What is the most effective Affirmation?
Discover Émile Coué, a visionary French pharmacist and psychologist born in 1857. His pioneering work in suggestion and auto-suggestion laid the foundation for the Coué Method—a powerful technique to reprogram the subconscious mind through positive affirmations and imagination.
Central to Coué's approach is his famous mantra: "Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better." This affirmation when repeated daily opens the potential for gradual, positive transformation by reprogramming the subconscious mind. The emphasis in the wording of the affirmation is on the process of changing to the better outcome instead of affirming something you want or you don’t want in your life. By daily affirming improvement through positive suggestions, you can gradually shape your beliefs and behaviours towards the desired outcome.
The most effective time to state an affirmation is when you are in a calm and relaxed state. When you are calm and relaxed you can easily reach the subconscious mind where all your emotions, values, habits and beliefs are stored. The subconscious mind does not discriminate between positive and negative suggestions but acts upon whatever is consistently impressed upon it. Therefore, the repetition of positive affirmations becomes a potent tool for reshaping deeply ingrained thought patterns and limiting beliefs and allows you to adopt a positive, constructive outlook on life.
