ποΈ What is an affirmation?
π₯° An affirmation is a positive statement you say to yourself about yourself or your life
π€I have been using affirmations every single day for 10 years. I've journaled them, listened to "I am affirmations for women" on YouTube while driving (thereβs menβs ones too) and incorporated them into my daily routine. Statements like
π«"I am an amazing mumβ
π«βI am a loyal friendβ
π«βI can overcome any obstacles I may faceβ
π«βI am healthy" they all help promote my self-confidence, self-esteem, and feelings of self-worth.
πΈπ½What we believe, we become, and what we become, we attract
π£οΈRepeating positive affirmations can also reduce negative thinking and self-sabotage.
π«¦If someone were to say to me today, "you're a terrible mumβ it would, of course, upset me for a second or two. However, because I've repeatedly told myself that I am a good mum and followed through with my actions, the outside statement would not seem real. The passing comment would not effect me β
π©βπ¦βπ¦I know Iβm a good mum of course I do ππΌ ππ½ββοΈAffirming who you are is powerful; your thoughts are powerful.
π€Be kind to yourself and be proud of who you are. Keep telling yourself every single day β¨β¨
