Why Your Affirmations Aren't Working (and What to Do About It)
Feb 15, 2025
Do you ever felt like you're chanting affirmations into the void with zero results? You're not alone. Many of us find that despite our best efforts, those positive phrases don't seem to translate into real-life changes.
The truth is, there's a powerful force at play that might be sabotaging your affirmations: your subconscious mind.
The Subconscious Saboteur
Your subconscious mind is like a vast storehouse of beliefs and programs, many of which you've accumulated over a lifetime. It's a collection of everything you've experienced since birth, and perhaps even from past lives if you believe in that sort of thing. These beliefs and programs operate beneath your conscious awareness, influencing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in ways you might not even realize.
Think of it like this: you're consciously affirming "I am a magnet for money," but deep down, your subconscious might be clinging to an old belief like "It's not safe to have money." These conflicting beliefs create a tug-of-war, preventing your affirmations from taking root.
Why Subconscious Beliefs Matter
These subconscious programs can stem from a variety of sources, including childhood experiences, cultural conditioning, and even past-life trauma (if that's your jam). They can create powerful blocks in your energy field, preventing you from manifesting your desires, no matter how many affirmations you repeat.
For example, if you experienced financial hardship as a child, you might have subconsciously developed a belief that money is scarce or that it's not safe to have. This belief can then sabotage your efforts to attract abundance, even if you consciously desire it.
Uncovering Your Subconscious Blocks
So, how can you identify these hidden blocks? One powerful technique is muscle testing, a way of using your body's responses to tap into your subconscious beliefs. Thsi is something I'm going to be teaching in an upcoming mini-course launching soon.
These tests can give you a glimpse into your subconscious beliefs and reveal any hidden blocks that might be sabotaging your affirmations.
If you're intrigued by testing out if the affirmations you've been saying are not aligned with what is programmed in your subconscious, and you want to learn how to release these subconscious blocks, I invite you to join my upcoming course by joining the waitlist!
