It’s easy to make fun of affirmations. For me, it always reminds me of the Saturday Night Live sketches with Stuart Smalley where he says, “I’m good enough. I’m smart enough. And doggone it, people like me.” That’s why I always hesitated to learn about them, or maybe it’s because of my dislike of “positive thinking” and cognitive behavioral therapy. Whatever the reason, when given the chance to review “Fearless: 27 Affirmations to Change Your Life” by Mama Rose, I decided it was time to give affirmations a chance.
According to Mama Rose, “Affirmations are statements that we say to ourselves on purpose to affirm the parts of our identity that we would like to make stronger.” “Fearless” details the author’s own struggles and then discovery of affirmations.
Perhaps what makes “Fearless” stand out is the work Mama Rose suggests putting into the affirmations. The author explains concepts such as identity, energy, emotional octaves, frequencies, and more. The book discusses multiple ways to journal, which is great for the journaling adverse, such as myself.
Each affirmation is a chance to learn more about yourself and evolve. Working with these affirmations is not just some fluffy, Saturday Night Live. It is WORK. It is taking a long look at yourself and finding honesty. “Fearless” cannot replace a professional therapist but using it in tandem would probably be amazing. And for someone looking to learn more about themselves, it’s a great tool.
