The Words That Find You When You’re Ready
Take a moment. Breathe deeply. Look at the image. What’s the first sentence or three words your eyes are drawn to?
Was it "I trust my intuition?" Maybe "I am enough," or "Healing is happening?" Or "Release fear," "Protect my energy," "Love flows freely"?
Now pause. How did those words make you feel in your body?
Grounded? Seen? Emotional? Curious?
Now go back and look again. What two other affirmations appeared that you didn’t notice before?
This isn’t just a cute visual exercise. It’s neuroscience in motion. Your brain filters information based on what you believe, expect or emotionally align with. The words you see first reflect the neural patterns and emotional frequencies you’ve been unconsciously living in.
The second round.
That’s the new circuitry trying to fire. That’s transformation beginning.
What Can We Learn From This?
Your brain doesn’t know the difference between a real experience and one vividly imagined.
When you affirm something repeatedly and emotionally, you literally begin to rewire your brain. According to Dr. Joe Dispenza, when you pair a new thought (“I choose softness,” “Peace surrounds me”) with elevated emotion (gratitude, joy, love), you signal to the body that a new future is possible.
Over time, the old neural architecture of self-doubt, fear, and hustle-for-worthiness begins to break down.
But here's the key.
Repetition alone isn’t enough. You must feel it. Live it. Choose it again and again, even when your environment stays the same. Because true change doesn’t wait on your surroundings to shift. It begins with your consciousness.
Affirmation Activation
Write down the first three affirmations that stood out to you.
Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Speak each one aloud, slowly, with feeling.
Ask yourself “what would it look like to act as if this were already true?”
Now, write down two new ones that appeared after revisiting the image.
Reflect. What changed in me that allowed these to appear? What is rising to the surface now?
This is how we begin. With curiosity. With repetition. With presence because, your brain is not your past, it’s your potential.
If this stirred something in your spirit, let’s talk. Drop your first 3 affirmations in the comments, then tell us what shifted when you looked again.
Like this post if you’re committed to retraining your mind with purpose. Share it with a sister who needs to be reminded that change comes, sometimes subtly, sometimes boldly but always when you’re ready to see.
