[@numinuminixstix]

Nah, I think he was just trying to figure out what affirmations worked for him. The ones he started out with were silly, but he ended on some great ones. No point in doing daily affirmations if they don't resonate with you.

[@numinuminixstix]

@Caydan Parker That can be part of it, but not the whole picture. Perfectionists often also spend too much time on a task (the whole product... not just the superficial details), double and triple check their work to hopefully prevent others from negatively critiquing it, and look back at their past work with a very critical eye.

[@jcoulton4]

@Caydan Parker Sure, procrastination exists, but so does perfectionism. Building on from what Erica said, I myself spend too much time focusing on tasks (core and details), when I could easily have it completed sooner, but to a lesser standard. It takes me much longer than necessary to write a couple of paragraphs, for example. This was why other people always regarded me as smart in school, even though my exams said otherwise. It's not that I couldn't form great responses for essays, it's just that I didn't have enough time to form them. As for mathematics though, that was easy, since all I needed to do was think about how it needed to be solved, then write out the appropriate formula for it. The only way perfectionism factors in there, is making sure that the formulas are written in their entirety, which is quick to do. I will admit though, that lack of confidence can affect how long it takes me to do certain things, such as writing something that I know will be heavily scrutinised. It's still important to note that, while it can be a factor, it's still far from the whole reason. Another way that my perfectionism manifests itself, is through my OCD. My OCD requires me to make sure things are even and equal. I don't really want to say how a large part of this occurs, since you'll think I'm crazy (hey, disorder **is** in the name, I suppose), but as for the perfectionism side of things, an example would be making sure things are lined up of a shelf, evenly spaced and facing forward. This caused issues when I worked at a supermarket, since I would be slow with my tasks. The places where I had been would look immaculate, but of course my bosses would focus on the speed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I do understand the apprehension with people using perfectionism as an excuse though. For me, I am apprehensive whenever someone says that they have OCD because they like cleaning. Sure, OCD that results in cleaning exists, but unless you have an obsessive complusion to do it - that you need to do it at the expense of other, more important things - that you need to do it as much as you need to scratch that itchy scab - then it's not OCD. The majority of people I've seen that claim OCD for cleaning, seem like they just want to be quirky, without actually understanding what it entails.

[@daniilblagiy8741]

@@numinuminixstix Yeah, I was actually surprised when he started pulling them off the internet, as affirmations are supposed to be personal in some sense

[@dragonwest5844]

Yes kind of self-defeating. I feel like the root cause of perfectionism is fear of the unknown, confusion or of losing control. The only real way of healing in my mind is to let yourself feel and listen to this state of fear as well as the emotional pain it entails and then at some point clarity and confidence of what to do next will emerge eventually.

I would imagine that sometimes the more successful you become -- and the more eyes that are on you -- the more pressure you can feel to continue that success.

And then you start to lose motivation, feel down, etc. I bet it's tough.

It’s so important. I didn’t wanna do this but I had to do this to change my life. It made me laugh but that’s the most important part. I needed to laugh and relax. Then I can accept myself and life slowly.:)

“I’d rather do cold showers every day for an entire year”. Well honestly, if you did any of your “experiments” for more than a few weeks or 30 days, you’d actually get to see results which are more in line with what the technique or method is supposed to bring you. I really dislike the 30 day challenges or doing something for a week, because it may give you a glimpse of the benefits but that isn’t the real thing. A big part of why meditation, breathwork, and I suppose affirmations, work is because of the dedication and consistency it takes to perform them over an extended period of time. Maybe your problems are arising due to the fact that you don’t stick to things... I mean, I think you are really serious with your gym routine and... look at your biceps! They look great. You could do the same with your mind if you applied the same effort.

True, positive thinking changed my life

This is definitely true, so many of these productivity/mental well being ideas work wonders over the long term and compound each other if done consistently. Tell someone who has never meditated to do it for 30 days and they will not find much benefit or see the point of it, because it hasn't had enough time to rewire the brain. It took me 4 months of meditation to see small changes in my productivity and mood, and then slowly from there on out it got better and better.

