Playing an affirmation tape/cd/mp3 in the background when we are not paying much attention to it makes it work faster. How about playing it (softly) when we go to bed? As our minds go from beta to alpha to theta, our own affirmation (let's say 30-45 mins tape) will help us even more as it is our own voice. Comments?

True for some false for others.

Most people grew up accepting what others told them about them. "You're silly, you won't have any money left if you spend it reckless, You have to save for a rainy day, you're just not good at painting..."

Those became our affirmations. So for some they will hear the affirmations in their own voice and another part of the mind says liar, not true and pulls up all the memories of occasions when someone else pointed out otherwise.

This makes the personal Celebration Series even more rewarding because someone else is affirming about us. Strange to say but an affirmation needs only be spoken once by someone else and it can radically change what we think about ourselves.

I remembered a couple of times I made a comment about myself and a lacking quality. One person I didn't even know the name of corrected me pointing out that not only did I have the quality I felt was lacking but I was demonstrating it there and then on the spot. It was a powerful experience when a stranger corrects you and points out you're demonstrating that quality there and then. My belief changed overnight.

Another occasion was with a close family friend. I had come to accept a beleif instilled in my by my father. When I happened to make that remark to her she countered that I in fact posses the exact skill more than anyone else she had known. Powerful stuff coming from someon old enough to be my mother.

Other people find their own affirmations work perfectly when they have evidence of the truth they can reach in their minds.

Thanks Unis for the suggestion to add some music too. Yes, 20-25 mins sound reasonable. I usually fall asleep with in 30 seconds or so. Thanks for your tips also Alex. Maybe I can add my message and also someone else (my wife?) repeating them. Interesting but true.

This is not an affirmation spoken from another person. This is someone that proved to you on the spot that you were wrong, so logically you changed belief.

You are [fill in the blank], is an affirmation, just as I am [fill in the blank] is an affirmation.

Their interpretation of what I was doing was different to mine. I just surrendered to the situation. The first bus didn't show up the second bus was so packed it didn't even bother to stop and the third bus was also running late. I stood there waiting 1.5 hours waiting for transport home. I simply surrendered because there was nothing else I could do since it was a Friday and I had no funds for a taxi. So I got to talking to the ticket seller who stationed the stop. She was telling me something and I said something to the effect of, I am not a very patient person. She then said, "you are a very patient person. You've' been standing here for 1 hour and 15 minutes waiting for your bus and this is the third time this week your bus is late. You haven't given me a hard time about it like so many other people here have." Then I started remembering other situations where I demonstated patience similar to what she pointed out.

Her affirmation for me gave me a new definition of patience.

The other incident I was thinking of. I had to throw in the towel for something I wanted to do. I mentioned to my "Aunt" that I was disappointed that I'm a quitter and never finish what I start. I summarised it the statement, 'I lack persistance.' To which she replied, "You are the most persistent person I know." I can still remember the impact of that affirmation, said to me when I was 21. It was a mixture of shock and awe and the thought. If she believes that it's got to be true. Mind after about 10 minutes of silence I did ask her what her evidence was. I couldn't refute it and I remembered more occasions.

The reason for saying affirmations over and over is to get the mind to look for the proof, past, present or future, so our belief can be conjurent. When someone else makes the affirmation, half the job is done... they never say it if they haven't got some evidence they believe proves it. Which is why having someone else affirm for you can work better than hearing yourself say it. It switches your ind to finding their proof.

The fact is we have the proof that we seek when we start writing affirmation about ourselves. If it wasn't already within our ability and we haven't already done it in the past then we wouldn't even think of writing an affirmation. It just isn't congruent in us. Quite often we don't see the forest for the trees. We have the skill we desire we just haven't accepted it yet.

That sounds like an interesting and powerful idea! I wonder if anyone has ever done that with their partner before and what their experience was? Hope you do the same for your wife.

Let us know how it goes.
