Dispelling the common “I Am” fake guru prefix

It’s great to have you here! If you’ve tried affirmations before and ended up feeling frustrated, you’re exactly where you need to be. This module dives deep into the common pitfalls of traditional affirmation practices. We’ll explore the disconnect between the promise and the reality of affirmations, critique the pervasive “I Am” guru prefix, and uncover why many people approach affirmations completely wrong, leading to unmet expectations and frustration.

I want to start with a bold statement: Most people are getting affirmations wrong—and I’ve certainly made those same mistakes myself in the past. It’s easy to feel like affirmations just don’t work, especially when you repeat them daily with little to show for it.

But honestly, what do those phrases truly mean to you, and how does simply saying them create your reality?

Lets dive in on how to create affirmations that prime your brain for success.
