There is much to learn from the religiously inclined who use
chants and litanies to affirm themselves and their faith. The power of
affirmation can, in fact, be used by all people to remind themselves of
their beliefs, choices and goals in life. Daily affirmation of something
you believe about yourself and about the world you live in is one of
the cornerstones of self confidence.
The fact is that we tend to lose ourselves in the course of most days. Professional, family and social concerns make us forget why we do what we do. When this happens, we can lose motivation and the will to go on. This is because we lose sight of our goals, and daily affirmations of who we are, what we believe in and what we want can clarify our focus and energize our days.
Goals are important simply because they set a benchmark against which we can measure ourselves. By affirming our goals and our power to achieve them on a daily basis, we are ensuring that we have the necessary self confidence even during setbacks.
People who lose sight of their goals tend to lose self confidence. Affirmations can help us put a place of daily empowerment in place. Practicing this has some rather profound effects - we tend to save time, our energy levels are higher and we take decisions more readily.
Maintaining high self confidence by means of regular self affirmation is a simple autosuggestion technique. You merely have to declare an intention or goal repeatedly until your mind accepts the statement as a fact.
By doing this, you mobilize your resources and make more decisive efforts towards attaining your stated goals. As a natural consequence of forward movement and inevitable successes that self affirmations bring, you will find yourself charged with self confidence almost all the time.
Why not start harnessing the power of your subconscious mind with daily affirmations? Athletes, politicians, students and businessmen who do so swear by this useful form of self-hypnosis. The best way of doing it is to conjure up a strong vision along with the affirmative statement so that you actually visualize yourself as the person you are affirming yourself to be. See yourself with the signed contract in your hand, or shaking the college principal's hand during the academic awards ceremony.
State your affirmations to yourself every day. Let doing so be the first thing you do upon waking in the morning, before starting work, and before you retire for the night. Program your mind for success and success will be yours.
