True power of Affirmations?

[Jamie Universe]

So I just had this thought, I'm doing a affirmation for school right now that aims towards being responsible. And I remember one of the points in Leo's video about affirmations, and he said "the longer you do it the more you get out of it". And typically the cap is around 3 months. So then I thought - What if I did it for like a year?

There's a thing we call a retreat to maybe meditate or do physcadelics or etc. and the fact of doing a retreat is that you (maybe not in all cases) want it to be hard, so you can gain something from it. So if we did an affirmation for being mega-disciplined and we really honed it in to our brains, would we skip out on years of trying to work yourself up on stage turquoise of spiral dynamics? Though I feel there could definitely be other limitations, and some complication's. 

one for example is authentic desire and motivation vs. discipline. Would I be hurting trying to discipline myself very hard? Or is it more emotionally worth it to take longer but also be happier? 

This sounds for sure like something to contemplate. But I don't know, any thoughts?

Yeah affirmations are awesome. i used these mantras and affirmations to reprogram my mind

i am less hostile to be people because I affirm to myself (Everyone plays the role intended to him in the universe by the supreme, so everything is normal and there is no such thing as good or bad)

I am less fearful of death than before (death is not the end, death is not scary, life is not more important than death, I believe there is life after life, i will wait and see)

I also use for assertiveness(People will not hesitate to use my resources if I made them available, or put their **** in my mouth if my mouth is open or **** in my hole if I left it open, that's where the boundaries and saying no comes to play)

@Your place at Heart Good for you!

 

I don't know if I'll do it this year because I'll be busy because of school, but I think I'm going to try super-powering my discipline using affirmations and see how it goes.
