Wisdom Bits Talk: Positive Affirmations - Do They Really Work?

Let’s talk about positive affirmations. Do they really work or is it just a bunch of mumbo jumbo nonsense? I say yes, positive affirmations DO work. The secret is they don’t work. They don’t work by themselves. They don’t work just by repetition!

Very interesting! Concise and clear and gave me knew ways of thinking about this topic. Will listen again. As with affirmations, more than once is important !

I absolutely agree. I find pairing up the same types of affirmations in a daily "theme" to be especially helpful. I will add the day's theme - perhaps it's "abundance" - to my morning practice, then another set by another teacher or in a different format but ALSO on the theme of "abundance" in the even. Sometimes I put them on repeat and wear earbuds to sleep, repeating them as an aid to sleep. During the day, I may add additional affirmations in along the daily theme, in addition to any other practices I undertake. The different voices and styles make me feel there is a massive "support group" who see these things in me already and are helping me to realize they already exist within me as well. This has made a HUGE difference for me over the last year in particular.

Sometimes I choose the next day's theme the night before if I know a certain quality (compassion, patience, tolerance, clarity, etc) will be in high demand and other times I select it based on how I feel upon awakening. As a person living with chronic pain and medical issues, "radiant health" and healthy living/wellness, exercise, nutrition, etc are my default themes. Working beautifully, especially the ones set to music.

I have considered using mala beads as you mentioned but have yet to find a set that resonate well with me. I am considering making my own set to wear/carry specifically for my health/wellness sequence, and a second, more generic set of beads I can use for all other themes as needed.

Thank you for sharing this talk! I thoroughly enjoyed it. 😊 I see the light in you. 🤲❤️🤲
