When we need to change our own behaviour, to undo negative learning patterns, the most effective way to do it is by affirmations – self hypnosis. Repeating positive messages reprograms the negative tapes which compel us to behave in a certain way.
Affirmations are really another way of carrying out self hypnosis
in other words, repeating over and over the positive message
we wish to achieve in our behaviour
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it!
means I begin to feel as though I truly can
for some the same happens when praying
both methods involve positive repetitive messages
with a lot of faith thrown in

I think the best use of positive affirmations is to combine them with self hypnosis, thus to use hypnotic autosuggestion.THat menas to embed self hypnosis at after we’ve repeated the positive affirmations.That’s why, at first we sature the conscious mind with the affirmation, and then, we carry them deepr into subconscious by means of self hypnosis!
I was not aware of this definition but i used to create repetitive reminders of “be positive” in my mobile phone to change my thinking from negative to postive. It worked great.
Well… Praying and selfhypnosis are not that far from each other, repetiton is a major part of self hypnosis, and of prayer.
its hard for me to understand how can people discard such powerful ideas. This self affirmation thing is quite popular and a lot of successful people use it. However the common man is still not ready to believe all this.
It takes a while to master self hypnosis, but once you master, there is nothing you cannot achieve.
Thanks Rob, no I haven’t read that book and I am not free to do so at the moment, maybe later this year.
I wondered if you have read Derren Brown’s new book ? I has given me a lot of food for thought throwing a whole ne light on the “hypnotic experience”.
Nice well thought out site. Well done!
Hi Affie
I started to listen to self hypnosis CDs as a way of relaxing.
That worked but I also found that the affirmations worked which is a bonus.
As you may realise, I am a big fan of self hypnosis now.

Success through mind power » Affie Adagio Life Coach, Family Therapist, Marriage Celebrant, Trainer Comment on Affirmations – self hypnosis (February 7th, 2007 at 16:34)
[...] Rodger Cresswell made a comment about my post Affirmations – self hypnosis which was worth showing below because it is important to see how other people’s experiences confirm these life strategies. The more we repeat a positive message to ourselves (self hypnosis) then it becomes an affirmation which programs us to achieve our dreams. By the same token it is so important to avoid repetitive messages which are negative if we wish to be successful in life. Think about the times you have said to yourself “I’m going to drop this” and it is guaranteed to happen. Try repeating “I can do it” over and over and watch the phenomenon of success through mind power. I started to listen to self hypnosis CDs as a way of relaxing.
