Is it self help? Or help yourself?

The power of affirmations can never ever be undermined, but there's an old saying that you only get out of something what you put into it. Let me try to explain. Take learning to play a musical instrument. It doesn't matter how gifted a musician may be; all beginners have to go down the same long and laborious path of learning scales. There are some who can't get past this hurdle and give up, yet there could quite possibly be many individuals out there who if they would have perservered and put more time into it could have gone on to better things.

Through personal experience the same may be said about self help using affirmations. The truth is you have to make an effort to help yourself by making a commitment to achieve the end result.
Results may not come overnight, but matters can be greatly enhanced by totally saturating your subconscious mind with positive affirmations and statements, and disciplining yourself to keep at it, and when the time is right the amazing results will come as if by magic overnight. It is then that a realisation will come along that all the hard work was well worth it and also that Rome was not built in a day

Another way to prime the subconscious mind with positive input is to find a favourite paragraph from a self help book, and memorise it. By doing this it will be with you for ever, and you will have helped yourself.
