In the world of personal growth, people have come up with all sorts of techniques to help cultivate a good mindset and achieve what they want. One approach that really seems to make a difference is using something called “askfirmations“. It’s where you combine asking questions with positive statements. Askfirmations offer a unique way to help make desired things happen and shift your perspective on things.
Askfirmations vs Affirmations
Askfirmations, a term derived from “ask” and “affirmations,” are designed to prompt a shift in mindset by encouraging you to ask specific, empowering questions that lead to positive outcomes.
Rather than traditional affirmations like “I am successful” or “I have a great job”, askfirmations would be questions like “Why am I so successful?” or “What steps can I take to get a great job?”. The idea is that our brains are wired to look for answers when we ask questions, so framing goals and desires as questions keeps our minds actively looking for solutions.
When we question ourselves in a positive way, always focusing on what we want rather than what we don’t want, it encourages our subconscious to help out. Our minds want to answer questions, so it will start coming up with ideas on how to make the things we ask about a reality.
Examples of Askfirmations
Here are a few instances of askfirmations and how they compare to traditional affirmations:
- Health And Well-being
- Traditional Affirmation: “I am healthy and strong.”
- Askfirmation: “Why do I feel so vibrant and full of energy every day?”
- Traditional Affirmation: “My skin is so beautiful and smooth.”
- Askfirmation: “Why do I have such beautiful and smooth skin?”
- Confidence and Success
- Traditional Affirmation: “I am confident and successful in everything I do.”
- Askfirmation: “What makes me so confident and capable of achieving my goals?”
- Traditional Affirmation: “New opportunities are drawn to me like a bee to honey.”
- Askfirmation: “Why are so many new opportunities drawn to me like a bee to honey?”
- Abundance And Prosperity
- Traditional Affirmation: “I am attracting abundance into my life.”
- Askfirmation: “Why am I consistently attracting abundance and prosperity?”
- Traditional Affirmation: “I am a money magnet. Money loves me.”
- Askfirmation: “Why am I a money magnet? Why does money love me so much?”
- Relationships
- Traditional Affirmation: “I am surrounded by loving and supportive relationships.”
- Askfirmation: “How do I attract such wonderful and loving people into my life?”
- Traditional Affirmation: “I am worthy of love and respect.”
- Askfirmation: “Why am I so worthy of love and respect?”
The great thing is that askfrmations can be about pretty much anything you want – it just depends on what you’re trying to manifest. The key is to rephrase your askfirmation as a question starting with “why” or “how.”
Instead of just saying, “I am wealthy,” you’d say, “How did I become so wealthy?” There’s also a unique method called the Tesla 369 manifestation method where you can also do askfirmations. For instance, if you want to attract money, say, “Why is money so attracted to me?” 3 times in the morning, 6 in the afternoon, and 9 in the evening.
How to Use Askfirmations
If you already know about affirmations, then askfirmations should be no problem to get into. Before you fully commit to doing askfirmations, here are a few things that may help you out as you get started.
Formulate Empowering Questions: Start by identifying areas of your life where you’d like to experience positive changes. Frame questions that reflect the outcomes you desire. Make sure that your questions are positive, specific, and realistic.
Practice Regularly: Incorporate askfirmations into your daily routine. You can repeat them during your morning routine, while commuting, or before bed. Consistency should be your friend and not your enemy since it is the key to reprogramming your mind.
Visualize The Responses: When you ask an empowering question, take a moment to visualize and feel the positive responses. Imagine how achieving your goals would make you feel and the actions you would take.
To illustrate, if you desire a new car, say to yourself, “why do I have such a splendid car with luxurious leather seats and state-of-the-art technology?” as you envision yourself seated in that vehicle on comfortable leather seats and enjoying the music you love.
Believe In The Process: Trust that your mind is actively working to find answers and opportunities that align with your askfirmations. Belief in the process enhances its effectiveness. We won’t sugarcoat it by telling you that your dreams will come true instantly. Instead, we encourage you to stay determined and have patience.
Pair With Action: While askfirmations are powerful, they are even more effective when paired with actionable steps. Take motivated steps toward your goals, and your mind will seek ways to support your efforts.
Stay Open to Possibilities: Be open to unexpected solutions and opportunities that arise as a result of your askfirmations. The universe might present paths you hadn’t considered.
Why Not Giving Them A Shot?
Have you heard about askfirmations before? Or were you thinking of giving them a shot? If so, it really can’t hurt to try them out. Askfirmations are actually stronger than regular affirmations because instead of just claiming what you want, you ask your mind why you already have it. By inquiring instead of declaring, it engages your mind in a different way than plain old affirmations. Nothing to lose and maybe you’ll gain what you’re after by asking instead of telling!
