Positive affirmations are incredibly powerful! We can use them to encourage ourselves and build ourselves up.
When you catch your reflection in the mirror, is the first thing you think is something negative? Or when you make a small mistake, do you mentally chastise yourself for it?
By creating time for daily positive affirmations, you can take a step towards building self-confidence and knowing your worth.
Why are Affirmations so Powerful?
What we believe shapes our actions and our actions shape our reality. It’s incredibly important to watch your thoughts and guide them to where you want them to be.
Saying positive affirmations about what we believe is a great first step in encouraging yourself to make the choices you want to make!
“Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.”
― Roy T. Bennett
Affirmations That Feel Right to You
In order for affirmations to be really effective, they need to make sense to your mind.
So, if an affirmation like “I am patient” doesn’t feel true to you, try saying “I am becoming patient”.
Try it with the affirmations below – when you say them if something feels off add words like “becoming” or “learning to be”.
