An affirmation is a short, simple statement. Using affirmations daily has been proven to increase positive thinking rather than negative. In other words, you take control of your way of thinking.
Here are a few examples:
1. I breathe in relaxation; I breathe out tension.
2. I am capable of solving any problems that face me.
3. I am ridding my mind of negative thoughts and filling it with positive ones.
4. I am more and more calm with each deep breath I take.
5. I am attracting positive energy into my body.
6. I have the ability to overcome anxiety.
7. My mind is clearing, and I am in control.
8. I am freeing myself from stress.
9. I am relaxing each part of my body.
10. I am more and more calm with each deep breath I take.
Take one or two of these affirmations or make up some of your own and say them to yourself regularly through the day. Pin them up somewhere that you can see them throughout your day.
Being positive and using affirmative statements can change your life dramatically in a great way. Like most things, it will get easier each time you do it.
