What are affirmations, and how do they work?

Affirmations are positive statements designed to not only inspire you, but also change your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Affirmations could be very specific (for example, “each day I wake up, eat a certain food, and perform a certain workout”) or more general (such as “I am confident”).

In short, affirmations can be used to brainwash yourself (in a good way, of course). Because our subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between reality and imagination, you can change the way it operates by simply repeating certain affirmations over and over.

You could say your affirmations out loud, read them, or write them down. Ideally you want to do this early in the morning or just before bed: when you are not fully alert, it’s easier to condition your mind.

Some people believe this process doesn’t really work, so let’s have a look at some of the reasons affirmations may not work for you.

Three reasons why affirmations may not work

First of all, if you decide to try this out, it has to become a habit. You need to say or read your affirmations every single day, not just once in a while. It takes time to condition the brain — in the beginning, your mind won’t even listen, but the more you do this, the more your mind will simply accept whatever you imagine as the truth.

The second reason this may not work is if you say or read the affirmations the wrong way. If you are not focused; if you don’t use the affirmations with great emotional intensity; if you read them quickly, as if you were reading an information leaflet, then chances are they won’t work. You need to concentrate and really believe what you are saying.

Finally, if there’s any negative emotions linked to some or all your affirmations, your subconscious mind won’t accept them. For example, if you say you want to be a different person, but part of you is afraid you will lose your current friends if that happens, your subconscious won’t be able to decide what to do, and what to feel.
