Affirmations, or instead positive affirmations, are encouraging words or sentences you can repeat to yourselves. The theory of self-affirmation dictates that words have power, and how we talk to ourselves forms the blueprint of our attitude, mindset and behaviour. So, if you want to bring about change in any area of your life, using positive affirmations can help you achieve that. Different areas of your life require different affirmations. For example, there are various exercises when you want to train a particular part of your body. Want better relationships? Try relationship affirmations. Want to find love in your life? Try love affirmations. Want to work on your marriage? Try marriage affirmations. Want to practice mindfulness every day? Try daily affirmations. There is an affirmation for everything you want to transform and improve. Using affirmations requires a deeper understanding of the subject. So, let’s get started.
