The Power of Suggestion and how easy it is to implement it
How fatherhood taught me how easily you can change your life with the power of suggestion
Recently, my first child was born and I am the father of an amazing boy. While our lives have turned upside down and circled, there have been many lessons that he already taught us.
2024 is and will continue to be a very busy year for me as my first son was born, moved to another country for the birth temporarily, back with our family for help, and will also get married in 2 months with a lot of planning on the way. So there is no surprise that my training and spiritual development moved a bit on the back seat, to make space for these new developments.
However, within the many things I have ongoing, my child taught me a very important lesson about the subconscious mind that I would like to share with you all.
For a few days, the baby was gassy and had irregularly used diapers, pretty normal for a newborn, it gets regular afterward. However, we kept repeating the same sentences to the baby over and over again, trying to convince him to pass gas or go potty. After a few hours of occasional repetitions, we ended up doing the things that we were repeating to him.
Funny, and maybe gross for some, but it proved to me the great power of suggestion, and how by repeating something repeatedly to ourselves, our subconscious mind picks it up and turns it into reality.
How to use The Power of Suggestion to achieve what you want
The most common way to implement this into your life is by using affirmations. There are many ways that people do this:
Repeating them in their mind
Repeating them out loud in the mirror, while they watch themselves in the eyes
Recording them and playing them in the headphones, sometimes at night
Writing them down and sticking them on their laptops, desks, and mirrors to see them randomly during the day
Writing them down and reading them occasionally or at special times
Having them on their phone’s lock screen
Using applications that send them notifications
Whatever method you choose, it needs to be what works for you. Don’t do what others do here, because we all pay attention to different things and communicate in different ways.
What I suggest though, is to implement these rules:
Do not have a lot of affirmations at the same time. It needs to take you very few minutes to read or say them.
Have the affirmations tailored to what you want to attract into your life. Do not copy them from someone online.
Write the affirmations in relation to changing your identity, not just the thing you want to attract.
Examples:
If you want to attract 10k a month, you don’t just say “I am making 10k a month“. You say “I am abundant. Abundance comes to me easily. I have unlimited potential and make 10k a month at least.“
You don’t say “I am not afraid of heights anymore”. You say, “I am a brave and courageous person. I am not scared of anything.“
The steps of manifesting
Keep in mind that programming your mind, especially for personality traits, is much more complicated than making a baby pass gas. It goes through a lengthy process, and some steps, in order to do it with affirmations.
You identify your identity and what is blocking you
You create the right affirmations for the root cause of your problem
You are aware of your thoughts and replace the old ones with new ones when they occur or simply stop them
You get into a relaxed/meditative state whenever you say your affirmations.
You repeat the affirmations to yourself in which way you prefer.
You are consistent.
You keep your belief strong and overcome tests from the universe.
You act, talk, and think as if the affirmation already materialized.
You adopt the identity of the person you are in the future when the manifestation materializes.
You keep your vibes high and are grateful for this manifestation, even if you are still waiting for it in the 3D world.
You finally changed your identity!
Keep in mind how this is happening, and pay attention to the steps outlined above, be patient and enjoy the ride.
In conclusion, the power of suggestion is just one habit away from you, and you can achieve anything you want, by repeating your affirmations and following the manifestation steps.
For some people and some manifestations, it might take 5 minutes, 5 hours, 5 days, 5 months, or even 5 years, but the laws of the universe are constantly at work.
