역발상

고전 동기유발 중에서, 물론 요즈음도 아주 많이 판매되고, 강의되어지는,

자기 긍정이라는 것이 있다. 이를테면 '나는 부자다''나는 부자다'를

자기자신이그렇다고 확 믿어질 때까지 계속 암송하는 것이다.

잠재의식을 통한 의식이 '그래 넌 부자다'라고 대답할 때까지 하는 것이다.

물론 이것 역시도 상당한 효력을 발휘한다. 그러나 대부분은 실패한다.

전체 오감육감까지 다 푹 젖어들도록 암송을하지 않았기에

잠재의식이 주인이 진정 원하고 바라는 것이 무엇인지를 몰라

생각 즉의식하는마음에서 그 신념을 픽업하여긍정적 신념의 파장을

현실 속에서 실제적 실물로 못나타내는것 이다.

그러나 이것이 이뤄지지않는 절대적 이유는 '나는 부자다'라는 암송을하면서도

암송하는 주체인 자신이 자기에게는 불가능하다고 스스로 믿고 있는 그 어떤 것을

자기가 믿도록 억지 확신을 시킬려고 하니 이것은 일어나지 않는 공염불이 된다.

인간의 마음은 항상 무언가를묻고 또 그 질문에대한 대답을 찾는 과정을 진행하는

반복의 연속이다.하늘이 왜 푸른가라고 묻는다면 그대 마음은

하늘이 푸를 수 밖에 없는 수많은 이유들을 찾기 시작할 것이다.

인간의 마름이 무언가를 묻고 그 문제에 대한대답을 찾고 구하는 그런 과정을 되풀이

진행하는것이라면 굳이 '나는 부자다'라는 억지 주입행위 대신에 '난 왜 부자인가'라는

질문을 던짐으로 부자인많은 긍적적 이유들을찾도록 유도한다면 내면에선

긍정적인 마음자세가 형성되며 혁명적 변화가 일어난다.

이런 질문을 받을 때 의식은 즉시부정적인태도에서 벗어나 완전히 달라진

시각태도로 긍정적인 해답을 찾는 긍정적 마인드로변해 완전히 다른 새사람 된다.

여기 이런 류의 작전에서 키는 화려한 멋진 대답이 아니다.

자신의 권위와 자신감과 확신과 풍요와 우수함을 스스로가만족할 수 있도록 만드는

애매하지않고분명한 질문을 자신에게 던지는 것이다.

"왜 내가 부자인가"라는 질문을 자신에게 던지면

자신의 의식은 의식적으로자신이 부자인긍적인 이유들을 찾기 시작한다.

부자인이유, 긍적인 사실개념들을 잠재의식은 아, 이게 주인님의 원하는 바로구나 생각하여

즉시 생각의식으로부터 그런 긍정적 사실을 픽업하여 점점 부자로 만들어가게 된다.

문제는 생각이다. 생각이 긍정적인 마음가짐, 마음의 자세만 형성되어지면

그 때부터 성공목표는 무한의 능력, 잠재의식에의해 알게 모르게, 의식중이거나 무의식중에라도

계속 이룩되어지고 성취되어지고 풀려지기 시작한다.

생각을 바꾸면 세상이 달라진다

Traditional success teachers are big advocates of "affirmations" - repeating statements that you'd like to be true. For example, a classic "affirmation" is: "I am rich."

Okay. Try it. Say "I am rich."

What just happened? Did youhear a voice in your head that said: "Yeah, right!"?

The problem with "affirmations" is that they don't work for most people. Why? Because you're trying to convince yourself of something you don't really believe.

Have you ever been persuaded to try "affirmations"... and then had... absolutely nothing happen?

Me too. And about a billion other people.

One morning in April 1997, I was taking a shower and thinking about how the human mind is always in the process of asking and seeking the answers to questions. For example, if I were to ask you "Why is the sky blue?", your mind would start searching for the answer.

So I asked myself a logical question: "If the human mind is always asking and searching for the answers to questions, why are we told to repeat positive statements we don't believe? Instead, why don't we ask ourselves empowering questions - questions that will force us to change our thought patterns from negative to positive in order to answer them?"

Take a statement like "I am rich" - to which the brain replies "Yeah, right!" What's the empowering question you should be asking instead?

That question might look something like this: "Why am I so rich?"

Try it. Ask yourself "Why am I so rich?"

Do you know what your brain is doing right now? Searching for a positive answer to that question!

The staggering realization I made that morning in April 1997 was that you create your reality in two ways: by the statements you say to yourself and others, and by the questions you ask yourself and others. Until then, no one had fully realized, or shown how to harness, the awesome power of what happens when you change your questions.

I named my discovery The Afformations Method.

The 4 Steps to Creating Afformations That Change Your Life

Step 1: Ask yourself what you want.

You can use a goal you've previously written down, or start from scratch. You decide.

Please note that traditional success teachers stop right here. They tell you to "set your goals" and then say "affirmations" in an attempt to convince your brain that you will have what you want... sometime, somehow, somewhere.

Let's use Brandon from Utah as an example. He wanted to make more money doing something he loved. He was an insurance salesman who'd spent $30,000 on every "how to succeed" program out there, with no results. So for his goal, he wrote: "I want to be all I can be in life."

Now, the breakthrough step...

Step 2: Form a QUESTION which assumes that what you want is already true.

Forming a question which assumes that what you want is already true is the key to creating Afformations that change your life.

Your life is a reflection of the subconscious assumptions you make. That's why Step 2 of The Afformations Method is to change your communication with the world inside yourself. Afformations are the fastest, most effective way I've ever seen to immediately change your communication with the world inside of you AND the world outside of you.

So Brandon began afforming: "Why am I allowed to be, do, and have all that I want in life?"

Step 3: Give yourself to the question.

The point of Afformations is not to find "the answer" but to ask better questions. When you ask better questions, your mind automatically begins to focus on what you have as opposed to what you don't have.

Once Brandon began to afform what he wanted, his mind automatically began to search for the answer. He started doing things a little differently and talking to people with new confidence.

Which brings us to Step 4 of The Afformations Method - the one you MUST do to get optimum results...

Step 4: Take new ACTIONS based on your new assumptions about life.

Even though Brandon had spent thousands of dollars on every "how to succeed" program out there, he subconsciously assumed they wouldn't work for him. So they didn't.

After reading my book, he realized that this was what was keeping him from what he wanted. So he began to take new action on the very programs that had not worked for him.

He began calling more people. He followed up with more confidence. By focusing on what he had instead of what he lacked, positive results naturally followed.

Once Brandon followed the four steps of The Afformations Method, his sales tripled in 30 days. In less than nine months, his income increased 560 percent and he was named Agent of the Year.

The point of Afformations is not to find "the answer," but to change your questions. When you follow The Afformations Method, you will form empowering questions that immediately change your subconscious assumptions.

For example, Andrea had been trying to get pregnant for more than a year but had a huge mental block. She thought she didn't deserve it, her body couldn't do it, and so on. After her psychologist told her about Afformations, Andrea began asking herself "Why do I conceive so easily?" and "Why am I so fertile?" Within a month, she had a positive pregnancy test. Now she's asking herself, "Why do I carry my babies full term?", "Why am I free from morning sickness?", and all kinds of questions that are making her feel great during her pregnancy.

"Change your thoughts and you change your world."
