Dr. Noah St John explains why affirmations work better as questions. Your brain automatically searches for answers to whatever you ask it. Instead of stating "I am successful," ask "Why am I so successful?" to make your brain hunt for proof that's already true.
Why is the sky blue? And, you know, like, yeah. Right. But do you know what that means? Your, your brain is searching for the answer. Your brain is like a computer, but it's searching, right? And so I said, wait a second, if the human mind is automatically searching for answers to questions using the embedded presupposition factor, why are we going around making statements that we don't believe? We say these positive statements, we want to believe them, but for most people, we just don't believe it, right? So an Affirmation, instead of a statement of something that you want to be true, it's an empowering question that where you assume that something already is true.
