The affirmations process is an intriguing one with many believing it is just too easy to be true. However affirmations really do work if you are consistent in affirming the statements into your life. Think about the affirmations process as a way of rewriting a script. Say for example you are a screen writer for a popular television series and in one particular episode the end scene leaves everyone feeling sad, empty and down. As a screen writer all you have to do is change the script by writing a more positive ending to the show.

Of course in real life it doesn’t seem quite as easy as that however you are the screen writer of your life and you can change your script. Another way of thinking about the affirmations process is to consider it as a reprogramming of your mind. Your mind is like an amazing computer however just like a normal computer it can be corrupted with bad programming, or the software may not work because of programming glitches or the computer may get a virus.

The point is our minds, just like computers can suffer from these things however we tend to think that because it is our mind and not a literal computer that we can’t treat such things. When in fact the opposite is true – our brains can be reprogrammed just like a computer and can have all viruses or faulty functions removed or improved.

The affirmations process works by affirming what is actually true. This also is an important point – the affirmation must be true. You can not believe something that is too far-fetched and neither should you. Affirmations are not a way of escaping reality they are to help you face reality with confidence. We have about 25,000 to 50,000 thoughts per day and most of those thoughts run on auto-pilot. The problem for a great many people is that most of those thoughts are negative – and that is not reality. So affirmations used correctly can help in the adjustment back to reality.

The affirmations process works by us continually reading, hearing or saying affirmations until they become a part of our sub-conscious and literally become a part of who we are. It is not a 5 minute fix or an instant cure but rather a long term method of accepting reality for what it is without the negative unreal view of every situation.

I love the concept of affirmations being like a passport. When you are traveling to another country you must have a passport to be allowed entry into that country. If you arrive at the destination and have no passport you are refused entry so you must have a passport to enter into that other place.

Sadly for most people the country they are living in is the country of negativity and sadness and while they may always dream about traveling one day to that lucky country called happiness they have no passport to get there.

Affirmations can be that passport with diligent practice. You just can not say one or two positive affirmations and then be instantly transported to a different dimension. There is work involved in getting a passport. You have to fill in all the paper work, get a photo taken and go to the appropriate office and get it approved and so on. You just don’t wish a passport into existence and so it is with affirmations.

Affirmations are a powerful tool just like the passport and can gain you entry into that happy place but you have to continue to chip away until you succeed. Introduce affirmations into your life in non-intrusive ways such as listening to affirmations while driving or walking.

Speak affirmations out loud a few times before leaving the house for the day and do the same at night before going to bed. When you catch yourself being negative counteract it with a positive affirmation. Keep training yourself to be happy. Happiness comes from happy thoughts so think on happy thoughts.

A passport can take you places. With a passport you can travel all over the world and see things you would never normally see. Affirmations can do the same, affirmations can take you places and help you see things in a totally different light. It is when seeing things in a different light that you start to see opportunity when it presents itself and reach greater heights then ever before.

You only get to the top of the ladder by starting to climb from the bottom rung. If you are at that bottom rung then today is the day to start climbing. It doesn’t take long to get to the top once you start but you must start. Start using those affirmations today, treat them as your passport and whip them out just like you were passing through customs to the land of happiness.

A Virtual Book is an electronic book. Unlike a physical book a Virtual Book is a digital product that can be downloaded to your computer.

All of my virtual books are delivered in PDF format so if you are familiar with PDF documents then a virtual book is almost identical.

So why would you order one of my virtual books instead of a paper back version?

Advantages of a Virtual Book…

1. Cheaper: With all of my paper back books there is an expensive fulfillment process involved to get the book published, produced, printed and so on. While the paper back versions are better in my opinion and make fantastic gifts because of the production costs they are much more expensive then the virtual books which have almost zero production costs.

2. No Shipping: Depending on where you live in the world shipping a physical book can sometimes cost more then the book itself whereas virtual books have no shipping costs whatsoever.

3. Instant Download: Another benefit of virtual books is that you get them almost immediately after you pay as opposed to a physical book that can take weeks to arrive.

4. Can Be Printed: All of my virtual books are downloadable to your own computer. You can read them on the computer or print them out on your own printer. Another advantage of a virtual book is that you can just print selected pages if you prefer and not the entire book.

By putting off, therefore discarding, letting go, getting rid of certain things in our life and putting on other better things we can experience wonderful change for the better. We need to put off the things that are preventing us from living a fulfilled and happy life and put on (therefore replace them with) the things that will bring true peace and happiness.

One technique is to find a quiet time and visualize the removal of the bad things leaving your mind empty and then replace the emptiness with the good things.

Visualize if you will that you are throwing away each of the following items. Visualize taking them one by one to the rubbish bin, visualize opening the lid of the bin and throwing away each item, visualize closing the lid of the bin and walking away leaving the bad items thrown out of your life.

The Bible in Colossians 3:8 says to put off the following things:

  • Anger
  • Wrath
  • Malice
  • Blasphemy
  • Filthy communication
  • Lies

So let’s start with the first one:

Let’s throw away our anger. Visualize your anger, any temper, any violent emotion and see yourself walking outside to your rubbish bin. Open the lid of the bin and now throw those items in the rubbish. Take a good long hard stare at that rotten anger that is now in amongst all of your other household rubbish within the bin, take one final look at it and now close the lid of the bin. It is gone. Now visualize yourself walking back inside to where you are now leaving the anger behind.

Repeat that visualization technique slowly and methodically to throw away all of the other items.
You will one by one now take to the bin and throw away any wrath, fierceness or indignation you might have. Good riddance to bad rubbish! Now take to the bin all malice, ill will, desire to injure or any thoughts of revenge and get rid of them too. Now for blasphemy, slander, or any type of injurous speaking about someone… that’s not who you are.. you don’t gossip or run other people down… throw that stuff in the bin too and walk away from it. Now it’s time to get rid of filfthy communications, foul speaking, obscene speech, take it to the bin and throw it away. Now finally let’s get rid off lies… great all that stuff we have now put off. They are in the bin with all the other rubbish, the lid is closed and we have left them behind.

Wow it feels so much better having thrown those things away. Now let’s replace them with some really life changing things that will give us happiness. In Colossians 3 the Bible provides some great stuff for us to put on.

  • Mercy
  • Kindness
  • Humility
  • Meekness
  • Longsuffering
  • Forbearance
  • Forgiveness
  • Charity

So now having thrown away all of the negative stuff let’s imagine our minds are now empty and ready to be filled with happiness. Let’s start putting on mercy, allow compassion and pity to fill your being. Now let’s top that up with kindness, goodness and integrity. It feels good doesn’t it?

Now let’s put on humility and modesty, meekness, gentleness, mildness. Now let’s put on longsuffering, patience, endurance, perseverance with the desire to forbear others, to want ot help them, sustain them and hold them up. Now put on forgiveness, charity, affection, good will and brotherly kindness.

Practice throwing away and discarding the things that hold you back and replacing them with the things that make you feel good.
