08.01.2022 So what is an affirmation? They are positive phrases or statements used to challenge negative or unhelpful thoughts. Practising positive affirmations can be extremely simple, and all you need to do is pick a phrase and repeat it to yourself. One easy way to get in the daily habit of using affirmations is to come up with five aspirational sentences about yourself beginning with the words, "I am." For example, "I am living my best life," "I am loved," or "I am healthy." Then, repeat those statements aloud first thing in the morning and again before you go to sleep at night. This will boost your self-esteem and program your subconscious to think more positive thoughts.
