Our brains are fascinating. Almost as if they act independently from ourselves. We can convince our brain or vice versa. But then who are we if the brain acts on its own? Are we basically multiple personalities in a body with many influences? 

Affirmations are supposed to reprogram our mind. It’s basically talking to ourselves, which may seem odd. I have had people catch me saying, I am great, I am happy, I am positive and get weird looks as if I’m the crazy one. It’s a self-coaching technique to improve our overall lives. 

Affirmations are most effective first thing in the morning or before we go to sleep. It takes no special skill. There are many videos that even tell you your own affirmations. It does the work for us. All you have to do is press play everyday. Now they say do it for 21 days and your mind changes. This is a bit misleading as we all know it takes more than 3 weeks to change years of programming. It’s not like we’re reprogramming a computer. 

Everybody and every brain is different. We always assume that if something works for one person it has to work for another. It’s just simply not true. We have to find what works for us and not just blindly follow because that’s what has led us here. Just blindly following the crowd because it’s easier that way. Most certainly everything that’s easy is hurting us in some way. We need to be challenged to expand ourselves. Challenge yourself today. Don’t be afraid to fail! Don’t hide behind the crowd just to blend in.

Start today! And never stop!
