How Do Affirmations Work?


Your mind has been programmed, mostly on a subconscious level, all of your life. Much of that programming is negative, and might be the cause of anger, frustration and anxiety.

You can take charge of that programming from this point forward, and weed out the self-limiting beliefs that get in the way of your happiness.

This is how (and why) affirmations work when they're done right:

  • You're always affirming one thing or another, whether you realize it or not. When you worry and focus on stuff you don't like, for example, you're affirming those negative feelings that go along with not liking something.

  • The first step is to get rid of those old negative beliefs that are holding you back. Positive, empowering beliefs will have no benefit if there is a strong, negative background program running.

  • Trace each negative belief back to its origin (some kind of pain or trauma), and use these imagery processes to heal those memories...this helps to clear the negative background program.

  • Now you can start daily repetition of as many positive, encouraging, uplifting affirmations as you can think of.

Think of it this way...


"Create deeply embedded habits of positive self talk, and you will see your happiness grow daily."

William DeFoore


Like any skill, the more you practice these affirmations, the easier it will become to just think in a positive way automatically.

These are the nuts and bolts of self love and self esteem. The better you feel about yourself, the more likely you will be to manage your anger and treat others with respect.

What Are Some Good Healthy Anger Affirmations?


With no further adieu, let's jump right into the affirmations. Copy these, and add your own. Keep growing and repeating your list of affirmations until they become an automatic part of your thought processes.


  • I am a good person, and there is nothing wrong with my emotions.

  • I choose to understand and heal the cause of my pain, fear and anger so that I can act wisely and consciously when something triggers these emotions.

  • My anger is my protector, and I choose to understand and honor this powerful emotion.

  • I am learning to express my anger and all of my emotions in healthy ways, so that they become fuel for effective action.

  • My anger does not justify hurting anyone, myself included.

  • My healthy anger is powerful energy, and I choose to align it with my wisdom, my good heart and my values so that it serves me well in reaching my goals and becoming the person I was born to be.

  • I am transforming my healthy anger into calm, focused determination to be a healthy, happy and loving person with excellent boundaries.

The absolute, all-time best way to work with affirmations is through journaling. Learn the guidelines for effective journaling here.
