The concept that we are what we think has never been more recognized than in this day and age. The power of positive affirmations to increase positive thinking and create a positive mindset has had a life changing impact on people around the world.
What are Positive Affirmations?
Positive affirmations are positive words that we speak to ourselves over and over. They are sentences that are in the present tense, they only include positive words and are spoken as fact. They should be short, simple sentences that are easy to remember.
Affirmations that use language such as “might” or “could” are not as effective as wording such as “am” or “do”.
When we repeat positive affirmations to ourselves, multiple times per day, we are speaking to ourselves kindly and replacing negative thoughts.
Choose 2-3 relevant affirmations from below, or use them as a guide to create your own. Write them down and surround yourself with them. Put them on the bathroom mirror, in your diary or even as a daily reminder set on your phone.
The Good and the Bad
When you create the habit of daily positive affirmations, remember this. What we repeat over and over to ourselves, we believe.
This is not only relevant for positive thoughts such as “I am happy and at peace,” but also applies to negative thoughts such as “I am not good enough.” Try to recognize your negative thought patterns and replace those thoughts with positive affirmations.
