Affirmations only work with sincere dedication and faith in its existence. If either or both are lacking, the results are not so obvious. If you do religiously engage in affirming something you want to see a change in, keep at it for a minimum of thirty days. In such a span, you must begin to notice small changes in your circumstances.  However, if it does take you a little longer, there is no need to lose hope or panic. Set aside a couple of minutes every day to practice your love affirmations.
