subject: The Right Way To Use Weight Loss Affirmations [print this page] Using affirmations to help you lose weight can provide a good "boost" to your weight loss program, but only if you use them in the right way. Too many people think that just saying the words will create positive changes - or worse, they use affirmations that are unfocused, weak or otherwise ineffective. No wonder they don't get anywhere! This article is going to offer some helpful ideas and tips for writing powerful, effective weight loss affirmations.
First things first: The focus of your weight loss affirmation. You may think that you are creating the affirmation to help you lose weight, but that is not exactly right. Your true goal is feeling good about your body; you just happen to believe that losing your excess weight will help you feel that way. And indeed, it probably will. But to focus on the dropping of pounds won't help you tune into your true goal. Instead, think about how you want to feel, physically and emotionally. If being overweight makes you feel ungainly, sluggish, heavy and embarrassed, then being slender and fit will likely make you feel happy, confident, strong and energetic.
Focus on how you want to feel after losing weight, not necessarily the numbers on the scale. An affirmation that says, "I now weigh 125 pounds" doesn't really tune into your true goal. Instead, how about one like this: "I feel so light, confident and fit!"
It is vital that your affirmations trigger positive emotions when you say them! An affirmation that doesn't stimulate positive emotion will be ineffective and a complete waste of time. Feeling positive emotion is a strong indication that you are drawing energy from the universe and flowing it deliberately toward an outcome you desire - that's the power of the law of attraction being activated.
Next important step: Keep saying your weight loss affirmations over and over all day long. Saying them only once or twice a day will accomplish nothing. Instead, be relentless about it. Say them over and over while you are driving, shopping, watching television, taking a walk, meditating, or doing anything else. The more frequently you do, the faster they are going to replace any old, limiting beliefs you may have been holding.
Last but not least, say your affirmations with strong intention and power. If you just mumble them quietly they won't carry nearly as much power as if you practically shout them (you can just say them strongly instead of loudly if you want to keep them private and there are other people around you). Just make sure to infuse them with a lot of passion and conviction. For most people, using affirmations in this way should inspire some noticeable changes within a week, maybe two. The changes may be small at first but if you keep going they should increase in intensity and frequency.
