Affirmations
Harness the power of positivity
Are you overly self-critical? Do you ever tell yourself you’re not good enough or that you’re not capable? Is your inner monologue a stream of negative self-talk?
If this sounds like you, affirmations could help.
Affirmations are positive encouraging statements that are a proven way of reducing self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviour.
They work by influencing your subconscious mind – the birthplace of all of your habits and beliefs. Your subconscious mind automatically acts on your suggestions, so positive self-talk via affirmations will result in positive thoughts and behaviour.
And, as much as it may seem too good to be true, this isn’t magic – it’s backed by science.
Studies have shown that self-affirmations activate reward centres in the brain (the same ones that respond to eating your favourite food) and increase activity in self-related processing, which provides emotional protection from negative information.
This is how positive affirmations are able to increase optimism and self-esteem, and increase feelings of hopefulness for those suffering from physical illness.
