Creating Vibrational Truths- Affirmations

Creating Vibrational Truths- Affirmations 

 This blog post is a creation to elaborate and further dive into the in-between process I mentioned in my video on Affirmations http://youtu.be/MCKiyVIYELE

This has to do with authenticity rather than faking it until you make it .

Exampleville

So, if one decides they want to be a confident person but, feels very insecure and has extreme self confidence issues . Jumping in with an affirmation that " I am a confident person " may not be the best way or  the  quickest way to benefit from affirmations. Weather it would benefit you some or actually be detrimental I think is circumstantial .

 It may not feel good to do that , it may feel like lying to yourself, it may exasperate the gap between your current experience and the future one you've decide to embrace by altering your confidence level .

So, comes the middle road. The bulk of the blog - Creating vibrational truths. 

If you can find an affirmation ( and affirm- a - tion by the way means to affirm re-enforce something is true ) that is an improvement to your current vibrational belief or thought and feeling and you believe it  to be true  you have stepped on this path .

There are a number of ways to get in touch with yourself and find out if you believe the statements or not but, it really always boils down to getting in touch with your inner-self and listening to yourself.

Nonetheless, I'm going to give you one possible formula/ exercise you could use.

Write down the negative thought, belief, or feeling you want to change 

Examples: 
I am not successful
I feel like a loser
Now beside It write down what you want to feel , think, believe / What the affirmation might be if you weren't choosing the middle road
Examples:
 I am successful,
I am a great success
I am a winner
Now, ask yourself what  you felt and what you thought when you wrote that .

 If it felt true , a relief and an uplifting sensation maybe that's the affirmation to use after all .

If it didn't, try to move up the scale from the original statement (of
:Ex.  I am not successful , I feel a loser )

Examples:
I have a record of successes and failures
My successes may actually out number my failures I wasn't keeping a written record
At times I am very successful
I am successful at _________

 Choose what resonates with you most and you see as true and use that

You could also look online and elsewhere for affirmations that ring true and apply to your situation / resonate with you . 

You are now exiting Exampleville :

Just some Additional personal thoughts on this topic 
 It doesn't feel good for most of us when we realize we are being lied to and so, if we perceive ourselves to be being lied to by ourselves that probably feels like crap to a part of us !

If our perceived reality differs from our affirmation ( probably truer the wider the gap) We create  a split within to allow for distrust of the self. The self distrusting the self- see there's got to be a split .

 This is not healthy or useful obviously .
