Do you repeat daily affirmations to yourself throughout your day? I have previously shared how affirmations have made a huge difference in my mental health journey.
How have they helped?
They have encouraged a positive mindset to change. Y’all. I was a hot mess my first week of group therapy. I was adamant that nothing anyone could say or do would help to bring me out of the low place that I was in – especially a bunch of words that meant nothing. An amazing therapist challenged me (she learned my weakness early) to just give the process a try.
Here’s the thing: Affirmations prepare your mind for change and help reduce stress and anxiety around those changes. The brain is such a funny organ. It knows what we need even when we’re not ready to face it. By incorporating the positive words into our daily routine, our brain adjusts to match them.
I quickly learned that affirmations give you the motivation to keep going even if you have an “off” day.
Some ways you can incorporate them into your day-to-day routine are by:
- saying and writing them first thing in the morning and before you go to bed
- saying them out loud throughout your day
- choosing 1-2 of them to focus on daily for several weeks
Research has shown that being deliberate and consistent with your affirmation routine can strengthen neural connections in your brain.
