Having an affirmation is great - if you use it every day. Do you sit and close your eyes and spend 10 minutes visualising, working on The New You every day?

What would you do if you were offered a business opportunity with a Chinese company, and you knew it would be a great advantage if you spoke enough Mandarin for greetings and small talk?
- First prize would be a teacher, close second, and you would probably do them both, would be a CD
- Listening to the language over and over, it becomes familiar to you
- Speaking the language every day, you would never forget it

Your brain needs to repeat a new circuit for it to become a habit. When you teach yourself to be more calm, or more motivated, it's just like learning a new language - and you can do this by listening to your affirmation from your phone.

Hypnosis and Effective Affirmations
Hypnosis allows information to bypass the firewall of your critical thinking, and become accepted by your subconscious mind. In most cases, hypnosis is necessary, because your subconscious is very protective over your belief systems. For a belief to change, neuro-plasticity requires the formation of a new circuit, which can only happen with the acceptance of the subconscious defences. If the new belief is perceived in any way to be a threat to your existing belief systems, your mind will defend itself, and reject the new belief, even if it was highly beneficial, or enabled your survival.

The easiest way to achieve hypnosis is to be hypnotised by a professional Hypnotherapist. Self hypnosis is equally effective, but takes some practice. There are also some tools one can use to deepen hypnosis, and to stabilize the state.
