In an attempt to change their lives, many people repeat positive affirmations over and over but that doesn't really work because it doesn't get rid of their existing negative beliefs, which overrule the affirmations. What you really need is a mental & emotional purge to eliminate all those negative voices in your head that say “I can't do that”, “I'll look stupid”, "I'm not good enough", "I'm a fraud”, “I can't do this", or "you'll just screw it up anyways, so why try", so the mental & emotional purge is just like upgrading software on your computer... you rewrite the base programming. Without removing the negative, emotions, images, thoughts and beliefs that were already there then you're going to have to spend years, maybe even decades doing meditation & affirmations in an attempt to override them. And it's not your fault that they're there. Most of these negative beliefs and limiting decisions were embedded by your parents and other people so it's not your fault. They just didn't know what they were doing and repeated what their parents did to them and so you got stuck with all this negative programming. The mental & emotional purge will allow you to release this lifetime of negative programming and with the negative voices gone you'll get out of your own way and allow yourself to jump into the best version of you so that you can live your best life, feeling good enough and confident in your self.
