How We Use Sounds For Daily Affirmations

By Harold C. Rehm


In our normal every day lives we often use sounds for daily affirmations without even realizing that this is what we're doing! In the car you may have your favourite track playing on the stereo. Even though it's music, it's still sound even though it's been formed into a structure that we identify as music.The essential thing is that we are using the sounds to help us feel good. It's a trigger to give us that boost of euphoria we need in order to face the day. It can lift us from the lowest mood to the highest peak of exhilaration, depending on exactly what fires our own emotions. Hence some people get a great thrill jumping about and listening to heavy metal - while the neighbour next door could be burying into the pillow at the constant thump, thump, thump of the drums. My father used to cry tears of joy listening to Messiaen's organ music while I used to cry tears of pain.

Affirmations are powerful so you must remember to use your words carefully. Choose words that are in complete alignment with you and what you want, choose only positive phrases and affirm them in the here and now by using words such as "I am" and "I have".

To reinforce positive words, we use as affirmations we can use them against a backdrop of music or sounds that have a positive effect on us. For some it will be Beethoven's powerful music. Others will prefer the dulcet tones of Enya. Still more will want to relax to the sound of waves lapping on the shore.

Affirmations, like any personal growth exercise, take repeated practice. In order to feel differently, you must think differently. Affirmations allow you to think about yourself in a new way. Positive affirmations are like a reset button, allowing you to dismiss the thoughts or beliefs that don't enrich your vision of who you are.

Men are expected, by most people, to be strong and commanding in virtually all aspects of their life. Have you ever wondered how some of these men seem to stand out among their peers? The use of positive daily affirmations is the most likely reason for this. By using and practicing these affirmation tips, men in today's society are more in control of everything around them. Here are some tips to help make positive daily affirmations work for any man that you may know.

The first thing to realize is that positive daily affirmations are designed to sit in your subconscious mind. They aren't things that you will want to dwell on during the day, you want them to sit tucked away where you won't see them constantly, at least where you know about. They are designed to reside under the top layers of your brain, in order to reprogram the way that your mind views things.

A few decades ago, television advertising gurus decided to work on subliminal messages. You would be happily watching a show on the television and a picture of a hamburger from a major chain would pop up on the screen and go away so fast that the mind wouldn't even register that it happened. However, the subconscious mind did see it. Your subconscious could take that picture and dwell on it, causing your active mind to crave that hamburger. Actively, you never knew where you got the idea from in the first place, you just knew it was something you wanted and craved. Positive daily affirmations are the same way. They sit in your subconscious mind, where they slowly spread to the rest of your mind.

An important fact to note is that positive daily affirmations, in and of them selves, do not make you a lot of money, or make you physically look better by offering you plastic surgery. Instead, affirmations change the way you view the things around you in order to make you see that you are as your mind says you are. If you have less than $100 in your bank account, but are scraping by, paying your bills, and generally surviving, you can program your mind to see this as being wealthy. Obviously, by most people's standards, you aren't rich at all. Because you have been saying in your positive daily affirmations that you are rich and comfortable, your mind sees it that way though. You see that overall, you are happy with the situation you may be in. This is why some people who have less money will often seem more positive about their life than someone with a lot of money already.

Daily affirmations are available in many places (online, in books), but the more personal they are, the more effective they will be. This is why we encourage you to write your own. It's easier than you might think. First, grab a paper and a pen. Write down what you are unhappy with, or what you would like to change in your life. Then, write in present tense what would make you happy. This might look something like, "I hate being broke," and then, "I am financially secure and happy." If you have trouble with this, start simple and short. You can always edit your statement later on to be more specific. "I am happy," is a fine beginning.

As you can see, there is much more to positive daily affirmations than just reading a few "feel good" books. You must understand that all of the work takes place in your subconscious mind, and that they require no further overt help from you. When the affirmations seep into your mind, your mind will do the rest, causing you to see the results but not have to work so hard for them. That is how your positive daily affirmations will help you change the world, one mind at a time.
