Do Affirmations ACTUALLY Work?

I think we have all been there. We are assigned a task at work and we think to ourselves, “I am terrible at this.” or “What was my boss thinking?”

I have the solution for you!

Affirmations….

Affirmations are internal dialogue and can be used to break any habitual thinking patterns that have created a negative impact on you. We are affirming throughout every single day whether we are doing it consciously or subconsciously.

You know what’s even more sad? Neuroscience studies tell us that 90% of our thoughts every day are RECURRENT thoughts.

If you are assigned an arduous task or to attend a high pressure meeting, spending at least 3-5 minutes a day can increase your confidence level and improve the outcome.

They also help stimulate the creative part of our brain.

But you can’t stop there. In order to turn your affirmation into reality, you have to put in the work to align with your affirmation. For example, a few years ago I used to affirm that "I am bold,” but I wasn’t doing ANYTHING to step outside of my comfort zone.

It's the equivalent to saying everyday that you're healthy and then you choose unhealthy options for breakfast and never exercise.

ALIGN and take MASSIVE, BOLD action to become the person that you say you are.

Do you have an affirmation that helps you get through day to day?

Try adopting one to prep your mind for your next high pressure situation. You’ve got this!
