The Power of Positive Affirmations
Introduction
Positive affirmations are statements that you repeat to yourself in order to change your thoughts and beliefs. They can be simple statements like “I am worthy” or “I am capable,” or they can be more specific statements about what you want to achieve in your life. I remember growing up in hearing my dad playing with a person telling themselves or him that he is I am I will. Yes, I know I said cassette tape if you don’t know what that is, I’ll just smile and know that I’m officially old.
There is a growing body of scientific evidence that suggests that positive affirmations can be an effective way to improve your mood, boost your self-esteem, and increase your motivation. In one study, for example, participants who repeated positive affirmations for just 21 days reported feeling happier and more optimistic than those who did not repeat affirmations.
