internet, and asked a hypnotherapist friend to give it a shot on me…but alas, none of these efforts were fruitful.
I am too strong willed and super analytical - I guess this works against me
