Using affirmations can reduce stress and anxiety, improve your mood, encourage positive changes in your life, and increase your self-esteem.
Affirmations are positive statements that can be used to challenge negative thoughts.
Some examples of affirmations to increase motivation include:
-
I invest my time and energy towards meaningful things
-
I am committed to focusing on my goal because I am worth it
-
I am deserving of all things I want to accomplish in life
-
I rise up to any challenge that comes my way
-
I will work towards my goals today without hesitation
-
I choose to let go of overthinking and just do it
Affirmations work to shift your mindset towards more positive and flexible thinking patterns.
Pick an affirmation and repeat it to yourself at least 10 times daily (5 times when you wake up in the morning and 5 times before you go to bed at night)
Repetition is key when using affirmations, in order for your brain to process and accept the positive affirmation as a fact.
