What are Affirmations?

Affirmations in new thought and new age terminology refer primarily to the practice of positive thinking and self-empowerment – fostering a belief that “a positive mental attitude supported by affirmations will achieve success in anything.

How Do You Practice Affirmations?

Not only are there several ways to practice affirmations, but there are several tips you can implement whilst practicing them. Below are some of our favorites:

• Start with 3 to 5 minutes at least twice a day. Try saying affirmations upon waking up and getting into bed, for example.
• Repeat each affirmation about 10 times.
• Ask a trusted loved one to help.
• Make your routine consistent.
• Be patient.

Also, it is important to focus on how you’re going to feel once you have achieved your goal—NOT how you feel right now in order to truly manifest this reality for yourself.
