Affirmations: whether you love them or loathe them, there’s no denying their popularity in the world of personal growth and development.

But I understand why some people are not a fan! At first, trying out these new thoughts might seem all kind of strange, stupid, or pointless.

Your subconscious mind has been shaped and programmed in three major ways:

Of course, the last one is the key to understanding why affirmations work. It’s true: you really can rewire your mind just by repeating these simple sentences to yourself.

Essentially, affirmations are the art of choosing the new thoughts that you want to believe (as opposed to your old unhelpful/harmful thoughts) and rewiring them into your brain.

Why is this important?

We always manifest from our subconscious beliefs. Right now, you have some great intentions but your real habitual thoughts are not lining up with them. That creates manifestation blocks, feeling stuck, and usually involves you going around in circles.

It’s always important to take your subconscious mind into account during the manifestation process.

While there are many methods of subconscious reprogramming, affirmations are quick and easy to do and a great way for anyone to get started.

Simple Affirmation Guidelines

Start Small

Pick something that resonates. If you’re telling yourself “I’m so skinny” when you really do not feel skinny then you’re aiming too high.

In these situations, pick a neutral thought to guide your brain towards first. For example, replace your default thought of “I’m so fat” with “I have a body” before you try go any further.

Focus On One At A Time

In general, it’s best to choose one affirmation to work with at a time. So pick what resonates today and go for it!

Give It Time

Doing your affirmations/mantras only once isn’t going to have any effect at all. If you give it one session and don’t feel any different, relax! That’s normal.

This process takes time so commit to giving it time. The longer your practice, the better (and easier!) it all becomes.

Fortunately, affirmations are simple to use and easily adaptable. Here are some suggestions:
