Affirmation plays a significant role to pass the desire to our subconscious mind (SCM). Once desire sinks in our SCM, it starts working to convert them into reality. One important point to remember here is, while putting these desires to our SCM, we should not have doubt about them. This means, on one side we want our desires to convert into reality & on the other side, we are also having doubt whether that can really happen.
In the above contradictory situation, SCM stops working on those desires. So while making any affirmation for related desire, we must have deep faith in our subconscious mind. We should not poke our intelligence in this process. Once we start using our conscious mind (intelligence), it generally starts putting logic & raising doubt about our desires.
Conscious Mind Support
We can understand this with one example: If you are doing the job and your job profile is moderate. But your desire is to lead from a good or top position, then your intelligence (conscious mind) may create doubt that your current skills, capabilities & education are not good enough for your desired position. So what to do now? In such a case, make one affirmation in line with your desired goal and repeat it at a time when your conscious mind is not so active. In general best suitable times for this, immediately once you awake in the morning & when you are about to sleep at the night. If you want to do it any time, then you must learn to go in the alpha state of mind and then repeat your desired affirmation. (To learn about how to go in alpha state, you can read the blog ‘Harness the Power of Subconscious Mind’). With the above techniques, you can pass your desire to your subconscious mind & get your desired outcome in a relatively shorter period of time. Overall it’s always better if your conscious and subconscious mind works together to achieve your common goals in life.
Below is the list of positive affirmations, which you can use in life for related desires. (content credit to book ‘52 Weekly Affirmations: Techniques to Unleash the Power of Your Subconscious Mind’ by Dr. Joseph Murphy).
# Find Ideal Home or Apartment
The infinite intelligence of my subconscious mind is all-wise. It reveals to me now the ideal home, which is in a central location and a lovely environment, meets all my requirements, and is appropriate for my income. I am now turning this request over to my subconscious mind, and I know it responds according to the nature of my request. I release this request with absolute faith and confidence in the same way that a farmer deposits a seed in the ground, trusting implicitly in the laws of growth.
In buying and selling, remember that your conscious mind is the starter and your subconscious mind is the motor. You must start the motor to enable it to perform its work. The first step in conveying your clarified desire, idea, or image to the deeper mind is to relax, immobilize the attention, get still, and be quiet. This quiet, relaxed, and peaceful attitude of mind prevents unimportant matters and false ideas from interfering with the mental absorption of your idea. Furthermore, in the quiet, passive, and receptive attitude of mind, the effort is reduced to a minimum.
The answer to your request may come through an advertisement in the paper, through a friend, or you may be guided directly to a particular home, which is exactly what you are seeking. There are many ways by which your prayer may be answered. The principal knowledge, in which you may place your confidence, is that the answer always comes, provided you trust the working of your deeper mind.
# Solve a Problem
My subconscious knows the answer. It is responding to me now. I give thanks because I know the infinite intelligence of my subconscious knows all things and is revealing the perfect answer to me now. My real conviction is now setting free the majesty and glory of my subconscious mind. I rejoice that it is so.
People often try too hard to solve their own problems, often making matters worse through their efforts. Instead of using your conscious mind to find the solution to a problem, pass the problem to your subconscious mind, which is much better equipped to solve tricky problems. Many times, with the conscious mind suspended during sleep, the subconscious mind solves the problem, and you wake up knowing the solution.
# Make an Important or Difficult Decision
The creative intelligence of my subconscious mind knows what is best for me. Its tendency is always life-ward, and it reveals to me the right decision, which blesses all concerned. I give thanks for the answer which I know will come to me.
Whenever you are facing a life-changing decision, such as whether to change jobs, move, get married or divorced, have children, and so on, engage your subconscious. Your conscious, rational mind may be able to reason what is best, but your intuition is likely to lead you to a decision that complies with the divine order. Trust your intuition.
A young lady in Los Angeles was deciding whether to accept a position in New York City at twice her present salary. She repeated this affirmation over and over again prior to sleep, and in the morning she had a persistent feeling that she should not accept the offer. She rejected the offer and subsequent events verified her inward sense of knowing because the company went bankrupt in a few months following their offer of employment to her. The conscious mind may be correct on the facts objectively known, but the intuitive faculty of her subconscious mind saw the failure of the concern in question and prompted her accordingly.
# Improve Your Memory
My memory from today on is improving in every department. I shall always remember whatever I need to know at every moment of time and point of space. The impressions received will be clearer and more definite. I shall retain them automatically and with ease. Whatever I wish to recall will immediately present itself in the correct form in my mind. I am improving rapidly every day, and very soon my memory will be better than it has ever been before.
Use the above affirmation to improve your memory. Never think or say anything such as “I am losing my memory” or “Maybe I am getting dementia.” If such thoughts make it past the gatekeeper of your conscious mind and take root in your subconscious, your subconscious mind will begin to bring those thoughts to fruition. Crowd out negative thinking with positive thoughts.
# Break a Bad Habit
My mind is full of peace, poise, balance, and equilibrium. The infinite lies stretched in smiling repose within me. I am not afraid of anything in the past, the present, or the future. The infinite intelligence of my subconscious mind leads, guides, and directs me in all ways. I now meet every situation with faith, poise, calmness, and confidence. I am now completely free from the habit. My mind is full of inner peace, freedom, and joy. I forgive myself; then I am forgiven. Peace, health, and confidence reign supreme in my mind.
The above affirmation works well for breaking any bad habit. You are a creature of habit. Habit is the function of your subconscious mind. You learned to swim, ride a bicycle, dance, and drive a car by consciously doing these things over and over again until they established tracks in your subconscious mind. Then, the automatic habit action of your subconscious mind took over. This is sometimes called second nature, which is a reaction of your subconscious mind to your thinking and acting. You are free to choose a good habit or a bad habit. If you repeat a negative thought or act over a period of time, you will be under the compulsion of a habit. The law of your subconscious is compulsion.
