Yes, Yes, Yes......ABSOLUTELY.
I think affirmations are great! The more you do them the more you consciously believe and therefore become that affirmation.
Louise L. Hay has a wonderful CD called 101 Power Thoughts. It's beautiful to listen to. A must have!
Most of the world's top life coach's will say the same.
Keep up with your affirmations....and at the end of the day...what's the harm????

They CAN work, but there are guidelines.
They have to be sincere.
They have to be believable.
They have to be in a positive context.
Sincere: You gotta believe the affirmation you are giving someone about themselves and their behavior. Fake praise is as transparent as glass.
Believable: You don't tell a 10 year old he is ready for the Big Leagues.
Instead, tell him he has some smooth moves that could take him far if he works to develop them.
Positive context: Telling someone their casserole looks yummy, but no thanks, I wouldn't care for any right now won't cut it. You gotta at least taste it.

They definitely work! Have you ever watched "The Secret"? It deals with the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction simply put is that what you focus on the most is attacted to you. Also science has found that the center in your brain that is responsible for speech, is in control over your body!

Yes I believe so. Negative ones just as much as positive ones so be careful about what you wish for. But they are a lovely way to focus your energies.
A nice one I say to myself, is may I be calm, safe, happy and well and may everyone in the wold be calm, safe, happy and well - just about covers everything I think! :) Warm Wishes

It depends... If you truely believe them then yep they will... If you're amazingly flippant and think too much chances are they won't.
