25 Daily Affirmations That Will Help Change Your Life!

What are Daily Affirmations and How Can They Can 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 come to believe that and behave in that mindset when interacting with others. This thought 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.

How Do I Use Daily Affirmations?

     Affirmations are most effective in changing your thought process when used daily and multiple times a day. Using a mirror and repeating it allowed may sound silly  but it is highly effective.  I suggest repeating your affirmation in the morning in front of the mirror just after waking up and again at night in front of the mirror before going to bed.  You can add this to your daily routine of getting dressed or washing  your face so it becomes second nature.  Putting your affirmations on Post-its on the mirror could help you set the intention.  If you have an opportunity to repeat your affirmation privately while in the bathroom mid-day at work or in your office, take advantage.  If not, don't be afraid to take a few quiet minutes to yourself and repeat it internally.

Repetition is key to rewiring the brain and changing the thought pattern. Try some of these affirmations to help get you started.
