INSIDE: The power of self care affirmations isn’t just about positive thinking. In fact, affirmations are what most successful people do in order to achieve goals and maintain focus. 

Finding solutions to struggles can be difficult and overwhelming. Negative and intrusive thoughts often overrun us with fear and worry, which makes it seem impossible to feel any better.

Using affirmations for self care is not only an easy way to keep you positive; it’ll also help you get a little closer to your dreams.   

How to Use Affirmations for Self Care

There are heaps of ways to incorporate self care affirmations into your life. It’s all about giving yourself a few minutes here and there to really focus on yourself.

Here are several ways you can use affirmations…

Affirmation Meditation

Start each day with some self care affirmations. Simply sit for 5-10 minutes and start the affirmation with the words “I am…”

Do you have any goals or things to do that day? Tell yourself how you’re going to do it and make it affirmative — i.e. “I am going to eat 3 healthy meals today!”

Writing is an easy and efficient way to not only process your day, but also clear your mind from worry. It’s like a free therapy session where you ‘brain-dump’ whatever is on your mind.

Journaling is also a great way to use self care affirmations. If you struggle with sitting still in meditation, jotting down your affirmations is a type of meditation as well.
