So I love things that are measurable and I love rating things.

And I would say if you, 10 being you believe it the most, it's so true for you.

Zero being you believe it the least, it's not true at all.

If you can rate an affirmation, a positive affirmation, seven out of 10 in believability, then it is a affirmation I think would be really helpful to use and go seek out more affirmations like that.

And you will, if you start repeating those, that's how the brain works.

But if it is under seven out of 10, then we need to come up with

different affirmations that are similar and in the same realm, in the same direction, but not that affirmation and that you actually believe it seven out of 10 so that it can be useful to you.

And once you find out what those are, so in that example, if the person's really wanted to use the affirmation of I am lovable, that they believe it like two, one, even zero, then we want to start asking them like, what is one thing that you do like about yourself?

Just one thing.

And sometimes that's hard for people to come up with, but for the most part, after some probing, you can get someone to at least say one thing that they like about themselves.

And maybe it's I'm a good friend, or I really like the way that I cook or I like that I'm reliable.

You know, whatever that is, or I think I'm kind or whatever that one thing is, they pick one thing that they like about themselves.

We rate that.

If that makes the cut of seven out of 10, we use that as the affirmation.

And you say that enough times.

The way the brain works is it seeks out more evidence and proof to add to that, to make it more true.

And then you have this like bubble of within a couple of weeks, maybe three to five more believable affirmations that are like that.

And over time, maybe in a couple months.

You might not be able to yet say I'm a lovable person, but you certainly have enough evidence to go against your initial belief of I am not lovable.

And I am not deserving of love from people.
