Rewiring Your Mind: The Power of Questions That Transform

Have you ever noticed how traditional affirmations often feel like you're lying to yourself? In 1997, Noah St. John had this exact frustration while standing in the shower. Instead of continuing to make positive statements he didn't believe, he wondered: "What if I formed empowering questions instead?" This simple shift-asking "Why am I so happy?" rather than declaring "I am happy"-became the foundation of "Afformations," a technique that has transformed millions of lives worldwide. The power lies in working with your brain's natural functions rather than against them, bypassing the resistance that makes traditional affirmations fail for so many people.
