Affirmation is the act of deliberately choosing positive thoughts and statements about yourself and your life. It helps you have a more positive outlook and feel better about yourself. Affirmations can help you stop negative thoughts, reduce anxiety, and feel more confident. When you repeat affirmations regularly, you can train your mind to believe these positive statements and feel better overall.

DOES AFFIRMATIONS REALLY WORK?
Affirmations can be effective for some people in improving their mindset and changing their thought patterns. However, the effectiveness of affirmations may vary depending on the individual and their specific situation.
​
Affirmations work by influencing the subconscious mind to adopt new and positive beliefs. By consistently repeating positive affirmations, an individual can reprogram their subconscious mind and create a more positive mindset. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4814782/)
​
It is important to note that affirmations alone may not be enough to overcome certain mental health conditions or traumatic experiences. In these cases, seeking professional help from a therapist or counselor may be necessary.
How to Use Affirmations for Best Results
​
Find a quiet place: Choose a quiet and peaceful space where you can focus on your affirmations without distractions.
​
Relax: Take a few deep breaths to calm your mind and body.
​
Read your affirmations: Read your affirmations out loud or silently to yourself, whichever feels more comfortable. As you read each affirmation, try to visualize it and feel the positive emotions associated with it.
​
Repeat several times: Repeat each affirmation several times, either in one sitting or throughout the day. The more you repeat them, the more effective they will be.
​
Use positive language: Make sure to use positive language and avoid negative statements. Phrase your affirmations in the present tense and in the first person.
​
Believe in them: As you read your affirmations, try to believe in them and feel the truth of the statements. This will help them to sink in and have a greater impact.
​
Take action: Affirmations alone are not enough to create change. It is important to take action towards your goals and live in alignment with your affirmations.
