Affirmation is a brief, encouraging statement (e.g., I am strong. I am a good person. I descrve good things to happen to me.) that you can use to help build and maintain a more positive frame of mind. The old saying, “You are as good as you think you are” may be true; and, negative thoughts may lead to a more negative outlook on life which can then lead to more negative thoughts. Repeating short, positive statements can help break this cycle.
You can repeat an affirmation as often as you like like — while combing your hair, driving to work, or just before you fall asleep. The more often you use an affirmation, the more it can help reinforce your value and self-worth and the more it can affect your behavior. Affirmation is a powerful tool for self-growth and positivity. Repeating affirmations, boosts self-confidence, motivation, and resilience, enabling us to overcome challenges and achieve our goals.
You can find affirmations for living and working on the blog. Put those you need on index or flash cards to refer to whenever you need to practice them or for a boost of encouragement.
