Why Affirmations and Visualizations do not Always Seem to Work

A lot of people work with affirmations and visualizations to reprogram their subconscious mind because it has become public knowledge by now that these things actually work.

Every top athlete in the world works with affirmations and visualizations, and a lot of other things too, of course, but they would not do it if it did not work.

Now the question is, why do affirmations and visualizations not always get the results people want? Why do many people complain that it is not working?

Well, here is the missing link.

1: First, most people don’t realize that every thought we think, every feeling we feel, every word we speak, and every action we take is an affirmation. Hence, everyone is doing affirmations and visualizations every moment of their lives. They are affirming fear and lack all day long without realizing it, and then they wonder why in their life all they see is lack and fear.

So it IS working but they are not aware of EVERY thought, feeling, emotion and action being an affirmation – not just the affirmations we consciously spend 5 minutes doing in the morning and in the evening.

2: Secondly, most people are not aware of all the programming that currently exists in their subconscious mind from this lifetime and all their past lives, which is functioning as an affirmation and visualization already pre-programmed into the subconscious from the past.

So if you want your affirmations and visualizations to work, you first have to clean out your subconscious. If you try to program the thought of abundance into your consciousness, but you are still running a poverty program on a subconscious level, it won’t work. The subconscious poverty program will cancel out the abundance program you are trying to affirm.

3: And thirdly, most people do not have total mastery over their thoughts, feelings, emotions, lower self desires, and inner child, and are not thinking with their Spiritual love-based mind at all times; instead, most of the time they are thinking with their negative ego/fear-based mind.

So what happens is, people use positive affirmations and visualizations, which is good, however, they are having to counteract an enormous amount of programming that is already functioning as a subtle affirmation and visualization in their subconscious, and they also have to counteract all the daily self-talk which is this inner dialogue that goes on all day long in our consciousness and which, unfortunately, is fear-based most of the time too.

So working with affirmations and visualizations definitely helps, but be sure to also clean out your subconscious mind and to master your conscious thinking, and work on gaining full mastery over your daily thinking, feeling, speaking, acting and doing.

Please think about it. Hope I could be of service to you today. Have a great day. Bye.
