Who Is Marissa Peer?

Marissa Peer is a hypnotherapist, coach, and entrepreneur from Britain who has been working for decades with mental techniques for life betterment. Marissa ran a program on Mindvalley called “The Uncompromised Life.” (She also has one about Hypnotherapy on there too!)

I took her course and learned that she had had cancer twice, and she used her mental reprograming techniques to help her body heal. I even wrote about her DICCC method on this site, and I still use this today!

Why use “I am choosing” for your affirmations?

The point of affirmations is to activate your heart energy, which acts like a magnet, drawing the subject of your bliss to you! (This is why affirmations are great for manifestation.)

However, if you don’t believe what you’re saying, or the affirmations don’t utilize your emotions, your affirmations aren’t going to work.

If this is the case, Marissa Peer says to add the words “I am choosing” to the beginning of your affirmations. This is a great way to activate your free will, sovereignty, and empowerment! It creates an affirmation that you can truly believe in when you say it, because it is true!

Another excellent choice for when you’re having a hard time believing your affirmations is to use “Just for today” at the beginning. This helps to relieve the pressure you might feel with making your affirmation a permanent statement in your life. You’re saying that you will center that affirmation, if only for today.
