ok, so what are affirmations?

first things first, what the heck are we even talking about!?

affirmations are positive statements & beliefs. they help boost confidence & motivation. they're often repeated daily, reinforcing positive thinking.

amazingly, with patience, time, & practice, they can rewire the brain, replacing negative thoughts & fostering a more optimistic mindset. affirmations empower & inspire individuals to achieve their goals & overcome challenges.

just how are they so powerful?

affirmations are powerful as they engage & light up the mind while promoting positive thinking. i mean, we could all use a bit of that, amiright?

when we repeat them regularly (daily is best), they create new neural pathways & rewire the brain, reinforcing beneficial thought patterns. this means we are actively practicing neuroplasticity!! imagine having the ability & powers to literally heal your brain and make new, improved pathways connecting your entire consciousness?! 

thats why this stuff is SO AMAZING!!

affirmations inspire action & boost self-confidence, propelling individuals towards success. moreover, they counteract negative self-talk & cultivate a more optimistic outlook, which can lead to improved mental well-being & overall life satisfaction.

ok, so how do we use them?

some of the best ways to use affirmations include making them a part of your daily routines & practices. do it while you brush your teeth, when your folding laundry (ANYTHING to make that job better has my vote!), while you’re talking your dog for a walk.

you get the picture. link them with a daily practice & odds are you’ll remember to do it.

start your day by reciting affirmations to set a positive tone. integrate them into meditation sessions, allowing for deep focus & reflection. write them down in a journal, reinforcing their impact & making them tangible.

speak them out loud with confidence & conviction, strengthening their effectiveness. additionally, use affirmations in times of stress or self-doubt to recenter & regain focus. remember, consistency & belief in the power of affirmations are key to maximising their benefits.

are they any good for our mental health?

SO, SO GOOD!! affirmations are beneficial for our mental health. they play a crucial role in fostering positive thinking & self-esteem. when regularly practiced, they can help reduce stress & anxiety, promoting a more balanced emotional state.

affirmations contribute to a healthier mindset by challenging negative beliefs & replacing them with constructive thoughts. the use of affirmations encourages mindfulness & self-awareness, enhancing overall mental well-being.

using affirmations in daily life can lead to greater resilience, boosted self-confidence, & a more happier, far more optimistic outlook on life. happy days ahead!

here’s some of the best ways to incorporate affirmations in one’s daily life:

1. morning rituals: start each day by repeating affirmations while doin your skin care routine or during your morning jog.

2. meditation sessions: use affirmations as focal points during meditation, allowing them to ground and inspire you. use them with your breathing to boost their effectiveness!

3. affirmation journaling: write down affirmations in a journal, reflecting on their meaning and impact on your life. this is one of my most favourite ways - i’m a journal nutter!! 

4. verbal declarations: speak affirmations out loud with conviction and belief in their positive influence. say it & make it happen bish!

5. sticky notes & reminders: place affirmations on sticky notes around your home or workspace for constant reinforcement. yellow squares for days…..

6. mindful walks: this is a super relaxing way to get it done. use affirmations into your daily walks, repeating them as you take in the sights & sounds around you. 

7. transition moments: use affirmations during transitional moments like waiting in line or commuting, transforming idle time into empowering thoughts. waiting in line is a bore, so why not practice some neuriplasticity to pass the time?

8. self-care practices: integrate affirmations into self-care routines, such as while taking a relaxing bath or practicing deep breathing.

9. before bedtime: end the day with affirmations, reinforcing positive thoughts before sleep.

10. affirmation partners: share affirmations with friends or family, creating a supportive network of encouragement.

ok so now we know that affirmations are something we should be doing & i just hope one day this stuff is taught in schools so kids have the earliest chance to have these skills.

so they don’t have to wait till their mid 20s to find out about it! (like i did!)

now i hand the affirmation torch over to you my lil grasshopper. but cos i know getting started can be overwhelming af, i’ve done some of the hard work for you. i know, i know, that’s just the sort of friend i am.