[@danyfeldman2945]

Totally agree. Feels like he only scratches the surface of these topics in a superficial manner. The meditation, cold shower and also this one are good examples.

[@Slyleeah]

But then again, he never said he wasn't going to continue. We don't know his life. This was just an experiment to see of he could find some benefits from something he clearly didn't believe in. And apparently he did' so, who's to say he doesn't continue?

[@vitorvian6959]

Here’s a good affirmation “Every day in every way I’m getting better and better” or you can pick a specific thing, example “Every day in every way I am getting more work done”

[@TheDanaYiShow]

"it's fine it's fine no one is going to laugh at me" own it!

[@eatsweetbalance5159]

This was wonderful, thanks for sharing! I also like lofty questions! It’s very similar, but instead of a statement, put the affirmation in the form of a question. “Why am I so good at embracing my imperfections and seeing them in a new light?”

[@jaimetan]

Was so lovely to see this very human side of you... and well done for getting out of your comfort zone and discovering another personal development tool. Part of the “danger” of positive affirmations is when people use it as a way to bypass the uncomfortable, challenging emotions in life. There’s a tendency in the spiritual world to only move towards what feels “good” and “positive”... but we need to also be able to sit with the difficult and challenging emotions and thoughts to move through them - so that’s the other balance to be aware of! ❤️

I completely writing affirmation 3 days and yesterday I forgot to write so what shall I do should I write it from day 1 again.

[@Ankit_Raj10]

Hey Matt. 👋🏻 I seriously wait for your videos every time. You have completely changed my life.

[@tipsgamez4447]

Hello! If you want to make a sort of sequel on this (and please do, I'd love to see your opinion on the more long-term version of affirmations), I'd like to give you a few recommendations: 1. Read the book 'What to say when you talk to yourself' by Shad Helmstetter. It's kinda repetitive and the evidence is overwhelmingly anecdotal but the information in that book has helped me a lot in understanding how to make and use affirmations effectively. 2. Do a 30-day challenge instead of a week long challenge. Affirmations are based on repetition and I think you'll notice the effects from affirmations much more if you do it for a few weeks. I hope this tips will help you if you decide to make a video on it. Take care!

[@taninaarab2894]

I love positive affirmations and that’s helpful for sure! I have been listening to them rather than reading front of a mirror just because I am more auditory than visual person

[@LifeofKairo]

The number of Matt's videos that start in bed...

[@anthonyf7008]

Man U are so strong to do this !!! Thanks for sharing your effort.

[@ForrestHanson]

The biceps are lit tho

[@roxannerodriguez7075]

"Progress not perfection" is one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing this with us. It's different to hear a man feeling a lot of the same feelings I do; and then to see a man research and do this kind of self work! It's pretty cool. 😎👍😊

I just wanted to let you know that you've influenced my life so much I've blogged about you as one of the KZbinrs who've shaped my views on personal finance :) Please keep posting!

[@swatikoulsk]

The thing about affirmations is that while you're saying them, in that brief moment you need to feel like you're saying it with your entire heart! So don't just plainly read them out, add a little ✨ pizzazz ✨

[@rickj8405]

Good things are coming my way! I am 100% healthy! My life is changing for the better! I am the creator of my own thoughts! This will be the best year of my life! I will receive amazing news today! Thank you god!

[@DemetriPanici]

*I tried this for 30 days but let’s be honest… a week of Matt doing something is better than a month of me doing it*

[@mcmjr405]

What happened at the end of your 30 days?

[@surbhirajpurohit5341]

Wt happened after 30 days?

