The French psychologist Émile Coué is considered by many to be the father of modern Autosuggestion.

Autosuggestion is a process of natural health and healing by which an individual trains the subconscious mind to believe something, or systematically schematizes the person's own mental associations, usually for a given purpose. This is accomplished through self-hypnosis methods or repetitive, constant self-affirmations, and may be seen as a form of self-induced brainwashing. The acceptance of autosuggestion may be quickened through mental visualization of that which the individual would like to believe.

The aim of autosuggestion is to change the way one believes, perceives, or thinks in order to change the way one behaves. It is different to hypnosis in that the suggestions given during the sessions originate with the individual, rather than originating with suggestions from the Practitioner.

Goal Setting Success - 10 Affirmations That Will Change Your Life
By Rick Seymour

These ten affirmations, actions and activities can dramatically change your future. The more consistently you apply them, the faster you will change your circumstances. Review them every day until they become part of your routine. The first three deal directly with opening your Reticular Activating System so that you will become aware of the opportunities that are all around you.

1. I take responsibility for my life. After today, the future is my responsibility and no one else's. [My Reticular Activating System only opens up if it knows I am RESPONSIBLE for the outcome.]

2. I have CLEAR, SPECIFIC, VIVID, EMOTIONAL, MEASURABLE goals. [So my Reticular Activating System knows what is IMPORTANT and what I need to be aware of to achieve my goal.]

3. I do my affirmations often to create my "new reality", my new version of “the truth.” I practice my future perfectly! [My subconscious mind thinks my imagination is just as "real" as my experiences. This is how I create my new version of the "truth" against which my Reticular Activating System will assess what I need to be aware of in order to achieve my goals.]

4. I control my self-talk and change my thinking to support my goals and affirmations. [Whatever I spend the most time thinking about, I gravitate toward.]

5. I have 90-day activity plans that define what the activities I must be doing and that move me toward my goals. [And I review them at least every 30 days!]

6. I have an "ideal" weekly calendar created from my activity plans to assure that it is possible to achieve my goals with the time/commitments that I have.

7. Each week I fill out my Day-Timer from my "ideal" calendar. I get all the specifics on there. Because it’s on my schedule, I make time to do it.

8. I continuously monitor and measure my activities to assure that I am on track toward my goals. [I have consistently scheduled planning time]

9. I have a support group (or person) who helps me grow and move forward and who helps me find my "blind spots" so that I can fix them.

10. I am accountable to someone who is supportive of my goals and whom I respect. I tell them what my activities should be, I allow them to ask me if I have done them and I allow them to critique my results.
