feel good and prioritize yourself so that you can actually allow the things you deserve in life in. your standards and happiness should never be up for debate.
The reason that robotic affirmations and processes like it work is because you are a vibrational being and when you think a thought you automatically activate that vibration. The law of attraction automatically brings you more of the frequency that you activate and with consistently you become that frequency fully. Now you are in vibrational alignment with what you want. I have helped so many people manifest large sums of money, divine love, perfect health, etc. and you can just manually repeat affirmations in your head.
