Live each day with positive affirmations

About This Quote

Live each day with positive affirmations. Affirmations are statements that we make and repeat to ourselves, and often to other people, that we believe will bring us to a certain goal. For example, you might say, “I am a sensitive person” or “I can learn to like vegetables.” Because you want to improve as a person, you want the true self to shine through. This is why it’s not enough to simply believe you’re a good person; you should also think about the things you do that make that true self shine through.

You might say, “I am not good at math” or “I am not very good at sports.” When you say this aloud, it will bring up feelings of shame in your body. But when you voice the negative affirmation internally (i.e., when you repeat it), it will bring up feelings of shame in your body. This is because negative affirmations tell yourself that you are bad at something when in fact you are naturally bad at it, but your brain naturally wants to make the situation better.

So when you voice the negative affirmation internally, it tells your brain that it’s good at something when in fact it needs help with that skill or talent. It then causes your brain to light up with positive feelings of pride for this skill or talent instead of negative feelings of shame for being bad at it.
