What is an Affirmation? And why is it so important?
Positive statements! That is what an Affirmation is. It’s a saying, a simple statement of positivity that helps you to engage into thinking good thoughts rather than falling victim to negative ones.
Seeing something written out, saying it daily like a ritual; while you dress, after a shower, before bed. This helps your brain form more positive patterns, and will help you overall. A person wants to be positive in order to accomplish goals, some goals are to be healthier, some are to feel better and some to feel connected with the powers at be.
A couple of these affirmations for your Spirit will help you feel empowered, connected and true to yourself.
