An affirmation can be a statement of what you want to see in your life or to define who you want to be. Affirmations can support challenging negative beliefs through priming the brain with positive thoughts, using consistency to create change from within (adapted from the Five Minute Journal).
Below are a few examples of affirmations you can use. Take what you need, leave what you don't, or create something new. Affirmations are unique, though they share the purpose of working for each us.
"It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen." - Muhammad Ali
