Episode 3118:

Joel Bein explores the common skepticism surrounding affirmations and reveals their potential inefficacy due to underlying negative beliefs. By sharing his personal journey of overcoming deep-seated doubts, Bein illustrates how confronting and resolving these internal conflicts can empower affirmations, transforming them from self-help clichés into valuable tools for self-improvement.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://joelbein.com/blog-1/2024/01/02/do-affirmations-work-how-to-effectively-employ-affirmations-by-clearing-negative-beliefs/

Quotes to ponder:

"Most people have opposing, negative limiting beliefs buried in their subconscious mind. So, adding a positive affirmation on top becomes akin to spraying dog crap with some air freshener."
