In my opinion, affirmations are one of the most brilliant yet underrated well-being tools available to us. It’s why I hand them out like sweeties to my friends & loved ones because I know they can help – and help fast!
So I’m certainly open to anything that can help make affirmations more powerful and effective. Why not get the absolute most from them? Recently, I was delighted to discover My Affirmation Tracks, an extremely simple to use but wonderfully helpful tool to supercharge your affirmations.
Before I share more on the tool (the all-important what, how and why), I want to give a little helpful background on affirmations and how they can help you…
What are affirmations?
Affirmations are positive statements that aim to guide your conscious and subconscious mind towards healthier thinking patterns when read or spoken. Essentially, they are a self-help technique to encourage positive changes in your mood, feelings, thoughts and habits.
Do affirmations work?
Yes, they can. There’s a fair amount of neuroscience and studies behind their efficacy. Through repeating the positive affirming statements, your mind can reprogram itself into accessing and believing what you’re saying.
What are the benefits of using affirmations?
Studies suggest affirmations help motivate you, focus you towards your goals, help you feel more positive, boost your confidence and self-esteem, lower stress levels and promote feelings of calm. Affirmations aid you in cultivating more hopeful thoughts about who you are and what you can achieve.
How can you make your affirmations more powerful?
Firstly, you need to pick positive affirming statements that resonate the most with you. The golden rule of affirmations is to declare what you want rather than what you don’t. For example, replace ‘I’m fed up being shy‘ with ‘I’m growing in self-confidence every day‘.
It also helps to repeat the affirmations daily; some suggest between 3-5 times each day. It’s the repetition that helps with the reprogramming.
Additionally, research has suggested, using recorded affirmations can enhance and make your affirmations more powerful, which is precisely where My Affirmation Tracks comes in.
What is My Affirmation Tracks?
My Affirmation Tracks is a combination of professionally recorded affirmation statements designed to focus your mind on exactly what you want to create and attract. You can set your selected affirmations to music, which helps bring them even more to life.
How does it work?
Simply select between 1 and 10 affirmations (a top tip on how to do this coming up!), then choose your music, be it relaxing or uplifting, to which your chosen affirmations are added on top. Checkout, and your track will arrive in your inbox within minutes. Click play, and enjoy.
Good to know: Adding music is optional.
How do they help make your affirmations more powerful and effective?
As studies suggest, affirmations are more effective when spoken aloud. My Affirmation Tracks provides this, but unlike other spoken affirmation tools, you get to pick exactly the affirmations you want to hear, the ones that crucially resonate with you the most, focusing your subconscious mind for better results.
Plus, the voice reading the affirmations is human, powerfully adding more energy and intention to each statement read.
Top Tip: Repeat the statement back as it’s read to you. By combining listening and speaking, you’re going to internalise the message even further.
Understanding that repetition is key, My Affirmation Tracks is designed to fit into your lifestyle pretty effortlessly. You can press play at any time, enabling you to reclaim otherwise wasted moments, such as doing the washing up, commuting, making a coffee etc.
Did you know? As you go to bed at night and first thing in the morning, your brain is in the receptive theta (or alpha) brainwave state, making it more impressionable to messages.
My Experience Using My Affirmation Tracks
Putting together my affirmation track was very simple. To choose my affirmations, I started by asking myself, What will be most helpful for me to hear right now? The answer led me to search for affirmations on health, focus and energy. Helpfully, you can type in keywords into the affirmation boxes, and they’ll suggest relevant affirmations to you.
I selected ten relevant affirmations. My Affirmation Tracks state there are trillions of potential combinations. My advice would be only to choose the number that strikes a chord with you. There is no point having ten (just because you can) if five tell you all you need to hear.
Next, I got to pick my music. There is a selection of tracks of which you can listen to a sample of each. Personally, I opted for uplifting as my affirmations were attracting energy and action. So if you want affirmations to calm and destress, a relaxing track may work better for you.
Following checkout, my affirmation track arrived. Excited to hear the result, I immediately pressed play. It was fantastic to have my selected affirmations read to me. Additionally, listening to them against the backdrop of uplifting music stirred and heightened my connection to them. In short, it was brilliant.
Also good to know: My track is around 4 minutes long, and the affirmations I chose are repeated multiple times within it.
I tend to listen to my track at different points during the day, usually when I’m getting dressed in the morning, as I sit down to work, and when I’m on my way to do the afternoon school run. I particularly find them to be at their most effective during exercise.
Listening to my track always gives me a welcome positive boost. It truly is an excellent way to bring more powerful and effective affirmations into your daily life.
Who would I recommend My Affirmation Tracks to?
Anyone – whether new to or experienced with affirmations – who wants to take their affirmations up a notch. It’s perfect for people who might feel awkward about reading affirmation statements to themselves; with My Affirmation Tracks, you are read to – which for some, will help them accept what is said more. Plus, they’re great for anyone who wants to begin an affirmation practice but needs it to be more effortless to make the habit stick.
