An affirmation is a short, positive sentence about yourself or your goals. For example, you might say, “I am confident and capable,” or, “I can handle anything that comes my way.” These statements work by changing your thoughts. Over time, they can replace negative thinking with positive beliefs. Last week we posted an article with 10 phrases that you can use to get started.
Why are affirmations so powerful? Your brain believes what you tell it. If you focus on uplifting, positive messages, you can train your mind to see the good in yourself and your situation. This shift can improve your self-esteem and motivate you to achieve your goals.

To make affirmations work for you, follow these tips:
- Be specific. Instead of saying, “I am happy,” try, “I bring joy and kindness to every situation.”
- Repeat daily. Say your affirmations every morning or write them down in a journal.
- Believe in them. Imagine the words as true and picture yourself living them out. Try to feel the emotions that words represent.
