Using Affirmations for a Positive Mindset

This post was updated on 27/02/23

Affirmations are great for feeling better about yourself and can be used to help you reach your goals. They are also extremely valuable in counteracting the negative, self-limiting beliefs and thoughts that you are currently holding on to about yourself, your life, and your capabilities, or things going on in the word around you.

The Way You Talk to Yourself Creates Your Reality

This is one that a number of people struggle with-me included. It takes practice-all to do with those neurons in your brain! However positive self-talk can make or break your self-love and confidence on any given day or situation.

Why Affirmations Are So Important

Okay maybe you are running late, you forgot about an appointment or work is boring. You might get feelings that you’ve let yourself down or find yourself using “should.” I should have got up earlier. I should be better at managing my time. This is a dangerous thought pattern and really unhelpful for how we feel about ourselves. I describe myself as a recovering perfectionist, so I know. I have slowly over time, learnt to be kind to in the messages I give myself. In summary this means to acknowledge the negative thought; -it’s inevitable you’ll get them. However, don’t dwell. More importantly, work on how you can turn it around to a positive and that can be where affirmations come in.

Needing a boost in your life is perfectly natural and normal, as we all have things that get in the way of us feeling good about ourselves. Affirmations help you deal with negative feelings about yourself, increase self-reliance, and help you take action with your life and build self-confidence and self-esteem.

Affirmations are one the most powerful and effective methods for influencing your subconscious mind. When you repeat an affirmation, it begins to seep into your brain that those affirmations might be true, so it helps to gradually chase away your negativity. You only need to do a Google search to know there are lots of variations. But how do you know what’s right for you?

As affirmations are all about sending the right messages to your subconscious, the affirmations you use will be all dependant on what you want to achieve.  So it could be calming your mind, feeling loved, getting ready for the day or relaxing before bed
