“What You Think, You Become.”
— Buddha
What Are Affirmations?
Did you know we have about 60,000 thoughts each day, and most of them are the same ones we had yesterday? It's no wonder that repeating the same thoughts daily which leads to feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, stress, and worry.
Our minds often operate on autopilot, with negative thoughts playing like a tape recorder, constantly warning us of potential pitfalls. This happens because our brain wants to protect us from disappointment, keeping us in a comfort zone. But do we really want to live in that negative loop forever?
Affirmations are positive statements we tell ourselves—replacing negative self-talk with uplifting, empowering thoughts. These simple yet powerful phrases can shift our mindset and transform the way we feel and act.
When Can You Use Affirmations?
Affirmations can be used at any time—whether it's when you wake up, before you go to sleep, or whenever you need them throughout the day. There’s no right or wrong time to use them. Repeat them when you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or need a mental reset. While affirmations are most effective when practiced daily, the key is to incorporate them into your routine consistently.
I know it's a bit weird when you start out, but eventually it comes to you easily. It's because stress is natural to our brains while peace is something so foreign.
