This concept is so important if you are trying to become a better version of yourself. You cannot progress past your old patterns and beliefs if you are constantly reaffirming them to yourself Whether it’s your thoughts, what you say about yourself, or what others say about you, even if it’s “just a joke” YOUR BRAIN WILL START TO BELIEVE IT’S TRUE This is called the illusory truth effect in psychology, and it’s way more powerful than most people realize Elevate the things you say and hear about yourself, and your brain will start to believe it’s true and find evidence for those things in your life Affirm the life you want to live and the person you want to be, and you will start to manifest it into your reality Save this, so you never forget Send this to a friend who should stop making jokes about themself #neuroscience #spirituality #psychology #inspiration #growth
