There is a powerful way to use affirmations, that zap limiting beliefs at the same time as soaking in the
affirmations.
This was described by Phil Laut, author of "Money Is My Friend". (Phil Laut was mentioned in
Arnold Patent's "You Can Have It All" - that's how I heard of him and bought the book)
The method is simply:
Choose a positive affirmation that is pretty opposite to one of your
stubborn crap beliefs.
Write the affirmations. As you're writing, when your fear thoughts (and especially feelings)
start rebelling, go ahead and write those negative beliefs on paper under the
affirmation you write.
For example you write: "Money Circulates Freely In My Life", and your fear-voice says: "how come
I'm still in this apt", write it down, and then you write a rebuttal to this.
You keep on writing the same affirmations, until there's no opposite charge.
A couple of other writers also provided the same technique: Jerry Gillies in MoneyLove, and Michael Rowland author of Absolute Happiness .
So, yeah, I do agree with you Ivan, that affirmations can be a waste of a time if you try to force yourself to
believe them by saying them without feeling.
If you buy the Abundance For Life course, though, I'd say just use that and ignore all other techniques though. Focusing on one regimen is the best.
The original post was aimed at the person asking the question. A specific answer to a specific question - I accidentally posted in a new topic as I mentioned.