[@combatekan]

i've been repeating full time some specific positive affirmation created by myself to assist my own necessity for 20 days so far based on the cientifical experiment called ( the illusory truth effect ) which has been done in 1977 and what i can say is yes it becomes true for you what you're reapeting over and over and over and over and over again .and i can tell it REALLY gets stronger and stronger. the first change that i can say is that you change yourself inside(subjective) first - your mental Pattern,your behavior,your confidence,your feelings,your focus,your vibration and most importantly your BELIEF all of them really behave 100% as exactly you are repeating out loud or even low voice and even if the outside (objective) world still not changed that big the inside (subjective ) world is completely changed for real. another amazing thing is that after this mental Pattern change the outside negativity does not bother you anymore because now this new belief is basicly a shield that protects against anything opposite of it . it's amazing finally you start to see evidences of change in the outside world as well and this gets stronger and stronger andthen when you don't even realize anymore this process because now this affirmation exercise is a normal routine for you you are already living the goal,dream,reality etc... that you've been repeating So i recommend it's worthy (you're invest in yourself rather than destroy yourself) cheers and a great,wealth,health successful life

Daily Affirmations work via the same process as ironically enjoying something. At first, when you engage, you are enjoying something ironically, whether it be some pop music you find cringy, or a video game you think is childish, or the use of the phrase lol as a form of speech. But here's the thing: if you continue to say "you like x" or you continue saying lol as the end of a sentence, your brain decides that this thing you're doing is a part of your ego, a part of the strange loop that is yourself and will drop the irony out of the bottom through the erosion of constant use. Eventually, you'll find yourself enjoying that pop music, or that childish video game, or saying lol out loud like a knob. And this mechanism is hardwired because our ego is, to our brain, the equivalent of our body; anything that threatens it, threatens us. So if you wrap yourself in negative self-talk or self-deprecating jokes, over time your brain will assume that you're saying it persistently because it's a part of your ego. It will be added to the loop. All this pseudo-neuro-science is to say: tell yourself you are enough, and beautiful, and worth of love, and after a long enough time, it'll stop sounding like cringey bullshit because your brain will be like "hey, if I keep saying I love myself, it must be true, let me find evidence to support this". It won't solve all your problems, but it will make everything just the littlest bit easier. How do I know? Because I've been on both sides of the coin; neither are objectively or observably true, but I've told myself self-hating things enough to believe them; and, after several years of saying I'm enough, I finally feel like it. I finally feel like I'm worthy of love. And ready to take on the world. Other elements of my life have changed alongside these to confirm it, but the affirmations have not done nothing. Also, I use lol in speech without a shred of irony. So there is that too. All the best, Matt

[@downfallsky]

thanks for this comment :) all the best for you mate! hope you have a wonderful day everyday ❤️

[@ALifeofLearning]

I loved "I have enough to be happy in this moment". I think everyone is prone to forgetting that they are currently already living a pretty good life, even though more would be possible.

[@Sanskruti-2222]

[@melodybales2038]

Whenever I want to do something good for myself that makes me feel corny and silly I just take it all the way there. Do a little spin, finger guns, get too close to the mirror and breathe all over it. You get the gist.

[@keshinilt]

I tried daily affirmations by closing eyes and telling my self any kind words I may need to hear that day. It didn't take away all of my negative thoughts but I'm now able to catch myself before I go down a dark hole of negative self talk and overall i feel better about myself and more confident.

[@starklelight5085]

I can’t get an image of Mat telling himself that he believes in the woman he’s becoming out of my head 😂

[@ShinyStar611]

I was really hoping he would say that one XD

[@Mirusak94]

I felt really dejected today and then I watched this video and it made me laugh right from the beginning even though I did not expect that it would. I finished the video with a slightly positive mood which is a hell of a change in 14 minutes! Thank you.

[@Christine-kj3os]

When trying to write affirmations for yourself, imagine your friend or a child is telling you all the negative thoughts you are thinking and write down what you would tell them. The wording will be more natural to how you speak 👍🏽 wishing everyone peace! ❤️

[@VihanChelliah]

Love this Matt!! Affirmations are so so important in my own life and help me with getting through my day, which can be difficult sometimes...
