⚠️ This post is a long read, but worth it if you want to see a REAL WORLD EXAMPLE of how affirmations truly work and not a bunch of woo woo talk When people talk about affirmations, the focus is usually on what to say and how often to repeat it. But this understanding is only part of the equation. And actually a very small one. I’m going to show you what I mean through my own experience with affirmations, and shifting my identity from USPS postal worker to a traveling metaphysical speaker. The misunderstanding about affirmations is that “words create your reality”. Ehhhhh…. Truth…… but not the full picture. The reason most people don’t get results from it is because 👇🏽 ⚠️ Affirmations can only carry as much weight as the identity behind them. You can repeat the same affirmation every day, but the weight those words carry depends on how deeply you know who you are. The words matter. But who you believe yourself to be when you speak them matter more. And this is where the attachment to your name’s meaning turns into a TOOL and not just a cool thing to know . Example: In 2016, I began affirming, “I am a traveling speaker & teacher”, while still in the identity of a sales rep for USPS. (And it started happening consistently around 2018. The photo is from 2019) But at the same time, I had wrote a journal entry in 2016 that said “I must kill doubt”: So how did I do that?? Well…….. What I didn’t know is that doubt is not to be killed. It is to be alchemized. And that affirmation about being a traveling speaker and teacher wasn’t just pulled out of my desire. It was pulled from my name and natal chart. This was part of the recipe for alchemizing doubt. In 2016, I formed BlaQ Fire Nation and I wanted to test how real it was, so I held an in-person class. Had approximately 15- 18 paid people in that room and shocked the hell out of myself 😳😂 The challenge was that I still doubted what I was doing because of all the online hate I was getting (and still do get)
