affirmations

Hi, I would like to ear your own opinion, based on what science tell us. Every time I try using affirmation to get better, either from my pain, or when I'm not in pain, in order to get stronger for a possible relapse, I always get worse. On the other hand, I don't try that much, because I...

Hello all! On the back of conversations in this thread around kickstarting the day with an injection of positivity, I started visually compiling some bumper sticker style mantras/affirmations I look at first thing in the morning. I have found them so effective that I carry the notebook with me...

Hi all. I’m new to this forum and I’m starting on affirmations today. About how long does it take for positive affirmations to start working? What I’m asking is, how long until I can start feeling and seeing a change in myself once I start using these affirmations daily? I’m really excited about...

If you want to get to the subconscious mind then you have to speak to it. In a sense you have to keep bombarding it with information. Anyone with TMS already knows how to do that with negative thoughts and catastrophic ideas. So if it works for that why cant it work to unlearn these things and...

Hi everyone - I'm starting to use affirmations and wondered if anyone else has any they use? Mine, so far are: 'my amazing brain is getting rid of the pain, I am becoming pain free', 'I let the pain in I can let the pain out'

Hi, I'm doing some affirmations to avoid relapses in my TMS chronic pain problem. Unfotunately it seem to do me worst? Why? Because it reminds me bad times, when I was in pain... back than I tryed everything, than I noticed that focusing on other stuff was the solution... Can you please...

Hi, I always had a latent fear inside me. When I wake up in the morning I'm always fearful of the unknown, and what might come. As a child I had problems sleeping because of fear... Fear is my worst enemy... Fear was what made me in chronic pain for all these years. I was cured, but now I'm...

Hey TMS community, So I've given this a little thought and I thought it would be a nice opportunity to create a thread where we could post a new affirmation on a daily basis. I know we are in May, but better late than never to start. Creating a healthy habit takes time and regular practice...

Well, good morning! I am compiling a list for myself to refer to when I start to feel anxious and return my focus to physical symptoms, or start to believe my anxious thoughts. What are your favorite affirmations and/or ways of standing up to your Inner Bully? I find morning the most...

I feel when you try to think positive thoughts or affirmations even imagery, or brains knows its bullshit because our brain don't believe them. Also I feel by doing this we repress negative emotions that we should be dealing with instead of lying to our smarter brain. All comments are welcomed:

So, for the last week of the programme, I did not do everything in it, but I did do affirmations after reading Louise Hay which helped me enormously. I would say that I am about 95% healed. I still get some mild burning in my back sometimes, and sitting late at night makes my sides a bit...

Please post the best positive affirmations that you used in your TMS journey. I would like to break my conditioning using the positive affirmations and feel confident.

ive read quite a few TMS books at this point and now its just a matter of repetition. I'd like to get something audio...a book or lecture series. Any rec's? I've read mind body prescription, Steve o's, healing back pain and David Clarke. Thanks!

WHAT TO TELL YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND (This exercise becomes twice as powerful if you use the tapping motions as defined by the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). They are very easy and you can learn how to apply them by watching any number of YouTube videos. You can also make this more...

Several times since starting tms healing I have tried to use positive affirmations. The idea sounded pretty good to me: say positive things to yourself, change your negative outlook and feel better. But every time I tried, I met with so much inner resistance. It was like part of me was saying...

On another topic, affirmations are supposed to be positive statements and in the present. Therefore, I've modified the 12 daily reminders into affirmation form. Is this presumptuous of me or a pretty good idea. What do you guys think? Has this come up before?

1) I have known people to tell me that they can't make time to read a book. It’s not the books -- it’s their tensive thinking. Really at the beginning stages anything is probably stressful so take time to learn the finer arts of relaxation -- you have so much anxiety built thru this tensive...

When I read back some of my notes on TMS I ran into an affirmation I forgot about... "I accept myself, I appreciate myself and I love myself." This one especially works whenever you have a tendency of beating yourself up all the time about different things. It really helps to quiet down the...
