A lot of people write affirmations to
reinforce positive behaviors and attitudes that they have adopted to change and
improve their lives. I write affirmations, and I encourage my hypnotherapy
clients to do this as well.
The best time to write affirmations is
30 minutes after you wake up or 30 minutes before you drift off to sleep. These
times are important because this is when your subconscious mind is most
receptive to receive and process these messages. The subconscious mind does not know the difference
between fantasy and reality, negative and positive, so be sure to use positive imagery and words that will reinforce
your positive behaviors and attitudes. I also advise my clients to not watch or
listen to the news or any programs/broadcasts that may contain negative or
violent messages/imagery before bed.
