Here's how positive affirmations work in simplest terms

[Spiritual Warrior]

You have a recurring thought, could be anything

You don't want this thought to continue running through your head

You start repeating a phrase to yourself that is the opposite of that thought 

When thoughts are repeated to yourself, they are being inserted into your brain like a filing cabinet

Eventually, some of the papers from the filing cabinet will start to float up to the surface

When this happens, your mind starts to envision a life in which this thought became a reality 

You start to take action because how can you resist this tasty and delicious vision

Things don't just happen for you, you still have to put in the work, but positive affirmations are the catalyst to more positive visions, which will motivate you to get out there and make them come true

True, they are important as part of your inner work toolbox. Two of the best affirmation books I’ve come across are these two:

The Greatest Salesman in The World

- this one contains 10 scrolls 

The Self Talk Solution

- this one has 2500 affirmations that are very powerful. More so than in a lot of new age stuff

True, if you dont programme your mind, by defaut it will be programmed by the chat you listen around you all day. And lets be honest, most of tha chat around can be very negative.
