Tips for Affirmations and Visualization

By Remez Sasson

I have recently been asked a few questions about affirmations and visualization. Since the answers to those questions could be of interest, and I hope of value, for everyone, I would like to share them with you.

Tips for Affirmations and Visualization

1. It is not necessary to repeat affirmations all the time. You need to choose a few affirmations, and repeat any one of them for a few minutes, several times a day. They are more effective at night, before falling asleep, and in the morning, upon waking up. Furthermore, repeat them at various times of the day, when you have the time, but you need to repeat them with interest, feeling, and love. While affirming, you need to be feel confident that what you are saying is true. When you have contrary thoughts, don’t listen to them, just keep affirming with complete faith that what you are affirming is already true.

It is also important to be aware of the opportunities that come your way, and use them when they come. Furthermore, listen to your intuition – those gut feelings, and to the ideas your subconscious mind sends you, and do something about them. Opportunities and ideas will come, but you have to take action when they come, and don’t just await for miracles to happen with no action on your part.

2. Put feelings, desire and faith into your affirmations and visualization.

Don’t Let the Past Shape Your Future

By Remez Sasson

Most of the events of your life have been shaped by your thoughts, attitude and expectations. If your life doesn’t change and doesn’t improve, it means that you are not changing your thoughts, attitude and expectations. It is like playing the same movie in your mind, over and again, and enacting it in your real life, time and again.

There is no reason to cling to thoughts, beliefs, attitude and expectations. You can change them if you really want. If you change them, you will start seeing life in a different way, acting in a different way, and consequently, changing the events and situations in your life.

Even if circumstances do not change, or cannot be changed, your attitude would be different, and therefore, the impact of circumstances on you would be different, milder, or even non-existent.

If your thoughts have always been negative, and you keep repeating them, how do you expect to improve your life?

Don’t let the past shape your future.

Your past thoughts created your present, but there is no need to repeat these thoughts. You can think other thoughts. You can think of what you want, irrespective of your current situation.

If you start thinking about success, instead of thinking about failure, and keep this way of thinking, in time, these thoughts would affect your life. What you think in the present, would change your future.

The Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with One Step

By Remez Sasson

Journey Begins With One StepThe title of this article is based on the words of Lao Tzu, who said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.”

This is true not just for a long journey, but also for short ones, and journeys, here are not meant to be actual journeys-trips. They refer to goals, tasks and actions. Everything that you do require that you take the first step.

Even drinking water from the tap requires that you walk to the kitchen to open the tap and fill a glass of water. If taking the first step is essential for such a simple act of filling a glass of water, it is of vital importance to achieving any goal.

If you wait for things to happen, probably nothing would happen. You have to take the initiative and do things.

The Redesigned Website Has Been Uploaded

By Remez Sasson

I am happy to announce that that I have finally finished redesigning my website, and have uploaded it. I hope and believe that you like it, and would be happy to read your comments and suggestions, which you can write in the comments section below, on this page.

Please visit the redesigned website at www.SuccessConsciousness.com.

The truth is that I didn’t intend to make such a big change. Actually, I was satisfied with my website as it was, but my wife insisted that I make just some minor changes, like changing the colors and the logo.

One evening I made sample page, and we started making experiments with the colors on the page. After a while my wife mentioned that the links on the left side of the page looked too bold, and asked me to change them, and see how they looked, if they are not typed in bold fonts.

At first I thought it would be a lot of work changing the appearance of all the links on all the pages, but then I asked myself, “Well, if I will have make changes in all the pages, and then upload the whole website, why not make some more changes?”

Was the Past Really Better than the Present?

By Remez Sasson

Do you think that your life in the past was better than the present?

Do you miss the “good old days?”

Quite often people, not just old people, but people of all ages yearn to the past, believing it was a better time. They think and feel that their childhood, adolescence, and the time they were young was a great time. They think and believe that everything was better than it is now. This sometimes might be true, but not always. If you analyze these thoughts and feelings in an unprejudiced manner, you will arrive to the conclusion that your earlier years were not as great as you imagine. I have a certain theory about this, which I would like to share with you.

People do not yearn to the actual past, to past circumstances and situations, which sometimes were good, and sometimes not so good. They yearn to something else. They yearn to two things.

They yearn to the period when they were quite young, when they didn’t worry about money, work and possessions. They yearn to the times when they had no worries and problems, when grown up people took care of everything. It was a carefree period, and this is what they are missing now.
