Why Daily Affirmations Are One Of The Crucial Keys To Success

Repeating A Statement Over & Over?

I had heard about daily affirmations probably all my life, however, I really did not take them seriously and I didn’t understand why they would work.  It didn’t make any sense to me why repeating a phrase over and over again would actually make it come true.   It was only after I entered the network marketing industry and decided to be “teachable”, did I start to understand why daily affirmations were imperative to my success.

Quantum Physics Convinced Me

I actually did a lot of research and study to convince my left brain why and how daily affirmations work.  After studying Quantum Physics, I learned that my thoughts create how I feel, and how I feel determines what I do, and what I do created my results!  Then when my results were great, I had even better thoughts and I was even more excited.  Then if I had excited thoughts, I felt excited, which created excited actions, which created exciting results!!  Wow, that was simple! 😯

Change Thoughts Pro-Actively

Here’s a diagram we created to see how this works if we want to change our thoughts pro-actively:

Most of my life, I was in a re-active mode because I didn’t understand how this process worked.  I used to have the same thoughts everyday, which created the same feelings, which created the same action, which created the same results!  Then when I was not happy with the results, I would be sad, and this repeated over and over again in my life.  I believe it was Albert Einstein who said “The definition of Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results”.

It Really Works

One of the things I used to say to myself and others was “when I sniff food, I gain 5 lbs”!  Well, no wonder I had a big problem with food and my weight. (click on this link to read about my history with food)  Once I solved my weight challenge, I realized I was saying “no matter what I eat, I can’t gain an ounce”, and it’s true today, I don’t gain any weight no matter what I eat!!  Hmmm 😆

It sounds too simple huh?  However, please try it because it works like crazy!  I started to write new affirmations and say them over and over and over!  I would put signs up all over my house and in my car until the affirmations would run in my subconscious automatically.  They really work and over the years, so many of my affirmations have come true!

Try It

So, here’s something to try, pick one trait or thing you want to change and write an affirmation statement.  For example, “I am a great leader, I am a great speaker, I am healthy, etc”.  Write it down on a card and put it in your wallet.  Print signs with your statement on it and post it in areas where you will see it many times daily. Say your affirmations at least every hour and any other time you remember.  Soon, it will be a recording in your mind and it will just go off anytime you are not consciously thinking of something.  Then watch what happens over time!  One day you’ll wake up and see that you have become your affirmation!  It’s really cool!  The key is consistency each and every day until the affirmation becomes a habit to your subconscious.

Another Affirmation Tool

Here’s another way I would help myself to affirm specific traits.  I would find videos or audios which would assist me with my thoughts.  Here’s an example of one of my favorites.  Watch it in higher definition if you can, take 3 long deep breaths before you start, and see how you feel as you relax and just take the message in:

Your Feelings Affect Your Results

Doesn’t that make you feel pretty good?  It is programming your thoughts with abundant affirmations, which then create abundant feelings, which will create abundant actions, which will create abundant results!

Learning Web 3.0 For Your Home Based Business

Home Based Network Marketing Industry Changing Forever

When I was first told by one of my mentors and good friend, Ellie Drake, that the Internet was changing and that the home based network marketing business industry would be changing forever, I was not ready for the change.  I tried to study and absorb however, nothing was going into my brain and I was quite overwhelmed! 😯   This was in 2007 and I was not ready to learn this whole new language on the web.  Today, it’s obvious that the world is changing and the web is growing at an exponential rate, far beyond any one’s imagination!

I can see today that these technological changes have advanced communication and will change the way we all interact forever.  Once I was ready to learn this new “foreign” language, I began to get fascinated at how much growth the social networks were achieving.  I realized that if I decided to learn this new language from step 1, I would get to step 2, then 3, then 4, etc.  Confucius said “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step“.

A New Language And New Skills

It was a new way of communicating just like the Internet when it was first introduced in the late 90s.  I struggled with that too, as I had learned most of my network marketing skills by talking, or using the telephone.  Gosh, I’m aging myself huh? 😆  Yes, we built most of our business before Web 1.0!  There was no Internet in 1995. 😉  We are still learning, however, each day we are learning so many new and innovative ways to communicate with people around the world.  When you own a home based business, you communicate with many people.  In fact, the more people you communicate with, the faster your home business thrives.  So, learning this “new” language is essential (in my humble opinion) to a home based business owner.

Believe me, I know how you feel, I felt the same way, until I discovered so many resources to learn from and they are all free today!  You can watch videos, read blogs, listen to podcasts, tune in to webinars, conference calls, etc. to learn Web 2.0 and 3.0 for your home based business.  Thank you to all the contributors who so freely share their knowledge and wisdom with everyone! 🙂

I have posted a few simple videos from commoncraft (thank you commoncraft) which will give you your Step 1:

1) What is the World Wide Web (www)?

2) Why is Social Networking so powerful?

3) What are Blogs & why is everyone writing one?

4) What’s an RSS and what’s that orange button on the blogs?

5) Why is Social Media so powerful in communicating with so many people around the world?

Pretty simple huh?  I love these videos because anyone can understand them!

How Social Networking Is Word Of Mouth Communication

Social-Network-and-Home-Based-Network-Marketing-Business-150x150Social Networking And Home Based Business

Social Media isn’t a fad, it’s a fundamental shift in the way we communicate with each other.  When I was first introduced to social networking, I thought it was just for the “young” people and that it was just fun and games.  We have been in the home based network marketing business industry since 1995 and we had built most of our business without the internet. So when the internet was introduced to us, we took a while to get used to Web 1.0 – email, and all of the websites.  It worked pretty well, until I was introduced to Facebook by Shannon Tecson, one of our leaders in Hawaii.  She insisted more than once (thank goodness for her persistence) that I take a look and then she started to “monetize” from her Facebook page, and that got my attention.

I have to admit, I was a little slow to understand how incredible this new tool was.  As I started to connect with more people around the world, I realized how powerful this could be for relationships and business.  One of the reasons I love being in my home based business is that everyone in our business became my family.  All of the people we do business with are our friends and our family, because we all love what we do, therefore we share it with everyone we know.  A lot of our business comes from “Word of Mouth” because of how we look, how we feel, and the freedom we all have.  People want to look and feel the way we feel, and have the freedom of working at home, so they become a part of our business too.

As we began getting excited about the exponential growth of the internet from Web 1.0 to 2.0 and now to 3.0, we realized that social networking is word of mouth communication with a huge advantage.  We can now talk to the world!  It now has become a global “world of mouth” communication, which is really referral marketing.  If people like how they look and how they feel, and, if they feel good about you and your company, they tell others about you, your product and your company.  Wow, what a concept?  And technology has made communication around the world possible for free!

I am so grateful to companies like Facebook and Skype who have revolutionized the way we all connect with each other.  I have made so many friendships with people in many different countries whom I would have never met if it were not for these emerging technologies.  I just love it! 😆

The world has changed forever.  We are now able to have family and friends all over the world whom we have never met in person, and yet we are able to connect with them on such an intimate level.  We are all so fortunate to experience this evolution during this time when the whole world will become One!

Enjoy the exciting videos on social media:
