Positive Affirmation
• Affirmations are positive statements that can help you to challenge and overcome self-
sabotaging and negative thoughts. When you repeat them often, and believe in them, you
can start to make positive changes.

• You might consider affirmations to be unrealistic "wishful thinking." But try looking at positive
affirmations this way: many of us do repetitive exercises to improve our physical health, and
affirmations are like exercises for our mind and outlook. These positive mental repetitions can
reprogram our thinking patterns so that, over time, we begin to think – and act – differently.

• For example, evidence suggests that affirmations can help you to perform better at work.
According to researchers, spending just a few minutes thinking about your best qualities
before a high-pressure meeting – a performance review, for example – can calm your nerves,
increase your confidence, and improve your chances of a successful outcome.
Positive Affirmation
• Self-affirmation may also help to mitigate the effects of stress. In one study, a short
affirmation exercise boosted the problem-solving abilities of "chronically stressed" subjects
to the same level as those with low stress.

• What's more, affirmations have been used to successfully treat people with low self-
esteem, depression, and other mental health conditions. And they have been shown to
stimulate the areas in our brains that make us more likely to effect positive changes in
regard to our health.

• This latter study suggests that a stronger sense of self-worth makes you more likely to
improve your own well-being. So, for example, if you're worried that you eat too much and
don't get enough exercise , using affirmations to remind yourself of your values can spur
you on to change your behavior.
Positive words to use in your affirmations

• Choose a negative thought and write its positive opposite.

• Make your affirmations only a few words long.
• Start your affirmations with “I” or “My.”
• Write your affirmations in the present tense.
• Write as though you're grateful for already having and being what you
want.
