Affirmations are much more powerful than I could have imagined. Sometimes it’s all we need to reprogram something in the unconscious mind. When you reprogram a negative belief about life or yourself via affirmations, the opposite of what is still inside of you will come to the surface.

A belief is often connected to a feeling, and by reprogramming ourselves in a calm state, you can, over time, become aware of stressful energies that want to leave your body. That’s a great thing, but try to keep it manageable and limit the number of affirmations (8–10) or choose a step in between. If “I love myself” is too big a step and causes you to feel resistance, then you can say “I love myself each day a little more.

Here are some of mine. Pick a few lines and use them for a few days:

PS: Only select affirmations that don’t cause too much resistance at first. Maybe start with a step in between first.
