Holding space for gratitude is so important for your mental health and overall well-being. I think gratitude is a great way to stay positive and remind yourself of what’s important in life. Many people do gratitude journals which is an amazing habit to get into but sometimes when you start, you can feel uninspired and or unsure of where to start. This affirmation is for when you are feeling a little uninspired with your gratitude and want to work on being more thankful.
WHAT’S AN AFFIRMATION?
A positive statement used to help you overcome negative thoughts and ideas. The message is usually written in the first person and can be long or short sentences. The purpose of affirmations is to develop a habit of positive thinking and self-empowerment.
WHY ARE AFFIRMATIONS IMPORTANT?
Affirmations can help you change your mindset on a difficult idea or situation. They can increase self-esteem, gratitude, and help you overcome loss for example. With all the distractions of the world, affirmations help you remind yourself daily of what is your priority in your personal healing journey.
HOW CAN I USE AFFIRMATIONS?
Affirmations can be used in various ways but the important part is to continuously do them. It’s like working out! One workout will make you feel good but it won’t change your body. You can practice affirmations by reading them out loud, writing them down, or simply having them saved as your lock screen. Interacting with affirmations daily on the topic you choose will improve your life for the better. My recommendation is to get creative with where you feel you will best use them. An example would be to write an affirmation down on a sticky note and hang it on your mirror. Say it every day for a week and then create a new one the following week. It’s all about you.
