      @mistermircea what’s your view on affirmations as a way to achieve relaxation and peace? (Such as “I am calm and confident”) My view is that it just leads to excessive thinking and going in pointless circles. Thanks!

      They work as a directive & conditioning tool for the mind. They are based on Napoleon Hill's idea of "Whatever the mind can believe, the mind can achieve"; The key word here being "believe". They are placebo-like: If you think they work, they will, and a state change is possible.

      For an overactive mind, they are not a solution. That mind needs to understand non-doing, passivity, observation. Make some room, relax. It's not coincidental that in all religions we have sermons, ceremonies, and the like, to induce a receptive state in the mind.

      I think they have a certain use and value for certain people and at certain times. Scott Adams swears by them and he is not exactly most suggestible person on Earth. It depends on the individual on final analysis, as most everything.

          Regarding your particular question, the mind that needs to be coerced and cajoled to relax or be confident is ipso facto not a relaxed and confident mind. An affirmation might alleviate the symptoms but it rarely addresses the cause, in my view.

          Excessive thinking and going in pointless circles is the default state for the mind, affirmations or not. To use the mind to control the mind is flawed at best, absurd at worst.

          A worthy point of note : The people in Hill's time were raised with a strong capacity for belief, given that time's conditions and religious beliefs. This is not so with modern individuals, who are taught doubt and individualism above all else.

          Really interesting thread! For me, I experience so much cognitive dissonance using affirmations, and I can’t fully believe what I’m saying to myself, because of some of the spiritual books and teachings I’ve learned (I Am That probably being the most influental
