Positive Affirmations
You have probably heard of them but what are Positive Affirmations?
- They are short, powerful statements set in the first person and in the present tense.
- By working on a deep level of the mind, they help us change our subconscious negative thoughts. The brain then starts to rewire these new beliefs, shifting us to think more positively.
- Whilst they can be used as a starting point, the most effective and lasting results are achieved when they are combined with inner work; by addressing the underlying beliefs and emotions.
- They can be repeated daily, silently or out loud. They can be said when needed in the moment, or as often throughout the
day as you wish.
- Choose the affirmations that resonate with you. Write them in your journal, as a note in your phone, or record a few of them as a voice note to listen to when you wake up, and/or before you go to sleep.
