What are affirmations?

 Affirmations are positive statements or positive self-talk that are read and repeated daily until they are imprinted in your mind and your self-esteem is improved . Affirmations should not be general positive mantras unrelated to the specific person but rather specific positive statements that acknowledge one’s strengths and traits. These are compliments that you have not given yourself credit for in the past. The best and most effective affirmations are not generic positive mantras but rather specific statements that recognize your unique good qualities, achievements, and accomplishments.

The benefits of affirmations

Timely affirmations have been shown to  improve education, health, and relationship  outcomes, with benefits that sometimes persist for months and years. Self-affirmations can also  decrease stress, increase well-being, improve academic performance and make people more open to behavior change  (source: Cohen and Sherman). Self-affirmations affirm a person’s self-worth, often by having individuals reflect on core values, which may give them a broader view of the self (source). Positive affirmations can motivate you and boost your self-esteem.
