Making affirmations work for you Hi, my name is Hayley Sohn, I am a Nutritionist and Brain Training Weight Loss Coach. If you want to work with me, go to basicallyitmeals.com to get started Affirmations are a great way to practice new thoughts, practice new emotions However most people i talk to are doing it wrong! Their affirmations aren’t working at all…they are getting them nowhere. Weight isn’t being lost, pants are still not fitting, life is still hard The good news is there’s an easy way to tell if your affirmations aren’t going to work and an easy fix so they will work. And im going to tell you all about it today Here’s what you’re doing now: Coming up with your affirmations Practicing them all day Wondering why they aren’t working Here’s how to test if they will work for you: When you say it to yourself, does it resonate? What emotion does it call up for you? Negative emotional reaction no good Super duper positive is not always great either What you want it to bring up for you is a feeling of belief,, you can believe it now or it resonates with you now Feel solid, grounded, positive Here’s how to make affirmations work Clear and specific, not wordy and abstract There are two truths You can believe both Bridge thoughts You are here This is slightly better: I am working towards I am becoming I am getting better I believe i can be I want to (never i should or need to) The emotion doesn’t have to be super positive, just better than where you are now 3 C’s Practice!!!
