affirmations also referred to as positive affirmations are phrases that when repeated on a regular
basis can change negative thoughts Behavior patterns and the way we manifest Our Lives
they help us Challenge and overcome subconscious programs that sabotage
any efforts to have what is wanted in life but what exactly do affirmations do to your brain
using affirmations on a regular basis activates the reward centers in your brain
this causes the neural Pathways in the brain to light up and make new connections in other words
just thinking about something causes your brain to send signals and release neurotransmitters
these chemicals control all of your body's functions including your behavior and the feelings
that you experience continued repetition of affirmations over time has been proven to change
your brain your cells and even your genes which is done through neuroplasticity neuroplasticity
is the ability of neural networks in your brain to grow and reorganize themselves to function in a
way that differs from how it previously functioned with consistent conscious input of new information
in turn the nervous system also changes its activity in response to stimuli by reorganizing
its structure a study published in the journal social cognitive and effective Neuroscience used
MRI to reveal increased activity in key regions of the brain's self-processing evaluation systems
when reflecting on future oriented core values as compared to Everyday activities
when focusing on these future-oriented core values it assists in changing our self-image
and our self-concept positive affirmations are a self-help strategy that can assist you in
overcoming self-doubt and fear and creating new beliefs in yourself and your overall abilities
so affirmations have the ability to restore self-confidence and
self-confidence by allowing individuals to reflect on sources of self-worth
the statements that we make to ourselves within our minds and even out loud are all affirmations
we affirm for both ourselves and the outer world and these affirmations are often part of our
old programs that may need some adjustments if we're to manifest what we truly desire from life
we say or think them unconsciously all day every day but conscious affirmations have the ability to
change these outdated thinking patterns when they're used with repetition and consistency
here’s what happens to your brain when you listen to “positive affirmations” every day | how to manifest | your youniverse | manifestation | positive affirmations | affirmations
if you want to change your brain with affirmations you learn to use your brain's so-called laziness
to your advantage what I mean is this the brain is designed in such a way as to make quick decisions
from a subconscious level based on what it has already learned from previous experience
in other words it loves shortcuts and it uses old information to make these shortcuts happen
this is why it's said that 95 percent of our Lives come from our subconscious mind programs
and these shortcuts although sometimes efficient in some ways can sometimes lead to cognitive
biases such as observational selection bias which is the tendency to notice more of something once
you've already noticed it and confirmation bias which is the tendency to seek out and interpret
new evidence as confirmation of your existing beliefs these brain shortcuts are created early
in childhood and developed further over time but this function of the brain can
also be used to our advantage in our adult lives because affirmations have the ability
to stop these cognitive biases in their tracks and teach your brain new ways to view the world
teaching your brain a new way to see things with repetition and over time gives your subconscious
mind reason to look for the evidence that these new statements are true you make the affirmations
repeatedly the subconscious mind begins to store them away as new information and then it sends
that information back to the conscious mind by pointing out proof of the new affirmed statements
so you only need a little consistency and time to begin tuning your brain into the things that
you prefer our brains are programmed in such a way that we perceive what we believe to be true
nothing matters or materializes unless we make it matter or materialize via our Focus
our focus is often centered around the thoughts that we most dominantly think
and affirm to ourselves to be true so the best affirmations are specific goals
centered around what is truly wanted even if we aren't experiencing that just yet
another great way to use affirmations is by affirming self-worth and self-value
affirmations such as these give your brain a very clear set of instructions on what to process and
what to make matter for you and then you'll begin to see that reflect back in your outer world
if you're interested in using affirmations for this purpose
I've left a link to a playlist that I've created in the description of this video
there you'll find affirmations for things such as money love overall happiness health and many
other things to reprogram your subconscious mind so it can begin delivering a new awareness to
your conscious mind in the form of proof in your external world you can incorporate affirmations
into your life with a smaller time commitment than meditation or even journaling even a few
minutes a day is enough to start and begin gaining some benefit and with consistency you can begin
manifesting a new set of experiences through the use of positive affirmations very quickly
