		<description>Hello Robert and SaiF,

Interesting point that you brought up.  I've quite forgotten that I read this in Harv Eker's book.  

For affirmations, I've been following Gary Craig and Louis Hay. Both suggested the use of present tense  and stating it, even if the desired state has not occurred yet.  My reasoning is that if you are familiar with EFT, it is best to follow with Gary Craig's recommendation because you have a technique on hand to deal with your list of tail enders.  There is no greater feeling that that of freedom, as you clear your negative beliefs layer-by-layer. 

Affirmations on their own are powerful tools.  But as it is said, affirmations are less effective if you do not believe in them or have a lot of negative emotions sabotaging the intial intent.  However, when you combine the use of affirmations with EFT, you are dealing with your beliefs from both ends (clearing your negative thoughts to make way for empowering ones) completely.  

Making declarations of intent as suggested by Harv Eker is a good place to start, if you find that you really indeed are disbelieving your affirmation.  But it will be good to move gradually to an affirmation (with no tail enders) instead of a declaration of intent.  

Some experts are even suggesting not to use statements but to pose your affirmations as questions.

Although the above is what I would recommend, the only true test is experiential.  Find out for yourself what works.  Test and retest to get a conclusion. 

With love,
Evelyn</description>

		<description>Hey Evelyn,

This was a great post that clarified a lot of things for me. I'm now going to re-start my affirmations with these tips in mind.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I really needed to see this =) Oh btw, what do you think about Henru's point of view. I've listened to Harv Eker before about declarations but I'm not too sure about it.

What do you think, Evelyn?

To CANI,
SaiF

		<description>There is another perspective that T. Harv Eker shared, instead of affirmation, go with declaration. Declaration is much more acceptable by our subsconscious mind. Declaration is putting a goal there and going towards it.

What's your opinion on this??
My post sharing about it in ...
&lt;a href="http://www.reason4smile.com/2007/11/01/start-declaring-though-you-cant-affirm/" rel="nofollow"&gt; Start declaring (though you can't affirm)
&lt;/a&gt;

Thanks!
