Tal asks, “Is it possible for me to grow taller by affirmations alone? I imagined somebody asking me in an interview in my imagination and I said that “I am 193 cm tall”. I repeated that a couple of times and it really felt different in my legs. If I tell myself something which I’m not, am I not lying to myself? Because it’s all pretending right?”
When you are using affirmation, you are planting the seeds of the ideas which you desire to experience. Effective affirmations will trigger the emotions you have associated with the words you are using in your affirmation. Your subconscious is the realm of emotions and it accepts something as “real” if it FEELS real to you. So, if something FEELS “real” to you, you are not “lying” to yourself – this is by the way the same principle used to beat lie detectors, as they measure your body responses to what feel incongruent to you. And again, if something FEELS real to you in your emotions, then you are successfully programming your subconscious mind and then you can beat lie detectors also, because your whole neurology will be congruent with the idea you are inwardly experiencing as your subjective reality.
If the words you are using in your affirmations do not have much meaning for you, then you may have to repeat the affirmation for a very long time – as long as it takes for the words you are saying to feel subjectively real to you, before the affirmation would produce some noticeable effect.
So, if by repeating the affirmations you are creating a desired feeling in your body, you can be sure that you are setting forces in motion and that if you stick to them, in due time, you’ll have noticeable results also.
