The Neuroscience Behind Morning Affirmations (3 Minutes)

You already know affirmations are meant to work. So why do some mornings they feel powerful, and other mornings they feel like lying to yourself in the bathroom mirror? Your brain has opinions about this. (Of course it does.) In this quick three minute episode, we break down what’s happening in your brain when you affirm who you are, why the morning is such a powerful window for it, and the simple tweak that stops an affirmation from triggering your inner sceptic. Consider it the science you can quote the next time someone rolls their eyes at your morning ritual.
