Affirm Yourself
June 23rd, 2020
Definition of Affirm:
1. state as a fact; assert strongly and publicly.
2. offer (someone) emotional support or encouragement.
We all experience negative thoughts that replay on loop, throughout our lives. They are usually related to not being good enough, being behind in life, or that others are somehow better than you. I want you to know, that just because a thought happens, does not make it true. The mind is just a helpful tool that we can pick up when needed and put down when no longer needed. The goal is to drive your life from intention, not from the running monologue of the mind.
The more frequent the automatic negative thought, the less likely it is true; it is your brain's programming trying it's best to protect you from something it doesn't understand. Instead of only negative thought patterns running through your mind — why not add some positive ones as well? Affirmations are short, simple sentences that encourage you to think in new ways and find new possibilities.
The goal of affirmations is to shift your focus to motivational thoughts and beliefs. Changing your beliefs or rewriting your inner monologue can impact your life in the way good habits can. It can help you to achieve your goals, if you are willing to put in the work.
