I agree...I would just omit, 'to change neg thought patterns'.
Only because a person could be really happy and positive,
but really want that job...so they apply, "That job is mine!"
"I am getting that job!"
While never having had a negative thought at all...just going for it
more with affirming it.
Understanding the subconscious mind helps to understand what affirmations 'do'.
Natural Oc, go over to the quotes of Neville Goddard here...I think some are there talking about the subconscious.
What your core beliefs are come about in the objective world around you.
You you keep thinking or talking about being robbed...you will!
You have convinced your subc. mind.
Say, "Today is going to be the best ever!" and it will.
Say it enough and the you don't have to anymore because it successfully has been planted firmly in the unconscious mind.
There are so many authors that describe this with great clarity.
