Is 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 on the positive. Psychologists believe that affirmations and the method of affirmations is purely a personal approach. It is an approach that individuals do in order to make sure that their days will start good and even great.

For instance, when you say to yourself that you are beautiful in the morning, it's got a different effect than when somebody else says it, especially when you could have low self esteem. People with low self-assurance often do not believe the actual compliments, although positive, that others say. Therefore, affirmations and the road towards success of the affirmations generally work from the inside and and this 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 somebody else, it affirms anything within them that will helps them go forward 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 in man. Spoken words are sounds occasioned by the vibrations of thoughts; thoughts are vibrations sent forth by the ego or by the soul".

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

Where Would We Stand Now?

Eventually, the question focuses on 'where do all of us stand now'? Since we know the two views on statements and affirmations, where do all of us stand? Well, the result is simply it depends. People have different personalities and still have different beliefs. For that reason, there are different effects on the subject of people and statements and affirmations.

Hence, if affirmations are not working for you right now. Remember to give it time and you should see a difference when you put your mind and soul in it. Things, even the effect of affirmations, often take time, always keep this in mind.
