think hard not to overanalyse and overthink about this stuff , but also think might help despite try and overthink less ? so like ... affirmations , and especially audio subliminals .
think affirmation can be one part in puzzle , but need to first understand what want and how . giant wing affirmations can not change nature of human body , and if go in with this expectation ... will be disappoint and discourage .
also not think just as simple as " think about something will guarantee that thing " - thought alone is not some universally strong power , and , unfortunately have experience with ways people can use this to hurt and suppress others , make cult like environments if not outright cults . so , more than just think good things - need think with intent and focus .
but affirmations can be way to channel desire into more actionable energy and magic . in other words , very useful with low skill set and knowledge , not much time and material to invest , or otherwise need something quiet and secret .
there is also something to say for , in specific , " fake until make " positive self talk . if repeat everyday that look beautiful and people happy to have as friend ... then even if nothing at all change , might start to feel true .
but again . still some barriers do and will always exist - can not just , overrule things about physical world , or expect drastic change like wings or tail . unfortunately ! unfortunately . what might see for body changes is in spirit form - or astral , or headspace , or whatever else .
and most if not all things still take more work than just affirmation - magical work , but especially mundane work .
subliminals ... even more weird . not think entirely useless , but point is that ... brain subconsciously pick up on near inaudible messages , and this work as affirmations do , but with even less effort .
will be honest : think subconscious just , do not work like that . think use from these things come down to someone make with particular intent ...
which is to say , think idea would make sense most if each person that want subliminals , would personally craft these for self . or like , commission specific request from someone with better skill , but point is : custom personal tracks with very specific desire and intent , to focus and meditate on , then work that into bigger magical and mundane efforts .
as pretty as public subliminal tracks can be , not feel as if big enough effect to help toward goals unless know very exactly what want , and have realistic expectations ... which often not design for , and thus muddy intent .
if confuse , picture like this : 2 people stand over cauldrons, and both want make pretty purple water . one person have shelf with ingredients in all colours of rainbow , all neatly organise , and water is perfectly clear . other person have messy shelf - not even sure if any ingredient here is right shade of purple , might need mix something up , and ick what is that murky green thing ?
to work with tools of intent design by someone else can be something like that second example . not necessarily impossible , but can not always know what creator put in , or how to rearrange and interpret these pieces to make what really need . sometimes can take so much work to effectively use these tools , that might as well just throw out and start with something original .
as well as positive self talk effect , think figure out another reason subliminals seem to work for people - to some small degree anyway , mostly effects about appearance and health .
some subliminals come with tips like drink water and eat good fresh fruits .
hydration can do so much good for everything in body , and of course so can nutrients in fruits . if did not get enough before , then yes , more will probably make feel better and look healthier . not because of magic , just , because of basic body needs .
