Why your mantras and affirmations aren’t working.

Why your mantras and affirmations aren'tI’ve been speaking to a lot of women recently who have been trying to improve their money situation and finding it a struggle.

Maybe you’re the same?  You’ve been setting goals, meditating, visualising and saying your affirmations.  But nothing is changing.  Or maybe you receive a flow of money and then it dries up again?

What’s going wrong?  Surely you’re doing all the ‘right’ things?  When the heck are you going to get your success?

All of the above are excellent tools.  They all help to get your mind in the right place and set your intentions, but if you have underlying limiting beliefs then you are going to struggle.

What do I mean by limiting beliefs?  Well, let’s say one of your mantras or affirmations is, ‘I am a money magnet’.  So you say this to yourself, you write it on post-its, you meditate on it – great.

But what if there is a voice in your head saying, ‘Yeah right!’  What if you have an underlying belief that says, ‘I can’t attract money for toffee’ or ‘I’m a money repellant!’

If you have a conflicting belief running underneath your mantra or affirmation, then it’s going to be really hard work making your new, positive belief stick.

‘You have to clear out the crap to make space for the good stuff.’  Tweet: You have to clear out the crap to make space for the good stuff.

You have to do some mental de-cluttering to make your mantras and affirmations work for you.

So, how do you do this?

The first step is to notice your underlying ‘crap’ (that’s a technical term if you were wondering!)

Say your chosen mantra or affirmation out loud and then pay attention to any, ‘Yes, but…’ statements that come up for you.

They might sound like:

‘Yes, but I can’t do that!’

‘Yes, but that’s not for people like me!’

Or the classic, ‘Yes, but I’m not good enough!’

The second step is to write down all of your, ‘Yes, but…’ statements.  Out them!  Get them out of your head and on to paper.

The third step is to take each one and look for evidence to disprove it.

So, if your limiting belief is, ‘Yes, but I’m not good enough’, write down ALL of the evidence to the contrary.  Write down all the ways you are good enough.  Go to town.  Celebrate your greatness!

Do this with each limiting belief you discover.  Prove that nagging, doubting voice within you wrong.

When you take yourself through this process, you make space for your beautiful, empowering new beliefs to take hold.  Your mantras and affirmations will stick!
