The primary value of a SuprAff (Super Affirmation) is it's ability to help change specific habits without effort or willpower, but- unless you repeat them daily, (preferably out loud and with some strong emotion) for an average of 66 days (according to the latest research), they aren't likely to work for you.
Just reading different positive affirmations occasionally for fun and then forgetting them won't help you eliminate unwanted habits or form new desirable ones.
Now, I know two months seems like a long time, but you'll start getting some results almost immediately with SuprAffs. You'll quickly experience small positive changes in your daily behavior and routine.
Maybe you'll smoke a couple less cigarettes today, drink one less beer tomorrow, skip the french fries the following day (you get the idea).
Granted, some days nothing will be different. That's called relapse and in the early stages of autosuggestion routines like SuprAffs, multiple occurrences of relapse (undesirable, habitual behavior) are part of the process.
But, you can't let relapse bother you. In fact, if you get upset and start beating yourself up after each inevitable relapse (in the early stages of autosuggestion) you'll actually increase the likelihood of giving up before you've given the process a full chance.
Just stick to your SuprAff routine (after all, it only takes about 15 seconds a day to repeat a SuprAff) and you will make progress. Two steps forward, one step backward, it's just a matter of time before you reach your goal.
And remember, most affirmations you see and hear on the internet are pretty worthless (as you've probably found out) and even work against you in many cases. The reason is, most affirmations are too general and don't really “ring true” with your subconscious mind or give it clear useable instructions.
To be effective, an affirmation must be worded to be "believable" and "specific".
And remember, SuprAffs are not just for eliminating unwanted habits, they work great for forming new desirable habits (like exercise routines, nutritional programs, etc.) as well.
