manifest your desires faster this way i'm going  to explain the different types of affirmations you  

can use and answer common questions like how many  affirmations should you have how many times a day

and if you need some extra help or my personal  advice for your situation coaching is now open  

you can find the links for all of those things  in the description below alright so let's start  

with the different types of affirmations that  you can use to manifest your desires the first  

and most common type of affirmation is the I AM  affirmation this is the type of affirmation that  

starts with the words i am for example i am rich  i am loved i am secure in my relationship i am  

fit i am thin so you start with the words i am  and then you follow those words with whatever it  

is that you want to manifest in your reality  i am affirmations are very powerful because i  

am means that this is part of your identity it's  not about having something it's about who you are  

who you are as a person and as Neville Goddard  says you manifest who you are not what you want  

you manifest who you are on the inside so if on  the inside you are a person who is easy to love  

then you will manifest a life where people  love you if on the inside you feel wealthy  

then you will manifest wealth and riches in your  reality the second type of affirmation that is  

also very very common is affirmations that start  with gratitude so in those affirmations you start  

your sentence you start your affirmation with the  words i'm very thankful that i am grateful that  

and then you follow this with whatever it is  that you want to manifest for example i am very  

grateful that i have this amazing high paying  job that makes me high six figures every year  

where this job is not something you have it  is something that you're manifesting through  

the use of this affirmation here's why we do this  the reason we start with gratefulness is because  

this implies that this is already yours and the  feeling of gratitude actually makes you feel this  

gratitude when you say i'm so grateful that that  immediately puts you into the emotional frame  

of feeling grateful and we're used to feeling  grateful for things that we already have not for  

things that we're going to get some vague moment  in the future so by stating your affirmations like  

that basically being thankful that you already  have the thing that implies that the thing is  

already yours whether the thing is a relationship  a job money a car a trip free tickets to a concert  

or whatever it is that you want to manifest  this is why this type of affirmation is powerful  

because it immediately puts you in the state of  the wish fulfilled and being in the state of the  

fulfilled is how you manifest any desire the  third type of affirmations that isn't that common  

but you can still encounter it is what is called  YOU affirmations those affirmations are exactly  

like the I AM affirmations but instead of being in  first person i am rich for example they are in you  

you are rich depending on your personality type  you affirmations can be more effective for you  

than i am affirmations or i m affirmations can be  more effective for you than you affirmations that  

depends on your personality type if you're the  type of person that when you make up your mind  

nobody can change it no matter how much authority  the person has you believe what you believe and  

that's the end of it and nobody can shake you out  of that belief you're probably going to do better  

with i am affirmations because you're wired to  accept your own opinion as more valid than other  

people's for your own life on the other hand if  you're the type of person who is more likely to  

change beliefs based on what an authority figure  tells you or if you want validation before you  

trust yourself so for example you feel that you  got what it takes to do something but unless  

your coach or your boss or somebody else tells you  that yes you do have what it takes to succeed you  

don't fully believe it you have to hear it from  somebody else in order to fully believe it then in  

that case you're probably going to do better with  you affirmations because that is what your mind  

accepts more easily somebody else telling you that  hey you're rich you're successful you are loved  

you are whatever it is that you want to do  whatever it is that you want to manifest in your  

reality if you don't know which personality type  is yours feel free to experiment with different  

sets of i m affirmations and new affirmations and  see which ones produce better results for you  

the fourth type of affirmations that you can use  to manifest are what is called afformations with  

an o instead of an i afformations i recently  had a video about afformations so if that's  

the first time you hear about them you can go  watch that video i'm going to link it up to  

the right and also in the description below for  you but basically afformations are affirmations  

in a question form as if what you want has already  manifested for example let's say that you want to  

manifest your dream house instead of affirming  i have my dream house or i'm so grateful to have  

my dream house what you do is you ask a question  that starts with how did i or why did i followed  

by the thing that you want to manifest for  example for the dream house you would ask  

why did i manifest such an amazing  house that is the house of my dreams  

or you can ask a question with how did i how  did i manifest my dream house so easily and fast  

the reason this works is because the question  form bypasses the filter of your mind that judges  

whether something is possible or impossible for  you because you're not affirming to get it you're  

affirming as if it's already yours and you're just  looking back and wondering how did this amazing  

thing happen so this for many people bypasses the  resistance that their conscious mind would usually  

have to manifesting this desire and that's why it  is very effective now that you know the different  

types of affirmations that you can use you're  probably wondering which type of affirmation  

works better and the answer is all of them work  what you have to do is figure out which type works  

better for you specifically because every person  is different and what may work perfectly well  

for your best friend may not be what produces  the best results for you so give them all a  

try experiment with them and you will figure out  which ones work the best for you now let's talk  

about how to actually use the affirmations that  you create in order to get the results that you  

want my recommended way that has worked the best  for me and the people i have coached is to write  

your affirmations in a list and read that list to  yourself for five to ten minutes three times a day  

every morning every evening and at some point  during the day whenever you have the time  

and some space to be able to concentrate on your  affirmations another way to use affirmations that  

i usually recommend not instead of but in addition  to reading your affirmations three times a day  

is to create a recording and loop that recording  so that it lasts several hours and then you can  

play that recording at low volume either as  background instead of music during the day  

while you're busy doing other tasks or while you  sleep at night the reason this works is because  

when you're not consciously concentrating on the  words but they keep playing in the background  

they enter your subconscious mind without your  conscious mind actually blocking them because  

your conscious mind is busy doing something else  like you're washing the dishes or you're ironing  

