Positive Affirmations based on Napoleon Hill’s Think And Grow Rich

I just started reading this book for the first time ever…(I don’t know why I didn’t read it sooner.) So I put together some thoughts on using these concepts to increase my business and my happiness.

“The subconscious mind will transmute into its physical equivalent by the most direct and practical media available any order which is given to it in a state of belief or faith that the order will be carried out,” Napoleon Hill wrote.

Affirmations are a very powerful tool for using the principle of Auto Suggestion. But as Hill also points out, “the subconscious mind takes any orders given it in a spirit of absolute FAITH, and acts upon those orders, although the orders often have to be presented over and over again, through repetition, before they are interpreted by the subconscious mind”.

To be effective Affirmations should be (1) brief, (2) positive (3) specific and (4) in the present tense. Invoking a spirit of gratitude can add great power to your affirmation. To do this simply begin your affirmation with “I am so happy and grateful now that…”

It is very important that your affirmations be your own.  What you believe can and will be true.  Below is a list that you can use to trigger your own thoughts.  If you don’t believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that the affirmation is true, it won’t work to change your thought pattern and allow your desire to come to you.

Also make sure your affirmations are in the present tense…”I Am” or “I Can” instead of “I will be” or “I will have”.
Write the affirmation on a small card and carry it around with you, pausing throughout the day to read it (aloud if possible) as you visualize and feel the experience described in the affirmation. As Hill writes, “emotion is critical to success”.

Additional Considerations For Positive Daily Affirmations

1. Because your experience will create the conditions that allow affirmations to manifest, word the affirmations carefully to make them crystal-clear. State your real, innermost desires and articulate your most expansive sense of self. Affirmations based on a narrow self-concept deliver results that fall short, cause suffering, and further diminish the sense of self.

2. Be deliberate in your affirmations. Spontaneous thoughts voiced out in an intense emotional state may produce undesirable effects, so consider many possible alternatives before choosing the affirmation to silently intone. Silent affirmations are more effective than spoken statements, because they entail more intensity of concentration and resonate through your entire body instead of in your surroundings.

3. Link your affirmations to actual daily actions to lay the ground for their manifestation. For instance, affirming that you will win the lottery can only be set in motion when you play in it.

4. Find a way to make it easy for you to do positive daily affirmations. You may find that it is not a habit for you to make these statements on a regular basis. To circumvent this problem, I have been using Mind Movies, a software that sits on my PC, flashing out subliminal affirmations subtlely as I work. I figured this to be a better solution for me than using an audio, since I am on the PC more often and am not in the habit of listening to a music CD.  If you click on the Mind Movies link, you will also receive 6 free pre-made mind movies as a bonus.

You can of course, choose to do a screensaver, using power point slides, with all your positive affirmations in there. This is how my husband does his, on his laptop.

However, I feel that the effect is different. My affirmations get flashed unobtrusively on my screen as I work, whereas my husband only gets to see his list of affirmations when he is not on his keyboard for a couple of minutes.

So there you have it!!  I hope you enjoyed this post.  Please leave your comments here and I will personally read each one.
