I was trying to emphasize in the post that feeling affirmations when you say them is more effective than just saying them and expecting them to work out. Thanks Raj.

Till the time, they are being emotionally felt, I believe there should be no problem with verbal affirmations.

I agree that affirmations need to develop first from the inside of us, rather that trying to force them to happen from something outside. This shows when we are accustomed to being used to a habit we have, and then suddenly changing it with another affirmation that will usually be ineffective. Hi King.

I mean no offense but the universe and the laws and the science behind the working of affirmations is literal. Your sub-conscious mind accepts and materializes it as it is. So I will loose weigh will always be 'I will' never 'I've'. @Hulbert: Affirmations v/s reality that's the show we are running and it is not a fight. Because what you tell yourself is always more powerful then outer condition. I am sorry to say but if you will try to control outer conditions you will have no success and affirmations have no meaning. Affirmations create outer condition no vice-verse. Life is not happening to you, you are creating your life with thoughts you are thinking right now and affirmations are there to change what you've been thinking since so long that now it feels natural and obvious. You've been thinking it so much that when you make a contradicting statement (affirmation) your mind says "LIAR!" That's the fight - inside outside is but a reflection of inside. Oops!

Yes, emotions give our thoughts that extra push it needs to make them work. Thanks Amit. Haha I liked how you used the word gusto in here.

Affirmations work better when they played out in the mind rather than verbally. Through our mind, it has a better chance to turn thoughts into action or creation like you mentioned here. Thank you.

Great writing! Hey Hulbert,

There is a lot of power in repetitive thinking and as you said when powered by emotion, and not just an empty thought it does have the gusto to then send you into the right direction!

Great writing!

If we are a domestic abuse survivor we will want to know this little secret about the proper way to use affirmations to regain our emotional well-being after an abusive relationship.
