That is awesome Joan! That really is wonderful!

I agree completely - you need an affirmation you can bring yourself to believe in. Sometimes you can take baby steps along the path, encouraging yourself.

I might not be able to believe "I can run a marathon" but I can believe "I can go for short walks every day".

Hi I realise I'm a bit late to enter this conversation but maybe it'll be useful anyway. I don't believe affirmations work very effectively while you've got negative self talk going on. The reason some affirmations work very quickly is because you absolutely believe them - and it's the belief that brings them into reality. When you've got negative self talk going on it completely undermines the belief that you're trying to establish with the affirmations. Using EFT straightens out the energy blocks that are caused by the negative self talk and the things that have happened to you in the past to build that negative belief. Then, once you're clear of the blocks the affirmations can take hold. I love to start each day with tapping while saying gratitude statements such as 'I'm grateful for my home and family'; 'I'm grateful for my health and abundance'. That gets me into a wonderfully positive frame of mind and I can follow up with the affirmations that are becoming true for me. Penny

I definitely agree that negative self talk can affect very strongly how we feel about ourselves! I would definitely still keep saying affirmations though. I have heard from many friends that at first they wouldn't really believe the affirmations - but the more they say them, the more they become a daily habit, the more they seem to become believable. It's like eating liver every day. At first you might really hate it - but after a few weeks it's likely you at least sort of tolerate it smile

I have tried it a few times in my life and it does not work for me even when I truly believe it will.
