Affirmations are a key component in adjusting our mindsets. I’ll be honest, I’m not a big fan of mainstream – one size fits all – say it till you believe it – affirmations. I can’t stand in front of a mirror and tell myself something I don’t believe without feeling like I’ve compromised my integrity. It gives me a heavy feeling in the pit of my stomach. If you feel the same, stick with me here because I have some great ways to use affirmations that are both honest and effective.
What we tell ourselves, we will believe. I can easily detect when I’ve told myself a positive lie about myself, I’ve got a great radar for that, but I’m much more easily fooled by a negative lie about myself. Let me explain, if I’m trying to convince myself that I am enough, simply repeating “I am enough” feels so ungenuine. But if I was hearing “you’re not enough, you’re such a fake, you’ll never be anything,” in the back of my mind, I’d believe it without question. That radar was busted.
Here’s the deal: what you repeatedly tell yourself, you will believe. You hear a lie enough times it becomes your truth. So let’s focus on making sure we’re telling ourselves things that are going to help us be our best selves, not things that are going to hurt us and consume all our energy trying to combat.
