Welcome back to The becoming the big knee podcast. I'm your host
Speaker:Djemilah Birnie and you are tuning into minute madness, a
Speaker:little dose of epicness delivered in five minutes or
Speaker:less.
Speaker:Good morning, you guys, it's Djemilah Birnie here. So I was
Speaker:just doing my morning affirmations and it triggered a
Speaker:thought that I wanted to share with you. So have you ever felt
Speaker:when you're doing your affirmations and you're doing
Speaker:your I am statements and you're saying, you know, I am confident
Speaker:or whatever your statement is, but you don't quite believe it
Speaker:yet you don't quite believe that I am affirmation that you are
Speaker:trying to say. So it feels off, it feels a little silly, or it
Speaker:just doesn't feel right. Well, I've been there and I have a
Speaker:trick that is going to help you. So the problem with just stating
Speaker:those Im statements when you don't actually believe them is
Speaker:you have cognitive dissonance happening where your brain is
Speaker:like, well, I don't actually believe that. And so that's
Speaker:going on in your brain as you're trying to instill these new
Speaker:positive thoughts, these new positive affirmations into your
Speaker:mind. So I want you to try this. If you're doing an affirmation
Speaker:that you do not yet, believe yourself, there's a couple ways
Speaker:to word it so that you can bypass that cognitive dissonance
Speaker:and continue to rewire your brain. So what I do is, I am
Speaker:learning to lean deeper into my intuition or each and every day,
Speaker:I am becoming more patient or I am in the process of knowing
Speaker:that wealth is that unlimited substance. So those are a couple
Speaker:phrases that bypass that cognitive dissonance. And so you
Speaker:can actually say your affirmations continue to rewire
Speaker:your brain continue to have those benefits of affirmations
Speaker:but get them through quicker just your standard I am
Speaker:affirmations after enough time they are going to eventually
Speaker:your subconscious mind is pretty lazy so eventually it's just
Speaker:going to accept it as truth once you do it enough times. But I
Speaker:have found that this process of saying I'm in the process of I
Speaker:am learning each and every day I am becoming more bla bla bla
Speaker:I have found that that helps so much in just making the process
Speaker:that much faster because there's not that cognitive dissonance it
Speaker:bypasses that bypasses the ego it bypasses all of that. And you
Speaker:actually believe it you actually completely believe it in that
Speaker:moment. And belief is the core of everything. That is what
Speaker:we're trying to do is we're trying to swap that belief out
Speaker:so when we actually believe it, it just becomes so much more
Speaker:powerful. But anyways, I hope this tip helps you and let me
Speaker:know your thoughts in the comments below.
