25 Daily Affirmations That Will Help Change Your Life!

Daily Affirmations are short sentences and phrases that when used regularly and consistently have the ability to change a person's inner mental dialogue.  Every day without even realizing it, we tell ourselves things that actually affect the way in which we think about ourselves, how we perceive the world, and how we react in situations with the rest of the world. For instance, if you find yourself repeating in your head I'm such a loser when things don't quite go the way you intended you will be come to believe that and behave in that mindset when interacting with others. This though process can actually become a self-fulfilling prophecy.  Creating a world in which you are perceived as a loser, not just to yourself. This behavior can be so ingrained in our psyche that we don't even realize we are doing it. We can be the masters of our own universe  if we learn to harness this mental power and create the change we want to see in our lives by changing the way we see ourselves in our mind.

I have a confession...I'm not okay.

Everyday I'm asked the same question. "How are you?" And everyday I respond a simple "I'm fine" or "I'm okay." But the truth of the matter is I'm not. If I'm honest with myself and my loved ones, I would have to admit that I'm not okay. I'm not okay because I suffer from depression. If I was truly honest, I would admit that I have struggled with depression off and on for years. And this is the third time in my life where I have sought professional help for it.
