“Yes yes, the technique of wishful thinking that doesn’t even work” While rolling your eyes.

If that’s you…

I bet you by the end of this email, you will be that person telling your friends and family about affirmations and how they transformed your life.

Let’s dive in:

1. Your brain thrives on self-affirmation

A 2016 study in Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience found that self-affirmations activate the brain’s ventromedial prefrontal cortex.

This part of your brain is tied to decision-making and emotional regulation.

When you affirm yourself, you're creating a mental framework for confidence and focus.

2. They reduce stress and improve performance

Research from The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology shows that affirmations reduce cortisol levels—the hormone responsible for stress.

Participants who practiced daily affirmations were better equipped to handle high-pressure tasks like public speaking or exams.

By starting your day with affirmations, you're essentially training your brain to handle challenges with calm and clarity.

3. Positive repetition builds new neural pathways

Neuroscientist Dr. Joe Dispenza highlights how consistent repetition creates new neural connections in your brain.

When you repeat affirmations like "I am meant to be more", your brain starts to believe it and adjusts your behavior accordingly.

It’s not magic—it’s neuroplasticity.

4. They counteract negative self-talk

In Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, there’s a concept called "thought restructuring."

Affirmations help you replace harmful beliefs (I’m not good enough) with empowering ones (I have the skills to succeed).

This isn’t just about feeling good—it’s about retraining your inner dialogue.

How to Make Affirmations Work for You

If you want affirmations to actually stick, here’s a simple, science-backed routine:

1. Choose affirmations that align with your goals.
Examples:

"I can focus and get through this. Every bit I learn brings me closer to where I want to be."

"I’m capable of making money and creating opportunities. Every step I take brings me closer to financial freedom."

2. Speak them out loud in the morning.
Studies show that verbal repetition strengthens neural pathways more effectively than silent repetition.

3. Pair affirmations with visualization.
Picture yourself succeeding as you say them.

Neuroscientist Andrew Newberg's research shows this increases brain activity in regions linked to motivation, mainly The ventral striatum

It only takes 2–3 minutes

But the benefits last all day.

You’ll feel more confident, reduce stress, and train your brain to focus on solutions instead of problems.

It’s not about tricking yourself—it’s about tapping into the science of how your brain works.

So, why not try it tomorrow morning?

In fact, why not try it TODAY!
