Why Your Affirmations Aren't Working — And How to Fix Them So They Actually Do

from How Can I Make My Life Better? · host Charlene Adams

Affirmations get a bad rap because most people use them wrong. In this episode I explain exactly why they fail as a singular tool, how to combine them with action steps so your brain starts building genuine evidence, and why the words we use — including the ones we use about ourselves — are quite literally spells.We cover present tense language, positive framing, the can't funeral I held in my back garden, and why singing your affirmations to music is one of the most underrated ways to supercharge them. I also share the Affirmation Club on Spotify — the artist who changed what I listen to every day.5 Day Devotion to Self Love Workbook (£3)https://www.patreon.com/posts/5-day-devotion-151272035Wheel of life downloadable: https://www.patreon.com/posts/wheel-of-life-154623364?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkJoin the Patreon community:https://www.patreon.com/14548425/joinBOOKS MENTIONED:Money: A love story, Kate Northrup: https://amzn.to/4vIcVZIDownload the free Bookstack Diaries reading list & workbook:https://soulandscissors.eo.page/rzcc5SUPPORT:- Buy me a cuppa: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=E7L7PLZGX7ALU&no_recurring=0&item_name=Buy+Me+a+Cuppa¤cy_code=GBP (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=E7L7PLZGX7ALU&no_recurring=0&item_name=Buy+Me+a+Cuppa¤cy_code=GBP) FOLLOW:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulandscissors/- Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@soulandscissors- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/soulandscissors/membership#affirmations #mantras #lawofattraction #manifestation #personaldevelopment #mindset #selfbelief #raiseyourvibration#womenempowerment #wordsarspells
