Resumen del Editor

What are positive affirmations? An affirmation is anything that you think or say. This means that even your negative thoughts and words are affirmations. People have become used to thinking negatively, thus resulting in negative experiences and situations. It is important to retrain the mind to think only of good and positive things, so that only positive would also come out of the mouth. This is how you will change your life.

A positive affirmation will open a doorway to the positive changes in your life. It is like telling your subconscious mind to think this way: "I am taking control now. I am taking full responsibility. I know that I am in for some big changes in my life". Affirmations are a play on words, in a way - you choose the words that will either help you get rid of something in your life or create something new instead. Your every thought and every word is an affirmation. So, your self-talk and the internal dialogues that constantly occur are a stream of affirmations. This only means that both your conscious and subconscious thoughts have a huge impact on how your life goes. You are using affirmations every moment of your life. You are creating your own reality through your thoughts. If you only have fear and doubt, then you will attract only negativity. Same thing is true for positive thoughts. If you can release all those fears and doubts, then you will be free.

About the worst narrator for an ADHD audience

Monotone narration. Not great for adhd. You’d think a book about adhd would know better.

Not very ADHD friendly

Affirmations are helpful to have at a slower rate because you can repeat them or let them sink in. Personally I listen while I’m putting makeup on so that I’m doing something.
If you are new to affirmations some of the information can be very helpful. Thinking about your goals in vivid detail for example.
However, if you have ADHD you will not be able to believe many of these affirmations which can actually cause more negativity.
Rather than saying “I am able to remember important information” it would be better to say something like “I will put important information on my calendar after learning it.” Or “I will check my calendar today” or “I write down appointments immediately.” Or “I create peace by paying my bill ahead of time”
If our brain automatically thinks “ha! I can’t” then the affirmations actually work to grow negative thoughts and affirm them instead.
ADHD brains don’t want to forget things or be late, we do need to learn how to handle them better. We need to learn grace in order to move on.
I also felt that this book puts too much emphasis on “the universe” and therefore tries to make affirmations more of a personal spiritual worship.

Monotony

A previous reviewer stated that the narrator is monotonous and they are not wrong. This person is so monotonous, it's hilarious. I started listening to it, to see if it was worth the approximate 35 minutes of wasted time. It's subjective, in my opinion, I couldn't turn it off because the narration, voice and accent entertained me. But, for some It would be annoying.

Great affirmations that I’ll listen to everyday

These are down to earth affirmations that would benefit everyone, no matter who you are or what you believe❣️
They don’t bring any scriptures up, although I wouldn’t have minded that, but just a lot of good Common Sense Positive Affirmations that we all should live by❣️😇

Painful

This program was painful to listen to...he spoke so slowly i had to put it on 2.5x just to not trail off. Glad it was free because yikes.

slowwwwwww

this narrator is such a slow talker it's maddening. I had a yank the speed up to two.

not empowering just frustrating

if you want to listen to a man read affirmations about how you can choose to focus if you want to (even though physiologically that’s not how it works) this is the book for you. if you are looking to fully accept your neurodiversity and are looking for empowering texts and affirmations, i suggest you look elsewhere.

Not specifically ADHD oriented

Narrator good, but not specifically oriented to ADHD. Affirmations were good, effective, but could apply to anyone in the general public.

Was not what I was expecting. ok, but disappointed. Title is misleading.

Doesn’t understand ADHD

Wow. The author essentially looked at a list of ADHD symptoms and said for each “I choose not to have this symptom” - “I choose to be able to concentrate”. That has zero understanding of how ADHD works, or the struggles we face. You can’t just “turn off” ADHD. I was hoping for empowering messaging - this was condescending and patronizing.

Not written for people with ADHD

Omg, I thought the other reviews were joking but Jesus I was pulling out my hair trying to stay focused on the guy's voice. He.is.so.slow.and.boring.and.constantly.pausing. like, for real, you'll need to put this on 3x speed for it to sound normal. And like others said, very monotonous. I'm sure he wanted to be very clear or something but the only thing that's clear is this audio book wasn't actually made for the audience it's supposed to be for. I can't imagine someone with ADHD actually making it through this booklet, and it's only a half hour long, that's how bad it is!
