Affirmations are Tools, Not Magic Spells

“Affirmations are not magic. They’re reminders to stay focused on what matters.”​
​– Hal Elrod

Most men avoid affirmations because they feel fake — like looking in the mirror and lying to yourself. “I’m a badass!” when deep down, you don’t believe it.

You’re right to avoid that. Bullshitting yourself never works.

But here’s the thing: Affirmations aren’t about lying. They’re about training your focus. An affirmation done right isn’t fantasy — it’s a commitment.

Don’t say: “I’m unstoppable.”
Say: “I’ve faced worse, and I’m still here.”

Don’t say: “I’m the best.”
Say: “I show up every day and outwork the competition.”

Affirmations are tools — not magic spells. Use them to stay focused on what’s real and what you’re willing to work for.
