Affirmations are powerful, yet, if our core beliefs are incongruent, or not in alignment with our affirming, mayhem is likely. This episode explores the problem with affirmations, without doing the deeper healing work that drives our vibe, and therefore what we project into the world. 

Unexplored, healed and transformed limiting beliefs create mayhem and pain in our life.  How can they not?  They are by design limiting to keep us safe, and protected. They are there because sometime in our early life we decided to be adventurous, curious, playful, connected with others wasn't a good thing.  Or we figured is our parents, bugger brothers and sisters, teachers or society said "We can't, shouldn't, mustn't, or not for us" Then they must be right.  "After all, they are older, meant to be wiser and can certainly cause harm if we don't comply."

Affirmations are simply statements of belief.  Even our negative I am statements are affirmations. I can't,  I am not ..... I am ..... in the negative, conservative etc are affirming a belief of what we believe is not for us.  Therefore, to create and make the most of affirmations is to address the limiting, fear-based ones that are holding us back and uncreate the story and emotional entanglement/attachment we have given to the ideas.
