I used to roll my eyes at affirmations, it felt like fluff, pure "woo-woo" nonsense. But then I reframed it. Approaching it from a scientific, logical angle made all the difference. Call it Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and suddenly it’s no longer mystical, it’s evidence-based.
For me, the process is more: write, believe, achieve. It’s not enough to just say something, though that might help.
Writing it down is where the magic happens. Expanding on it, typing it out, hitting save, or even better, publishing it,cements the intention in my brain. It’s like flipping a switch: intention locked.
Later, whether it’s tomorrow, next week, or next month, I can revisit what I’ve written, add to it if needed, and refresh my focus.
It’s like watering a plant: the habit grows stronger with consistent attention.
Excellence, agency, success, they’re all habits we can cultivate. But misery, sadness, and despair can be too. If we’re not careful, we can resign ourselves to them simply because they’re familiar, or easier.
The key is knowing we have the choice to build better habits by telling ourselves the right things. Record the intentions and water them regularly.
Mark, you are definitely on the right track. Visualization also connects to NLP (neuro linguistic programming) when we use our senses to achieve what we want. One way of doing that is by envisioning the end goal and employing all our senses to do so.
See the scene in your mind's eye, listen to the sounds, are there clapping? Imagine all the things your senses would experience. That will bring on the manifestation.
There's a lot of wisdom in this, Moon. It reminds me of some of what I have read about magic - sigils and the like. This can take a person very deep. Thank you.
You made an excellent point Maurice, affirmations start with creating a positive energy for ourselves, it wil inspire others because we speak and act differently.
Cogito ergo sum - I think, therefore I am ~ René Descartes
Love this philosophical quote. It reinforces this thinking!

Yeah, this can go deep into our subsconscious. The power of affirmations lays a path for us to walk and finally arrive at our destination.
Affirmations work for sure.... and - they - self - inspire. Ego it follows that others also become inspired.... Think about that
