Affirmations Gone Wild

For years I’ve been touting the use of affirmations to change our thinking and to impress on the mind  visions of what we desire.  Although I still believe in affirmations and visions, my understanding of what they are and how to use them has grown immensely.  What I hadn’t integrated was the understanding that affirmations are every thought we think and word we say not just some words I put together to help me through a “crisis” or  bring me something I desire.  It’s not about wishing and trying to believe that these affirmations will work for me, it’s about knowing that what I will receive is based on what I expect.

This is where the difficulty lies as most of us receive very little of what we desire because we don’t expect more.  We usually get some demonstration of what we want by working our affirmations and visions but not nearly what we had hoped to receive.  Why?  We are hoping rather than believing and expecting.  Very few of us understand how to let go of the thinking that fills us with doubt about our abilities to create or find solutions.

For years my thinking has been steeped in affirming and wishing for “things” which reminds me of the words in the old song “wishin and hopin”.  I did not understand that I was not alone in trying to make things happen but a CREATIVE POWER existed within me that supported me in generating my desires.  Now, I understand that when I honestly believe and align with this creative force, it will work through me generating a POSITIVE, I CAN attitude that will bring me what I desire and need. Eric Butterworth says, “when you believe you can do it, the how to thinking is set in motion which enables our ability to manifest what we desire.”

 In my mind the key to making this creative force work for us and change our circumstances is to develop the courage and confidence to believe and trust in its power. Then, we will be led to what we need to know to get our answers and solutions to create our desires.
