Your appearance is a representation of how you feel on the inside. If you don’t like what you see in the mirror, it’s time for a change. But, instead of opting for surgery or costly procedures, is there a natural and less intrusive way to change your appearance?

Can Affirmations Change Your Appearance?
Affirmations have the ability to change your appearance because you are using positive self-talk to transform your mindset. If your affirmations are specific on one physical change you are more likely to change your appearance with affirmations instead of using multiple affirmations at once.
There is evidence that affirmations can change your appearance. A study published in the journal Psychological Science found that people who regularly practiced positive self-talk (affirmations) had more confidence in their appearance and felt better about their bodies. So, if you want to improve your appearance, start practicing some positive affirmations.
10 Ways to Use Affirmations to Change Your Appearance
Changing your appearance with affirmations is very possible but you must have faith, belief and confidence that you can change your appearance. If you have any self-doubt it will block your affirmations from working and reprogramming your subconscious mind.
Here’s my favourite ways to make affirmations work faster and more important help you achieve your physical appearance transformation.
1. Be Specific With Your Affirmations
When it comes to using affirmations to improve your appearance, you need to be specific. For example, if you want to get rid of wrinkles, then your affirmation should be something along the lines of “I am thankful for my wrinkle-free skin.” This is powerful because you are specifically targeting the issue that you want to improve.
If you try and use multiple affirmations at the same time and you pick different areas of your appearance to change at the same time it will only make it harder for your affirmations to work. For instance, you want to change your nose shape but you also have affirmations about eye colour and skin tone. This will confuse your unconscious mind resulting in nothing happening.
2. Write 15 Positive Affirmations
It’s important to have a list of positive affirmations that you can refer to when you need a boost. These affirmations should make you feel good about yourself and help keep your thoughts positive. Your list of affirmations need to be on the same topic, like height growth or weight loss. All your affirmations need to work together on one specific area of change.
You can use more affirmations but remember you have to either write them out or speak them aloud several times a day. The more affirmations you have the long it will take. The likelihood is you will be distracted and lose motivation and stop using affirmations after a few days.
3. Use Your Affirmations 3 Times a Day
For affirmations to be effective, you need to use them regularly – ideally 3 times per day. The best times are in the morning when you wake up, in the afternoon around lunchtime, and at night before bed. By repetition, you are ingraining these positive statements into your subconscious mind which will then show on your outward appearance. How long to affirmations take to work? Read this post.
4. Turn Your Affirmations into Subliminal Audio
If repeating your affirmations 3 times per day feels like too much work, then another option is to record them as a subliminal audio track. You can either do this yourself using a program like Audacity or find premade tracks online. Once recorded, all you need to do is listen to the audio track once per day – while sleeping is often the best time as your subconscious mind is more open to suggestion and its less effort.

5. Use Visualisation When You Use Your Affirmations
Affirmations are more effective when used alongside visualisations as this engages more of your senses and creates a stronger impression in your mind. So, as well as saying your affirmation out loud, also imagine what it would look and feel like if it were already true. How would your skin look? How would people react to you? The more vivid your visualisation, the better.
Using visualisation after your affirmations or when you listen to your affirmations are the best method. Think about the appearance change you desire and hold it in your mind for as long as possible. Visualisation before sleep is the best way to get your appearance change fast. It’s the technique Neville Goddard called the state akin to sleep.
6. Create A Vision Board
A vision board is a visual representation of what you want to change about your physical appearance. It’s a great way to use affirmations because it allows you to see what you’re working towards. To create a vision board, gather images, quotes, and anything else that inspires you and put them all together in one place. You can keep your vision board in your room or somewhere else where you’ll see it every day as a reminder of what you’re working towards.
7. Repeat Your Affirmations Aloud Before Sleep
This is a great way to reinforce your affirmations and program your subconscious mind for success. Right before you go to sleep at night, take some time to repeat your affirmations aloud several times. The more personal and specific your affirmations are, the better. For example, if you want to manifest clear skin, you could say “my skin is clear and radiant”. How many times do you have to say your affirmations for them to work?
8. Write Your Affirmations Like You Have Already Achieved Your Goal
When writing your affirmations, always write them in the present tense as if you have already achieved your goal. This will help program your mind to believe that what you’re affirming is already true. For example, if you want to manifest a weight loss, you would write “I am so grateful that I now my dream weight and have the body I have always desired”. What about your your phone or computer? Can you type your affirmations instead? Read this to find out.
9. Use Your Affirmations Everyday
The more often you use your affirmations, the better results you’ll see. Try to incorporate them into your everyday life as much as possible. You can use them when you wake up in the morning, throughout the day when you need a pick-me-up, and before bed at night. The more exposure you have to them, the quicker they’ll start working their magic.
Don’t worry if you miss a day or two just return to your affirmations as soon as you can. If you make it part of a regular routine after 22 days it will become a automatic habit and will take no effort at all. Don’t forget to supplement your affirmations with other manifestation techniques such as visualisation, gratitude, and self-care. The more you do to support your affirmations, the faster you’ll see results.
10. Don’t Change Your Affirmations Until You Manifest Your Desire
Once you’ve created your affirmations and started using them regularly, don’t change them until you manifest your appearance desire. The reason for this is because when we keep changing our affirmations, we send mixed messages to the universe about what we actually want which can delay manifestation. So once you’ve got your affirmations down, stick with them until you see results or you no longer want the desired change.
How Long so Appearance Change Affirmations Take to Work?
For some people, it could take a few weeks or months to see results while for others it could take longer. Just don’t give up and keep moving forward with your affirmations until you achieve your desired change. It depends on how often you use them, how much conviction you put behind them, and how badly you want the change.
Some appearance changes happen quickly like weight loss or clear skin. Other take longer because it could mean changing bone structure and your DNA. Physical changes like height, eye colour or skin tone could take 6 months or longer to work.
But over this time you will be building confidence and self-esteem which is worth the effort. So even if the physical changes don’t manifest as quickly as you’d like, know that the other benefits of using affirmations are well worth it.
Change Your Appearance with Affirmations Summary
In order to change your appearance with affirmations you need to be specific with your physical change and only pick one transformation at once. I like to recorded myself reading my affirmations aloud then I create an audio track and listen to it multiple times throughout the day. I also create a subliminal recording and listen for 90 minutes during sleep. My result shave been amazing and fast.
