How Affirmations Work
Since your subconscious doesn’t process negatives, affirmations must always be phrased positively. Instead of saying, “I don’t want to feel tired in the morning,” reframe it as, “I will wake up refreshed, energized, and ready to take on the day.” Focus on what you want to attract or become—not what you want to eliminate.
The Process of Reverse Engineering
- Identify the Habit You Want to Change: Write a list of behaviors you’d like to adopt or eliminate.
- Reframe as an Affirmation: Turn each goal into a present-tense, positive statement.
- Add Emotion and Specificity: Your affirmations should feel personal and evoke a sense of excitement and ownership.
