Positive Affirmations
Use positive statements to challenge negative or unhelpful thoughts. Repeat them daily to build self-confidence and a positive mindset.
What is an Affirmation?
Affirmations are simple, positive statements declaring specific goals in their completed states. These empowering mantras have profound effects on the conscious and unconscious mind.
By regularly practicing affirmations, you can reprogram your thought patterns, build self-esteem, and create a more positive reality.
Affirmation Guidelines
Be Positive
Never use negative words like "not", "never", or "don't". Instead of "I am not afraid," try "I am confident."
Be Concise
The shorter and more specific, the better.
Make it Powerful
Use words that inspire and empower you, like "confidently," "successfully," or "gracefully."
Speak in the Present
This helps your subconscious mind act now. Use "I am..." instead of "I will be...".
Make it Personal
Focus on your own behavior and mindset. The only person you can change is yourself.
Putting It Into Practice
Consistency is key to making affirmations effective. Keep them visible by writing them on sticky notes for your desk, creating a digital reminder on your phone, or making them the first entry in your daily journal. To build a lasting habit, try repeating your affirmations at scheduled times.
Try repeating your affirmations:
As you start your day, perhaps with your morning coffee.
During a short break from work or before an important meeting.
On your commute to or from the office.
As you wind down for the evening before going to sleep.
"I am healthy and strong."
