Affirmations and Goal Visualization

[TreyAllDay]

What are your thoughts and experiences on the concept of Affirmations and Goal Visualization in pursuit of your goals? What are some things you try? I am in the middle of documenting my experiences as part of a podcast and would love to have some insight from other entrepreneurs. I agree math is the universal law. IE: quantity sold * revenue will always be what creates wealth. However, using the affirmations, daily goal review, and visualization here are some my results from the first month:

- Grown my monthly subscription revenues about 35% from 10.5k to 13.5 K in 24 days.
- Stayed on my diet 14 days (since I introduced health affirmations/goals) and lost 5 lbs and feel completely different about it - it feels natural.
- Almost completely gave up liquor, videos games, and most tv.

Seems there are two world views on affirmations
1- This isn't anything mystic - it's just habit building. At the end of the day, I sold more subscriptions so earned more and ate less calories so lost weight. Forcing yourself to face your goals daily just makes you work the math better and get to work.

2- I'm currently researching and some experts literally believe your thoughts are energy that will materialise. A little less easy to explain.

Very interesting topic. I would say that achieving certain changes in life require a change in mindset; the way we think and our beliefs.

Growing into a leadership position at work for example. Being a leader requires a very different outlook on life and relationships and groups etc. etc.

It's hard to say which comes first. They're probably mutually reinforcing.

Gratitude journaling has had a positive impact in my experience. Now it's more like abundance journaling. And I often journal writing how I want to choose to see the world. While simultaneously accepting and allowing conflicting thoughts and feelings if they come up. Just acknowledging them and accepting them, without reinforcing them.

Yes - this is an important note too. Mindset changes specifically are likely a large part of it. Heard a take on this recently that humans can only take in a fraction of a percent of the world around them, and changing your mindset will allow you to see opportunities you never would have before, even if they were always there.

Love the idea of gratitude/abundance journaling. Think it is great for your mental health and keeping things in perspective.
