Too many people give up on affirmations too quickly. They get excited about writing their affirmations and then reciting them every day. But after a while the excitement rubs off and they start to see their daily affirmations as a chore. Once this happens, they may as well forget about the whole thing.

Most people do not know the true benefits that affirmations can provide. They fail to see the “bigger picture” and are not aware of the long-term benefits of using affirmations. So, in this article we want to tell you about the real benefits of using affirmations so that it will motivate you to keep going with them.

Affirmations will help to Control your Thoughts

If you want to make any significant changes in your life then you have to control your thoughts. Human beings experience many thousands of thoughts every day and some of these will be negative. If you experience a negative thought too many times then there is a good chance that you will form a limiting belief around this.

What thoughts come to mind when you think about money? Do you think that you are lacking when it comes to money? Most people do. They experience thoughts of lack anytime they think about money. What they are doing here is reinforcing to their subconscious mind that lacking money is the way it should be for them.

By identifying the limiting beliefs and continual negative thought spirals that you experience you can create a set of affirmations to counteract these. Initially they will neutralize the negative thoughts and then over time they will instill new empowering beliefs that you have an abundance of money for example.

Please understand that your thoughts are responsible for who you are today and what you do and don’t have in your life. This can be your financial situation, your health, your relationships and so on. Thoughts lead to actions. Control your thoughts and you will transform your life.

Motivate yourself with Affirmations

When you have a great list of affirmations you can use them more than once a day. Reading your affirmations first thing in the morning is great because it will get you off to a great start for the day. But don’t limit yourself to a single reading.

Anytime that you need additional motivation to do something you can read your affirmations to provide it. If you have created the right affirmations then you can keep your demons at bay and follow through with the required action.

Change your Inner Voice to Positive

Have you ever gone to do something and a voice in your head has told you not to do it? Of course you have. This was your inner voice trying to protect you. Your inner voice is very powerful and it has the ability to help you or hold you back. For most people, their inner voices hold them back in life.

If you keep hearing from your inner voice that you cannot do something then you are likely to give up trying. But the good news is that you can train your inner voice to support you rather than hold you back. The best way to achieve this is through the use of daily affirmations.
