Self affirmations can only change behaviours, not physical attributes.

Any part of your body that is physical, but which does not include eye color, skin color or hair color because neither are considered physical attributes. Physical attributes change or are capable of change, whereas eye color, skin color and hair color do not change with age, such as blue eyes turning brown or black skin turning white or red hair turning blonde.

You didn't even answer my question. Could you please give me an example of a physical attribute that can be changed by self affirmations?

My son had red hair when he was born, now it's blond, plus eveyone goes grey/white as they age. Vitiligo is a condition that causes dark skin to lighten.You didn't even answer my question. Could you please give me an example of a physical attribute that can be changed by self affirmations?

Red hair does not turn blonde, so that was a stretch of your imagination.
Hair turning grey/white with age is not color change, it is a diminishment of natural pigment color in the hair. The natural color of ALL hair is translucent, but it's the color pigment from our DNA that turns translucent hair into it's apparent natural color of black, brown, red or blonde. As we age, that pigment disappears which then leaves the hair it's natural color once again, which is translucent which means grey/white/silver.
Vitiligo lightens skin from dark to a lighter shade of dark which we call brown, but it does not change skin color from black to white which you are suggesting to the contrary. That was another stretch of imagination on your part.
The physical attributes that can be changed by self-affirmations are body mass, muscle mass, flesh mass, bone mass, ALL diseases that affect the physical body and all thought-of-the-mind that affect the physical brain.

Precisely. If the pigment known as pheomelanin stops being produced, red hair fades to blond.

Sounds like you agree with the premise that skin can change colour but you disagee with the degree to which it can happen. If melanin production drops to zero, that skin would be considered "white".
What evidence do you have for this? I could see someone using affirmations to change their behaviours to effect those things, ie eating healthy and exercising, which was my original point.
I don't know what this means. Perhaps you could you rephrase it?

No, red hair does not fade to blonde. Blonde hair is NOT translucent hair. Blonde hair is blonde because it contains the color of silver. Silver is not grey and silver is not what translucent looks like. Why do you not understand these things?
No again, I do not agree that skin can change color, meaning that a Black person cannot suddenly find their skin looking like a Caucasian person's skin. This has absolutely nothing to do with the degree to which black skin lightens from black to brown. Why do you not understand these things?
What evidence do I have? Very dumb question to ask me. Prove that I'm wrong.
Of course you don't know what my quoted statement means. If you did, none this conversation would have continued past my first post.
