Soul Sustenance: Afformations

Did you know that each day most of us have thousands of instances of negative self-talk? Many of us are aware of affirmations, visualization, and other forms of positive thinking. I was intrigued by the idea of Afformations, however.

Noah St. John tells the story of how he invented Afformations one morning in 1997. He was in the shower when he asked himself a question that changed his life: Why are we trying to change our lives saying statements we don’t believe when the human mind responds automatically to something even more powerful?
Here are just a few of the remarkable, real-life stories from people around the world who have used Noah’s Afformations Method to change their lives. I like these stories because they're regular people overcoming situations many of us face - job dissatisfaction, relationship unhappiness, health issues that are tied to behavior, and more.

1. Michael from Germany was a chronic procrastinator. He and his wife Silvia had decided to get a divorce. In fact, the divorce papers were on the desk waiting to be signed. At the last moment, Michael decided to share Noah’s teaching of Afformations with Silvia. Something switched. They decided not to get a divorce, are best friends again, and share their list of Afformations with each other every day.
2. Amy was having constant chest pains and panic attacks due to crushing debt and mounting financial pressure. Every day, she considered suicide just to be free from the pain. A friend told her about Noah’s Afformations System, and Amy read it. That very night, she slept well for the first time in nearly a year. The feelings of panic, anxiety, and overwhelm left her, and she never considered suicide again.
3. Cecelia had been called obese since childhood. She would gain and lose weight, but could never keep it off. Then a friend told her about Afformations. Cecelia read the book cover to cover, started following Noah’s system, and dropped 163 pounds.
4. Adam from Florida was a self-professed geek who was very shy and lacked confidence, especially around women. Then he met Samantha, a former model who he thought was out of his league. Adam started using Afformations, built up his self-confidence, and finally asked her out. Today Adam and Samantha are happily married.
5. Michael was very dissatisfied with his job. He often wondered why he bothered to come into work at all. Then he heard about Afformations and started using them. A few weeks later, Michael approached his company’s CEO with a proposal for a new position. The proposal was accepted and Michael created his own dream job at more than twice his original salary.
6. Tim from Chicago is a long-time student of Noah St. John and Afformations. As a consultant for a communication company, he was in the home of an elderly woman who went outside for a smoke every ten minutes. Tim asked the woman if she had ever tried to quit smoking. She replied, “Every day for the last 20 years.” He asked her if she’d be willing to try one more thing and showed her how to use Afformations. Five weeks later, he went back to check on her. There were no signs of cigarettes and her smoking area was completely clean. She said, “I don’t know why it was so easy for me to quit this time.” Tim said, “Wow, this Afformations stuff really works!”
