Affirmations don't work, unless..

Affirmation is a powerful self-improvement technique. But my friend and I are talking about some reasons why it won't work.

For example, if you're affirming, "I am a self-made millionaire," but you're in a tight situation with debts to pay, your subconscious would dismiss your affirmation simply because it's not true.

To counter this, you can alter your wordings to "I choose to become a self-made millionaire," and "I am moving forward to becoming a self-made millionaire."

You also must have the belief and the proper mindset to make affirmations effective. In order to reinforce your belief, express a little gratitude and say "thank you" after reciting your affirmation.
By saying "thank you," you made it seem like the affirmation is already manifesting or happening.

And of course, repetition and emotions are essential ingredients. Recite your affirmations repeatedly and feel them already manifesting in your life.
