First, you immediately begin to notice circumstances and experiences that align with your intention - circumstances and experiences you would have likely not noticed absent your affirmation. Secondly, it acts as a command to your subconscious to bring about the circumstances and experiences that meet your intention.
As an example of how this can work, I share my journal entry for today about choosing to discover the hidden good in unwanted surprises and the two key questions to discover the hidden good in those unwanted surprises.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today's Affirmation: I choose to discover the hidden good in unwanted surprises.
As good as it is to experience pleasant surprises, true changes in perspective, new ideas, and new insights about ourselves and life are the fruits of unwanted surprises.
The Two Key Questions to Discover the Hidden Good in Unwanted Surprises
If we roll through our initial reactions and reach a state of acceptance of what is, we are then positioned to answer the two most important questions we can ask about unpleasant surprises:
- What is the hidden benefit of this experience?
- How can I use this experience in ways that improve my day, my life, and perhaps the world?
What Can I Do to Make This Choice a Reality?
We know from research that an affirmation is most effective when it's made before a charged event occurs. A properly formed affirmation sets in motion a positive mindset that acknowledges we have the right temperament, will, and ability to navigate any storm and turn it to our advantage.
The Secret is in the Questions
Questions focus attention and open the conscious and subconscious minds to new pathways, new perspectives, and new ways of seeing and being in the world.
Today, I choose to look at unwanted surprises as a precious gift wrapped in coarse unattractive paper.
Today, I choose to look beyond the wrapping to discover the gift waiting patiently to serve.
Today, I choose to discover the hidden good in unwanted surprises.
Why not have a go at journaling your thoughts, insights, and actions that emerge from this or another affirmation? It's fun and it's a powerful path to self-discovery.
