I don't always feel up to saying positive affirmations. Having them recorded would make it so much easier to do. Thanks for that great tip Jerry. What a great idea!

Hearing positive messages in someone else's voice is not very convincing to your subconscious mind, and even hearing them silently in your own voice (i.e. just repeating the phrases to yourself silently) is nowhere near as powerful as hearing them, audibly, in your own voice. A couple of other pointers: speak the phrases in the present tense (creates a cognitive dissonance for your mind to work with), and speak them in a convincing, passionate, enthusiastic tone of voice. Eventually, you'll want to wean yourself off the recording and replace it with saying the affirmations to yourself in the mirror...that's still the most effective way to embed the new beliefs. Until then, though, this method will help you create the habit of doing affirmations on a daily basis. Thanks for the comment Joel! That’s not just part of the power…that’s all of it!
