Dr. Noah St John says traditional affirmations like "I'm happy" fail because your brain rejects them. His method uses questions instead: "Why am I so happy?" Your subconscious then searches for evidence to support the premise, bypassing resistance.
affirmation, a traditional affirmation, something like, I'm happy, I'm rich, I'm successful, and your brain goes, no, you're not. You know, but that's what the gurus have been teaching us for decades, right? And for most people, it just doesn't work. And so I was very frustrated by this, just like so many people are. But I did something about it, and I invented this process that I call the Afformations Method. So what an Afformation is, instead of saying a statement like, I'm rich, and your brain goes, no, you're not, you ask an empowering question like, why am I so happy? Why am I so wealthy? Why am I always in the right place at the right time?
