Does anyone else do funny affirmations, or is it just me?
I’ve been trying to build a more positive mindset, and I know my subconscious needs to be tricked into self-love. LOL
People say I’m a ridiculous person, ha, and I’m okay with that.
My current affirmations are “the universe cannot resist me, I am cosmically adorable,” and “I’m so cute, so I deserve an ice cream,”… They are working really well for me, people.
Haha, Love it! Mine right now is basically “Universe, I’m open to amazing things like a lottery win”. Not always, but it works better than meditation sometimes.
I think the reason is that repetition reprograms your subconscious, but only if it’s fun. Nobody repeats “I am a vessel of divine light” 40x if it feels hollow. Your brain craves funny ones.
This thread is making my day! You’re spot on about tricking your subconscious.
I don’t wanna get all scientific, but laughing drops cortisol and relaxes your nervous system, so affirmations bypass our inner skeptic. Humor is pure magick in affirmation.
And, your “I am cosmically adorable” is perfect… I’m gonna borrow it if you don’t mind.
Oh, I love this one: ‘I am a strong, independent acid snake in the skinsuit of a strong, independent woman.’ Not sure where it comes from, found it on Insta.
You sound like my grandma, she even does affirmations in the most ridiculous voices possible. Maybe try in your best cartoon witch voice - see what happens.
Does aggressive self-motivation consider as funny? “Ask not for whom the bell tolls.” The universe seems to respond well to dramatic literary threats, like it respects the energy or something.
Do you think laughing while saying an affirmation raises energy the same way chanting does? It must be the same mechanism. I started using my silly ones right before spellwork just to get my vibration up, and oh my goddess, the difference.
