Why are your affirmations NOT working?

Ever felt like you’ve manifested and affirmed yourself thousands of times about that life you want but it got you nowhere? Affirmations are supposed to make you feel better right? But why aren’t you? You can keep telling yourself “my business is thriving” or “I’m hitting my goals” over and over again but it STILL doesn’t happen. If your business isn’t ACTUALLY thriving and you just keep repeating that to yourself, you’ll eventually feel like a fraud and feel that imposter syndrome. Doing affirmations this way is just like placing a band-aid over a wound and simply expecting it to be healed immediately without actually tending to it. It’s just a quick fix for deeper issues that you HAVE to deal with if you want those affirmations to come true.

Get to the root of the problem

What you really have to do to fix this is to actually identify what the root problem is. Where do your limiting beliefs come from? If you don’t know where it’s coming from, it’s going to be hard to overcome it. an affirmation is just a bandaid for the bigger problem. If you REALLY want to believe the words coming out of your mouth, then you actually have to identify where you don’t even believe it in the first place? If you claim certain things about yourself and your business but it doesn’t feel right, you gotta figure out where it’s stemming from.

Peel back the layers and look for the root of that idea that you can’t have a thriving business. Could it be from that time in 5th grade when you had a lemonade stand and nobody showed up? And for years, you’ve subconsciously been telling yourself you can’t have a thriving business. Or when you tell yourself you’re an amazing leader but don’t actually believe it, where is that coming from? Could it be that time from middle school where I wanted to be the leader of our group and they told me my ideas were stupid? and for how many years – 20 or even more, you’ve actually believed that and never actually got over it. You’ve made it into a BELIEF and your mind and body just automatically circle back to that thought without you even noticing it. Retrace everything from childhood up until now, because once you know where it’s coming from and WHY it doesn’t feel true, THEN you can actually fix it!

Heal from your wounds

Belief is just a thought that you’ve repeated in your head soo many times that your brain, body, and energy accepts it as the TRUTH. BUT! If you wanna change your belief and start BELIEVING your affirmations, it won’t work if you still struggle internally. You have to make your mind and body to BELIEVE it all over again. THEN when you start saying your affirmations again, you won’t have that thought at the back of your mind have that sinking feeling of “that’s not true”. And actually believe your affirmations. When this happens, you’ve already healed your wounds and your affirmations are no longer something impossible to attain or something you don’t believe. Your affirmations are now your strength and stamina where your grit comes from when you’re hustling. Now, your grit becomes grittier and you’re ready to HUSTLE because you now have that affirmation energy that keeps you moving forward. Because now you ACTUALLY believe that you CAN do it and YOU ARE IT. YES MA’AM!!
