It is the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen. – Muhammed Ali
Affirmations are powerful seeds of intent directed at one’s higher self with the ability to change the course of one’s life in quite extraordinary and exciting ways. – D. Cunnliffe
This week I choose to write about using affirmations along with tapping. Tapping helps us turbo charge our affirmations, as we begin to anchor these statements in our nervous system and strengthen the neural connections. It is also important to notice the blocks, or the voices in our head, the yeah… but… that we hear all the time which can be a major block to reaching our goal or setting an intention.
The idea of this blog is to encourage you to use affirmations and believe in the power of positive thinking, but in a mindful way. If you have been affirming something for quite some time and if you still feel you are having some difficulties in reaching your goal or taking action steps towards your goal, it is quite possible you have some subconscious reasons for not getting there. Having the awareness and recognizing that there may be a block, lets us be kind to ourselves as we begin to work our way towards achieving our goals.
Tapping makes the process a lot easier as we are led to the clues when we begin tapping. The next time you say an affirmation, ask yourself the following questions:
- How possible it is for me to achieve this goal or affirmation?
- Am I really aligned with achieving this goal or affirmation?
- Do I believe this affirmation 100 percent?
- Do I really want this in my life?
- How important it is for me to achieve this goal?
Asking ourselves these questions help us come up with some answers and all those become targets for tapping.
Once you choose the target of tapping,
- Acknowledge and accept the problem
- Release and let go
- Bring the affirmation or the intention
Wishing you peace and happiness!
Until next time, keep tapping!
