The image features a bridge under a cloudy sky, with text stating "Neuroscience explains why affirmations don't work for some people, and it's not because you're doing them wrong." It introduces the topic of affirmations and their effectiveness.
Over a bridge background, text explains affirmations as neural training tools. It details how the brain's prediction-based nature flags affirmations contradicting self-concept as false, attributing resistance to the prefrontal cortex protecting coherence.
Against a bridge backdrop, the image explains that affirmations work through neuroplasticity, strengthening neural pathways via repetition and emotional safety. It notes that stress, trauma, or shame activate the amygdala, blocking integration.
why your affirmations may not be working for you~
Affirmations donโ€™t โ€œfailโ€ because youโ€™re doing them wrong. They fail when they ask your nervous system to leap somewhere it doesnโ€™t feel safe yet. Your brain is prediction-based.

how to know if youโ€™re overtraining
overtraining is a mistake thatโ€™s actually pretty common! Especially if youโ€™re new to the gym and you think that the way to gains is to work as hard as possible! Itโ€™s true that you need to challenge yourself in the gym but your muscles grow during rest! You should be sure to listen to your body
