Are Affirmations Bad? Can It Be Dangerous For Your Subconscious Mind?

The law of attraction goes hand-in-hand with Affirmations. You won’t find any book, blog post, or LOA guru talking about manifesting and not mentioning affirmations.

And they are right. Subconscious Affirmation is the fastest and the easiest way to program your subconscious mind. No matter what the affirmations target. Whether it’s money, relationships, house, job, business, you name it. Affirmations can make it possible.

But the question is whether affirmations can be harmful? Can it be dangerous for the subconscious mind?

Well, that’s what we’ll know in this post…

Are Affirmations Harmful?

Affirmations can be superb for some people to help them think more positively, but they only work for some. It’s important to use affirmations that feel real and make sense to you. Sometimes, if subconscious affirmations make you feel bad or seem too good to be true, they might not be helpful. It’s up to you, so figure out how they make you think and feel.

If I can keep this to the shortest, affirmations can be harmful/bad when turned against your emotions and feelings.

Here’s my experience with the so-called positive affirmations that messed me up for months:

I was in debt, which I really wanted to pay off. And this is where all the problems start. I was more focused on the debt rather than increasing my earnings. Unfortunately, I was too focused on the debt and ignored the fundamental law of manifestation: you only focus on the positive, not the negative. 

So, I enthusiastically created my own list of affirmations focused on paying my debt and turned them into subliminal messages. I started listening to them for hours every day. Days, weeks, and even a few months passed. Nothing happened. I was in a worse situation than before and even more frustrated and anxious. 

Then it suddenly struck me… Oh no! I’ve been doing it all wrong. I stopped listening to the subliminal messages and created a new list of affirmations focused on earning more. 

Again, I started listening to the subliminal messages with the same enthusiasm. But this time, things were completely different. I started receiving opportunities to earn more. The affirmations were working. 

And eventually, I paid all my debt. What’s the better part? The debt was long settled, but I earned more than I could spend. I still am earning more than what I spend. 

Can Positive Affirmations Be Bad Too?

It might be a peculiar question, but can positive affirmation be bad for you?

Honestly, it depends! 

Something that is positive/good for you may be negative/bad for someone else. This situation is much more evident when you’re trying to manifest a person. 

Hence, an affirmation like “(the person) is in a relationship with me.“

In this situation, you’re trying to manifest not something but someone. It’s a person who has their own life, thoughts, and future. 

They may not want to be with you, but you’re trying to bend their reality according to yours.

So, positive affirmations can be wrong/bad in some cases, but they’re good for you in most cases. 

What Are Some Examples Of Bad Affirmations

I can write a book on how most people bombard their subconscious mind with negative affirmations. Most of their days are spent on negative self-affirmations about almost everything. 

These are some of the examples of harmful affirmations:

1. Nothing works for me.
2. I’m always unsuccessful at everything I do.
3. I don’t feel good
4. What a pathetic day it is
5. I’m so ashamed of myself. 
6. It won’t work.
7. No matter how hard I try, I will fail.
8. I’m so unlucky & unfortunate.
9. I’m a loser.
10. I hate everything.

Pheww…It was so painful to write this list of 10 points. If you’re in pain too while reading this list, then it’s a good symptom. Because that means your mind & subconscious mind are not accepting these suggestions.

On the other hand, if you feel normal while reading this list, you’ve achieved complete control over your mind, or your thinking is too pessimistic. Which is not a good thing.

Try a little hard to turn your negative thinking into positive. And the best way to do it is to write your own affirmations and make subliminal audio with those affirmations.

How To Protect Yourself From Bad Affirmations?

Well there are various ways to protect yourself from bad/harmful affirmations. I’ve written extensively about how to protect yourself from negative subliminal affirmations in another post, but I’ll give a brief about it here…

(1) The very first thing you must avoid is to download subliminal affirmations from public sources like YouTube.

(2) Create your own affirmations and make your own subliminal affirmations audio.

(3) Don’t share with anyone that you’re manifesting something.
