Positive Affirmations

What are positive affirmations? They are statements or words that you can repeat to yourself to help you overcome self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviours. When you start to repeat these positive phrases daily, you will start to believe them and positive changes can come into your life.

I started to implement affirmations into my meditation routine and found it a great way to start your day in the best mental state. It has also become useful as a tool to break down the negative thoughts that can come across your mind throughout the day. For example, if I was to think 'Oh my legs look fat today' I am able to recognise this bad thought and change it to a good one like 'My legs are strong and I love them because I am able to walk, run and climb.'

Another tool I use is YouTube videos. You can find a video to suit any mood, Affirmations for success, for self-love, for confidence etc. Playing this out loud as soon as you wake up and getting ready for the day or before you fall asleep. It's a great way to subconsciously let these thoughts go into your mind.
You can also try writing down affirmations while you are journaling or writing down what you are grateful for. Write out 6 affirmation and really feel and believe them while writing them to get the full benefit.

Here is a list of affirmations I love, that you could use to get yourself started. Use these phrases in your daily routine and start thinking of your own!