your clothes you're doing something and you have  the affirmations playing in the background so they  

enter your subconscious mind without basically  noticing it's the same way it works while you  

sleep while you sleep your subconscious mind  is very easily impressionable so if you play  

them while you sleep they will enter your  subconscious mind more easily but use this  

method in addition to reading your affirmations  during the day and not instead of the reason i  

recommend this is because those affirmations are  meant to create a different state of mind in you  

so you are going to want to know what those  affirmations are so that you can watch your mental  

diet during the day and when your mind goes to  something that doesn't support your manifestation  

you stop that train of thought and replace  what you were thinking with some of your  

affirmations so let's say for example that you're  manifesting a promotion and you have affirmations  

talking about how the promotion is yours and  how much you're enjoying the new position  

and the money you get and everything but  sometime during the day you catch yourself  

having thoughts around how your boss doesn't like  you how you're not likely to get that promotion  

if you have a ready list of affirmations about  that promotion it's easy to stop yourself  

and tell yourself you know what why am i thinking  this this is in the past this promotion is mine  

now i'm so grateful to have that promotion i'm  so grateful to have that great job position  

and you have those thoughts ready because those  thoughts are your affirmations you don't have to  

stop and think okay i'm thinking something  negative what can i put in the place of  

those negative thoughts you don't need to do that  because you already have the thoughts ready in the  

form of affirmations you just plug them into your  mind and lead your mind and your thoughts towards  

that reality the reality where that job that  promotion is already yours another very common  

question people ask is how many affirmations do  you need to have in order to manifest a desire and  

there is no set answer to that but generally if  you have more than a page of two of affirmations  

that's too long you don't need to have so  many affirmations that it feels like hard work  

if you have 10 pages of affirmations that is  going to take half an hour to get through all  

of those every morning and then in the evening and  sometime during the day and that's too much work  

you're soon going to regret having such a long  list and you will feel that this is hard work  

this takes up a lot of your time and you're  not going to want to do it after some point  

and you probably don't need that many affirmations  because it's better to have a few well-selected  

affirmations that target what is really stopping  you from getting what you want instead of having a  

huge list of very generic affirmations for example  let's say that you're manifesting a specific  

person and you and this person actually chat  there's no reason to have multiple affirmations  

about this specific person texting you or calling  you or whatever if this is something that already  

happens you already expect it you already believe  it there's no reason for that to be an affirmation  

somebody else who doesn't have any communication  with that person or they are dealing with a person  

that hates chatting on the phone or calling or  messaging maybe they need that affirmation but if  

you don't need it why is it there you don't have  to have it there just because other people have it  

or if for example you know that you sabotage  relationships because of some kind of insecurity  

but this insecurity doesn't have anything to do  with the way you look if you feel that you're hot  

and you're a catch in terms of the way you look  you don't need affirmations that say i'm beautiful  

i am a catch because you already believe that use  affirmations to rewire your mind and your beliefs  

around the things that actually need rewiring not  the things that are already believable for you  

another very common question that is actually  very much related to the previous one about how  

many affirmations to have is the question should i  concentrate on multiple manifestations in the same  

list of affirmations or only focus on one area  and what i highly recommend is that you focus  

on the thing that you're actually manifesting  right now now don't get me wrong you can be  

manifesting several different things at the same  time in your reality so if you're manifesting a  

promotion that doesn't mean that you cannot be  manifesting a specific person at the same time  

but usually affirmations are used to rewire your  mind and you cannot change a million different  

things in how your mind works at once so pick  the goal that is more important to you right now  

if your main concern is a specific person focus  on rewiring your mind when it comes to this  

specific person and how you feel about yourself  how you feel about relationships in other words  

keep your affirmations in that area of life  affirmations that deal with all the things that  

you need to manifest that specific person that can  be affirmations directly about the specific person  

like rewriting that specific person to change  their behavior they can also be affirmations  

around your own self-concept but don't inject  in their affirmations about the promotion you  

want the car you want the house you want focus on  one manifestation at the time with affirmations  

once you have that in place you can move on  and do the same for money or a job or a house  

or whatever else you want and that brings us to  another very common question many people ask me  

how long should i use affirmations for and when  should i stop using those affirmations do i stop  

when my desire starts manifesting do i stop after  i have it do i have to keep going in order for me  

not to lose the thing to keep it in my reality so  here's how this works for your mind to rewire it  

usually takes about a month most people start  seeing concrete and solid results from their  

affirmations in about two weeks of using them but  that depends on the situation and on who you are  

and how blocked you have felt in that area of  life so it can take a little less or a little  

more than two weeks but generally speaking if it's  been less than two weeks and you haven't had this  

huge shift in your reality that's completely  okay that's why we use affirmations every  

day because it is a process you don't read them  once and everything is changed in your mind now  

once you start seeing results you don't stop the  affirmations this is a mistake many people make  

unless this change solidifies in your mind and  it becomes your new normal where you don't have  

to persuade yourself that this thing is yours and  it makes sense for you to have it you need to keep  

using the affirmations because they maintain  the state of the fulfilled which allowed  

the thing to start coming into your reality and  will allow it to solidify and become fully yours  

and you won't have to worry about losing it  again if you stop too soon if for example  

you're affirming about a specific person coming  back and the person enters your life but you  

haven't been together for a while for you to make  sure that everything is the way you want it to be  

and you stop affirming it's very easy to fall back  in old patterns to start feeling insecure again  

to start fighting again so that's why you keep  affirming you keep affirming until you feel that  

you don't need to affirm because you already  believe those things if you've watched this far
