{"product_id":"2940012267184","title":"Affirmations for Success","description":"Affirmations are perhaps one of the most simple but powerful techniques available in Self Improvement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you can convince your subconscious mind that you are … whatever you want to be … then the results will follow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConfident people are, essentially, people who believe they are confident. And you can acquire that belief using Affirmations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Collins English Dictionary defines affirmation as: “A statement of the\u003cbr\u003etruth of something; assertion.”\u003cbr\u003eAffirmations are a powerful ingredient in positive thinking. They are not\u003cbr\u003estatements that you wish to be true; they are statements that you must believe\u003cbr\u003eare true.\u003cbr\u003eAffirmations are positive statements describing a desired condition in your\u003cbr\u003elife. That condition may not yet exist, but the affirmation is spoken as though\u003cbr\u003eit does. A simple example might be: “I am at peace with my life.” This is\u003cbr\u003erepeated several times on a daily basis, out loud or mentally, the aim being to\u003cbr\u003eprogram the subconscious mind into producing the desired outcome. They\u003cbr\u003emust be sincerely felt, and spoken in the present tense with conviction and\u003cbr\u003eenthusiasm.\u003cbr\u003eWe carry out such mental programming every day whether we know it or not;\u003cbr\u003ethe trick is to make this programming conscious and positive. The alternative\u003cbr\u003eis to be unaware that we are issuing negative affirmations to ourselves. If you\u003cbr\u003ehave ever made a mistake and muttered “I am such an idiot”, you have given\u003cbr\u003eyourself a negative affirmation. The problem is that any negative affirmation\u003cbr\u003eyou give enters your subconscious mind and has a harmful effect – it creates\u003cbr\u003eyour reality.\u003cbr\u003ePositive thinking as a popular psychology can be traced back to 1937, with\u003cbr\u003eNapoleon Hill’s bestselling Think and Grow Rich. This book remains\u003cbr\u003eimportant today, although there have been countless similar guides written in\u003cbr\u003ethe years since on the subject of positive thinking for personal success.\u003cbr\u003eMany books on positive thinking, like Think and Grow Rich, focus mainly on\u003cbr\u003ethe financial benefits to be gained from altering your thoughts. The reason for\u003cbr\u003ethis is obvious: it taps into the desire of so many people to become wealthy.\u003cbr\u003eWhilst this may be geared to capturing the public imagination, it may also\u003cbr\u003egive doubters and newcomers the wrong impression.","brand":"Lou Diamond","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145312059632,"sku":"2940012267184","price":1.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012267184_p0.jpg?v=1763554137","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012267184","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
