AFFIRMATIONS

By Brian Carson

Affirmations are a powerful tool in any goal-oriented individuals arsenal. The problem with affirmations is that many of today’s self-improvement guru’s are teaching them wrong.

Practiced correctly, affirmations can change or create habits in a very short period of time. Recent experiments concluded that affirmations would take hold and create a new habit in a period of about 21-30 days. For some individuals it could be longer and some shorter. What matters most is that they work, are a very powerful force, but only if done properly.

The problem with affirmations arises when you use I am or I will statements. I will refers to something that may never happen and I am can create a crisis with your conscience.
