The first and most common mistake that most people make when using affirmations is that they just go about repeating a group of words and statements mindlessly.
They usually do it in a monotone voice, totally unfocused on the task at hand, simply going through the motions and mouthing the words. With this approach, it’s no surprise that some people might get the wrong impression about affirmations and their efficacy.
In contrast, when doing affirmations you should approach the experience with total focus on what you are doing. You should recite the words and statements with feeling and emotion in your voice. Also, the tonality and tempo of your voice should be congruent with or match the kind of statement that you’re making to yourself.
The second most common dilemma that people run into when first trying affirmations is that they sometimes feel uncomfortable with the statements that they’re making about themselves and, as a result, stop doing them altogether. There are two specific reasons for this lack of comfort.
The first is that many people’s experience of affirmations is of having taken them straight from some book, tape or CD. By doing this they’re trying to use statements that were formulated by someone else, for someone else.

The second reason that a person might have felt uncomfortable while trying to use affirmations is that they may have done the affirmations in the wrong mindset. By this I mean, while doing the affirmations they were thinking that the words they were saying to themselves weren’t true, that it wasn’t who they ‘really’ were.
I’ve found that many of the people I’ve spoken to who had this type of experience initially, were thinking things like, “It’s not me,” “I don’t want to pretend to be something that I’m not,” “I feel like I’m lying to myself,” or even perhaps “I feel silly talking to myself like this.”
