The power of affirmations is most visible not when one is affirming or thinking but rather when old thoughts and beliefs rise within the mind leading us on the trail of an old thought stemming from a past experience.
The interesting thing about affirmations is that the more you affirm, the more you discover about what has individually made you who you are but with the chance to let go of old experiences whilst understanding that you have learnt all that you could from them and that they have served their purpose. Sticking onto old experiences which may have formed you, only allows your consciousness to preserve beliefs which no longer fit you or were never true to begin with.
After over two years of daily affirmations, I find my consciousness still leading me to memories which I no longer thought had an effect on my life but sometimes memories have an unconscious effect till we become conscious of their existence. It might be a small discovery but it makes a huge difference when your cleaning out the closets of your mind to let go of that which you no longer need in your life. It allows you to make your own life, your own reality and everything in it. Situations do not have to be replayed, a shift in thoughts, beliefs and a mere awareness changes the old picture into a pretty vision.
