May Be The Affirmation Approach Purely A Personal Approach?

By James Carpenter


Have you always been fond of affirmations? Have you often heard people say that affirmations work for them? Or are you one of several skeptics who cannot appear to believe anything about how exactly affirmations work?

Whatever you believe in and whatever you think, you need to know about how affirmations work and regardless of whether affirmations are actually a simply personal approach.

Are affirmations a personal approach? There are two views on this matter:

The first view is for the positive. Psychologists believe that affirmations and also the method of affirmations is purely your own approach. It is an approach that individuals do to make sure that their days will begin good and even great.

For example, when you say to yourself that you are beautiful in the morning, it has a different effect than when someone else says it, especially when you have low self esteem. People with low self esteem often do not believe the compliments, although positive, that other people say. Therefore, affirmations and the road to the success of the affirmations often work from the inside and this is what the positive view entails.

Second view is about the negative side that affirmations usually are not a personal approach and that there is a need for individuals to give the support that needed for affirmations to be effective.

For example, when people say something positive about another person, it affirms something within them that helps them move on with their problems and believe the things that they need to believe in.

An excerpt from Scientific Healing is saying that "Man's word is Spirit within man. Spoken words are sounds occasioned with the vibrations of thought processes; thoughts are vibrations sent forth with the ego or with the soul".

This means that individuals often need the phrases of others to sent positive thoughts and vibrations towards soul of others.

Where Do We Stand Now?

Finally, the question concentrates on 'where do we stand now'? Since we know the two opinions on affirmations, where do most of us stand? Well, the answer is just it depends. People have different personalities and still have different beliefs. Therefore, there are different effects in terms of people and affirmations.

Hence, if affirmations are not helping you right now. Remember to give it time and you ought to see a difference after you put your thoughts and soul from it. Things, even the effects of affirmations, often in your own time, always keep this as the primary goal.
