Using Questions Instead of Positive Affirmations

After our two earlier articles about using your unconscious mind to get what you want and phrasing the question correctly, a lady emailed to ask what is the difference between this and her positive affirmations.

Although positive affirmations can work to some degree, I would say that the questions approach works better because positive affirmations include some sort of presupposition about your present state.

For example, when you repeat to yourself ‘I am a confident person’, you are saying it is already done so your unconscious mind has no work to do.  However, when you change that to ‘How can I become a more confident person?’ then the unconscious mind has to find answers to that question.

Everything you say to yourself is heard, so as we’ve repeated several times, make sure your questions are positive and clear.  Then, when you get what you want, remember to say thank you.
