Positive Affirmations
Affirmations are positive statements that can help you to challenge and overcome self-sabotaging and negative thoughts. Affirmations can help individuals build self-esteem, improve confidence, and promote positive thinking. Repeating positive statements about oneself can help you develop a more positive self-image and outlook. Additionally, affirmations can help manage stress and anxiety by promoting a sense of calm and focus.
Repeating affirmations will help you believe in them, positively changing your life and overall mindset. The true power of affirmations lies in reciting them to yourself regularly and making them an automatic habit. Some ways to do this include: setting a notification on your phone, typing them into your phone, saying them with your family before bed, writing it down, and sticking it to your mirror or somewhere you look often.
Affirmations are a great strategy to promote self-regulation and mindfulness. They can be used as a coping strategy to manage life’s hardships. It is important to use positive affirmations when negative behavior or emotions begin. This allows you to stop and replace the negative thought with a positive one.
Creating affirmations aligned with your goals, personal values, and beliefs is crucial in making this tool work appropriately. Here are some examples that will give you some inspiration!
I am resilient.
I am happy.
I am strong.
I am brave.
I am capable.
I am successful.
I can do hard things.
Mistakes are proof I am trying.
Tip: Hang them around your house, work, car, and all around to uplift yourself and promote positive self-talk.
Tips for beginning affirmations:
Think of something you want to improve or change in your life.
