Are ‘positive affirmations’ actually creating an inner civil war and blocking your manifestations? Many of us have been told to stand in the mirror and repeat phrases like, “I am wealthy” or “I am worthy.” However, if a part of you doesn’t truly believe these statements, you might be pushing your dreams farther away instead of drawing them closer. This guide will help you move beyond affirmations, into conscious choice for true alignment.
Prefer to watch? I’ve put my video below or if you’re a reader simply continue reading the post.
The Inner Civil War Caused by Positive Affirmations
You’ve been told to stand in the mirror and say things like, I am wealthy, I am worthy, hundreds of times. These are known as positive affirmations. But what happens when a part of you fundamentally doesn’t believe it? You are not actually manifesting. Instead, you’re just starting a civil war inside yourself, and it’s actually pushing your dreams farther away.
Hear me out on this. Forcing a positive affirmation against a part of you that already feels unworthy from an old wound doesn’t actually heal that wound. It just invalidates it. When this happens, that wounded part of you just digs its heels in. Consequently, it creates more resistance and self-sabotage to prove that its reality is the true one.
It’s a tug of war, and guess what? You’re fighting with your subconscious, so you cannot win.
Moving Beyond Affirmations, Into Conscious Choice
So, what is the alternative? Instead of forcing affirmations, you need to make a conscious choice. We need to bring the part of you that believes the self-sabotage paradigm, the part that believes the opposite of your affirmation, into a choice. This allows it to choose with you where you’re going.
When you make a conscious choice, you can honor where you are right now and you can also honor where you’re choosing to go. This process works by aligning every part of yourself and all of the energy that even your self-sabotage patterns hold. All of this energy gets directed into the chosen reality that you choose to create.
You see, even the wounded part of yourself has an immense amount of creative energy. It’s just creating the wrong thing because that’s where its patterns were formulated. Your most potent creative power is usually hanging out in those subconscious loops. The key is to redirect it, not fight it.
