Using Affirmations for Personal Growth
If you s- tell yourself or, or write down a hundred times something
about yourself, that writes it into the neurofrontal
cortex at
such a deep level that your brain will start reconciling you
to that.
I was terrified of public speaking until I just sat down for, uh, like a week, and
every day I spent like 10 minutes just writing that I like public speaking.
I love public speaking.
You s- you wrote that down?
Like, yeah, like, and a week later, and I knew it's not this works
when you know
what you're doing, right? Like, you don't even...
It's like, it's not like a placebo.
It's like, it's actually like you just actively
change your
neurofrontal cortex in this moment.
So, um, I, I, I use this often. Um, uh, I, I sort of write
to myself, message in a bottle, um, these kind of things.

No, no, no
... so the point is like, I, I tell-
What's the topic there? Hold on. You write messages to yourself.
Yeah.
Affirmations or just-
No, it's just like, uh, like generally when I feel like something
is like,
hey, there's something I figured out that I really like, I know I have to
write a scheduled message to myself, um, to remember
it because like I, I need spaced repetition on, on, on the
idea.
