That\u2019s why the things you tell yourself matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Every word you say is a blueprint that your mind, body, and psyche want to make a reality<\/em>,\u201d says <strong>Marisa Peer<\/strong>, creator of Rapid Transformational Therapy\u00ae (RTT\u00ae), in her <strong><em>Rapid Transformation Hypnotherapy for Abundance<\/em><\/strong> program on Mindvalley.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s a firm believer in <strong>positive affirmations<\/strong>.

Those words shape everything.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-positive-affirmations\">What are positive affirmations?<\/h2>\n<p>Positive affirmations are short statements that shape your mindset, rewire your brain, and strengthen your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/self-belief\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">self-belief<\/a>. Unlike positive quotes (which themselves can be inspiring), affirmations take it a step further to help influence the way you think, feel, and act.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Every thought you think and every word you say forms a blueprint, and your mind must work to make that blueprint real.<\/p>\n<p><cite>\u2014 Marisa Peer, trainer of Mindvalley\u2019s Rapid Transformational Hypnotherapy for Abundance program<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever watched the movie <em>The Help<\/em>, you might recall the line by nanny Aibileen Clack to baby Mae Mobley: \u201c<em>You is kind, you is smart, you is important<\/em>.\u201d That\u2019s a powerful affirmation that encouraged courage and confidence for Mae and for Aibileen herself.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, they sound like wishful thinking or self-praise. But according to <strong>Dr. Caroline Leaf<\/strong>, a world-renowned cognitive neuroscientist and trainer of Mindvalley\u2019s <em>Calm Mind: A Scientific Guide to Managing Anxiety and Depression<\/em>, our mind is \u201c<em>designed to control the body<\/em>\u201d and not the other way around.<\/p>\n<p>Studies in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and neuroplasticity show that <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC4814782\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">repeating positive statements reinforces new thought patterns<\/a>. So, when you say \u201c<em>I am confident<\/em>\u201d over and over, your brain strengthens that identity until it feels natural.<\/p>\n<p>Now, for affirmations to be effective, they must be <strong>present tense, positive, and personal<\/strong>. \u201c<em>I am successful<\/em>\u201d sends a clear signal to your mind, while \u201c<em>I will be successful<\/em>\u201d delays the belief.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, saying them out loud is powerful.

That\u2019s why affirmations can be a powerful tool for shaping self-perception\u2014they reinforce the identity you want to strengthen.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, they can also play a role in self-healing. Research in psychoneuroimmunology suggests that <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC2473865\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reducing psychological stress can improve immune function<\/a>, supporting the body\u2019s natural ability to heal.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr. Leaf, \u201c<em>where your mind goes, your brain and body follow<\/em>.\u201d So as you\u2019re telling yourself positive statements, you lower your stress-related cortisol levels. This, then, helps create a healthier internal environment for both the mind and body.<\/p>\n<p>Marisa is living proof of this. After a horrific accident where a car ran over her leg, doctors told her recovery would take six months\u2014and that she might never walk the same way again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But she refused to accept that prognosis. Using her own DICCC technique, she <strong>directed, instructed, commanded, compelled, and coded<\/strong> her body to heal. In just six weeks, she was walking again, stunning her doctors.<\/p>\n<p>The catalyst? Giving her mind and body clear, specific instructions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>It\u2019s the detail<\/em>,\u201d she says. Saying \u201c<em>I want it<\/em>\u201d isn\u2019t enough, though. Wanting and wishing keep you in a state of longing, never having. But when you say, \u201c<em>I demand this; I compel my body to make it happen<\/em>,\u201d your subconscious mind understands the urgency and takes action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>The mind is powerful beyond belief<\/em>,\u201d she adds. \u201c<em>We have really no idea how powerful we ar<\/em>e.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-positive-affirmations-work\">How do positive affirmations work?<\/h3>\n<p>Your subconscious mind takes everything literally\u2014it doesn\u2019t distinguish between reality and repetition. As Marisa puts it, \u201c<em>Your mind really doesn\u2019t care what you tell it. Is it true or false, good or bad, helpful or unhelpful?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s kind of like putting butter on hot toast\u2014the toast cannot reject the hot butter. And it\u2019s the same for affirmations. \u201c<em>When you state them<\/em>,\u201d Marisa adds, \u201c<em>they become real<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For example, repeating positive morning affirmations like \u201c<em>I am calm and ready for the day<\/em>\u201d or \u201c<em>I radiate confidence<\/em>\u201d helps set the mental tone you carry into your actions. As Norman Vincent Peale, the bestselling author of <em>The Power of Positive Thinking<\/em>, says, \u201c<em>Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented, and happy attitudes, and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some people, though, may have tried and wonder why positive affirmations don\u2019t work. But it comes down to this: If you don\u2019t believe what you\u2019re saying, your mind resists the statement instead of accepting it.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why affirmations work best when they feel achievable. Instead of \u201c<em>I am wealthy<\/em>\u201d when you\u2019re struggling financially, a better affirmation might be \u201c<em>I am building financial stability every day<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, <strong>the key to positive affirmations is repetition.<\/strong> The more you say them, the more your mind accepts them as truth.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-write-positive-affirmations\">How to write positive affirmations<\/h3>\n<p>Because positive affirmations are written in the language of the brain, they follow a very specific formula. And as it turns out, our brains are pretty strict and straightforward about their linguistic rules.<\/p>\n<p>So here are the guidelines you\u2019ll want to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keep your affirmations in the present. <\/strong>Your brain will only ever optimally respond to positive present tense affirmations such as \u201c<em>I am calm<\/em>.\u201d\n<p>Hence, avoid using past or future tenses. If you see affirmations that say \u201c<em>I will\u2026<\/em>,\u201d \u201c<em>I used to\u2026<\/em>,\u201d or \u201c<em>I\u2019m going to\u2026<\/em>,\u201d then this is <em>NOT<\/em> an affirmation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Only include positive words. <\/strong>\u201c<em>Don\u2019t<\/em>,\u201d \u201c<em>can\u2019t<\/em>,\u201d or \u201c<em>won\u2019t<\/em>\u201d aren\u2019t positively inclined words, so steer clear of using them. For example, change \u201c<em>I won\u2019t worry<\/em>\u201d to \u201c<em>I\u2019m always calm<\/em>.\u201d\n<p>When you use negatively charged words, your brain has to put in a lot of extra effort to evoke meaning and seek out positive instruction.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Speak your positive affirmation confidently<\/strong>, as if it were true. Statements that contain words like \u201c<em>might<\/em>\u201d and \u201c<em>could<\/em>\u201d aren\u2019t nearly as powerful as statements that contain words like \u201c<em>am<\/em>\u201d and \u201c<em>do<\/em>.\u201d For example, \u201c<em>I could be calm in every situation<\/em>\u201d is not as solid as \u201c<em>I am calm in every situation<\/em>.\u201d\n<p>Your brain will respond to this even if you secretly don\u2019t believe it to be accurate. When you come across an affirmation that makes you squirm in discomfort, it\u2019s a good sign that it\u2019s exactly the statement you need to repeat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-unlock-your-brilliance-within\">Unlock your brilliance within<\/h2>\n<p>\u201c<em>There\u2019s nothing that builds you up the way self-praise does<\/em>,\u201d says Marisa Peer. And with every affirmation you repeat to yourself, it\u2019s a blueprint, a directive, a reminder of what you\u2019re capable of.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re going to feed your mind, make it a feast\u2026 with Mindvalley\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/free-resources\/affirmation-cards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>\u201cMind Your Mantras\u201d affirmation cards<\/strong><\/a>.
