Afformations is a powerful way to program our subconscious mind and modify our belief system so that we can achieve network marketing success. It is often stated that the most important component of our network marketing success is our belief system or mindset.
To a great extent, our beliefs determine our actions and therefore our life. But what determines our beliefs. It starts with eternal influences, the people around us. From infancy we are told what we are or who we are. We are identified ethnically (we are white or we are black, or brown) educationally (no one in our family ever went to college), behaviorally (don’t be silly, act your age), financially (money doesn’t grow on trees). So we grow up with a set of images and beliefs that determine our actions as an adult.
But wait! Do we have to accept that early programming? How can we change it? The traditional teaching has been affirmations. Repeating a set of statement about what we want to be instead of what we presently think we are. For example, “I am rich” repeated over and over until it is drilled into our subconscious mind. But affirmations don’t work for many people. Our brain chatter keeps saying,” no you’re not” and interferes with the acceptance of our affirmations.
I personally call it “Monkey chatter”. The monkeys between our ears chatter at us, confuse the message and negate the affirmation. The result is many people use affirmations continuously, but see a rather poor result, nothing changes.
Enter afformations! Invented by Noah St. John, afformations turn the statement into a question. So instead of “I am wealthy” we might ask ourselves, “Why am I so wealthy” This bypasses the monkey chatter and sets into motion the problem solving portion of our brain that seeks solution to questions. Why am I so wealthy causes us to focus on what we already have instead of what we lack.
So when I ask, “Why am I so wealthy” my brain can respond with, well, I live in a nice house, I have a car, I walk to the kitchen, turn on the faucet and out comes clean water, I have a refrigerator, it has food in it. I have a car and it has gas. There is food on the shelves of the grocery store. I have my spouse or significant other, my children and so on. You get the picture. We all have ample reason to feel wealthy but sometimes we lose sight of those reasons. Afformations can help.
According to Noah ST. John, there are four steps in the affirmation process. They are:
- Ask yourself what you want
- Form a question that assumes what you want is already true
- Let your mind search for the answer
- Take new actions based on your new assumptions about life
It all begins with a vision of who we want to become. If we do not know what we want, then we will never get. In his great book, “The Success Principles” Jack Canfield reminds us that the reason many people do not get what they want is they don’t know what it is”. Do you know what you want? Are you sure?
Do you have vision for your life 3 to 5 years from now that is congruent with your core values and your major mission in life. Do you even know what your major mission or purpose in life is? If you have been struggling for years with that question, “Why am I here” I can help!
