Your brain does think very visually, but its even more affected by sound.

Which would make more sense to you, watching a movie without the sound, or listening to a movie without the picture.

Either way, both forms of recieving information are very powerful.

Having visual images are great, and affermations are just as good for seeing results.

Every single word that goes into your head has some sort of response from your brain, so by actually saying the affirmation, you are giving a lot more for your brain to work with, and you will be more successful.

i hope that explains it

@john, your absolutely right, they have different goals but both visualizations and affirmations are very important for developing a powerful successful mindset.

@james, yes during that relaxed state your mind is more open to suggestion than usual so therefore they are the best times for these exercises

When you say these affirmations out loud you affect your subconscious mind which is extremely powerful, and if you do it with feelings and passion often enough and keep doing it this way, you'll practically become unstoppable.

Another good way to get it in your head is to have a post it note, or some sort of sign near your computer that has a positive affirmation and an image on it.......Then whenever you are working you will have the affirmation right their in your peripheral vision.

The main difference of these two is that one works with images but the other one works with sounds.

If you see yourself living in the big house of your dreams (visualization) you can reinforce your visualization (or viceversa) with an affirmation like; I'm living in a big house like this one.

Both of them have the end of creating the feeling of having achieve it your dream and the certainty of being true.

The subconscious mind is basically like a boat that you can steer with your conscious mind. If you are constantly speaking good things to yourself and visualizing nice images then you will begin to experience those things in you reality without a doubt. Your behavior will begin to change and certain situations and circumstances will begin attracting to you and you should just say yes to any opportunity which presents itself. Always remember to be grateful when the universe throws you a bone, some things in life aren't a coincidence, they are merely an occurrence from the vibrations you project to the universe. Lol a lot of stuff goes into it, I hope I'm not sounding to philosophical anyway, I hope that helps some...
