How to Use "I Am Affirmations" Effectively
Here are some practical tips to make the most out of your affirmations:
Consistency is Key
Make it a habit to repeat your affirmations daily. Consistency helps reinforce the new neural pathways you're creating.
Speak with Conviction
Say your affirmations with belief and emotion. The more you feel the words, the more effective they will be.
Visualize the Outcome
As you say your affirmations, visualize what your life would look like if they were true. This adds another layer of impact, making the affirmations more powerful.
Combine with Somatic Exercises
Pairing affirmations with somatic exercises, like the ones found in the NEUROFIT App, can help attune your nervous system and make your affirmations more effective. Repeat your affirmations while doing the exercises.
One of my personal favorites while doing affirmations is the Butterfly exercise:
The NEUROFIT App's smart exercise library matches you with somatic exercises that relieve stress within three minutes.
The Impact of "I Am Affirmations" on the Nervous System
Affirmations can significantly impact your nervous system, by promoting a state of balance and reducing stress. Here's how they work:
Reducing Sympathetic Activation
The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "fight or flight" response. By using calming affirmations, you can reduce this activation, leading to a more relaxed state.
Enhancing Vagal Tone
The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in regulating your nervous system. Positive affirmations can enhance vagal tone, making it easier for your body to return to a state of calm after stress.
The Cleveland Clinic confirms the effect of vagus nerve stimulation in treating states like depression.
The NEUROFIT Ring shows the six possible nervous system states, and the transitions between them.
Expanding Your Window of Tolerance
Your nervous system has a "window of tolerance"—the range of stress it can handle before becoming dysregulated. When combined with somatic exercises, I Am affirmations can help expand this window, making you more resilient to stress. To understand more about this, see our article on chronic stress buildup.
A balanced nervous system is better prepared to handle stress and challenges.
