March here in Michigan looks a little different every year. The weather teases us with sunshine some days then a cold winter day always follows. It’s a big confusing.
I digress.
March is passing by and I’m alright with that. I am excited for summertime in Michigan. I’m excited for the sun, lake days, and swimming. I really love swimming, it’s my favorite.
As much I’m okay with March going quickly, I am reminding myself with my affirmations to pause and access where I’m at. Stopping to be present is so important to me. It allows me to make sure I’m where I want to be and to stop and ask myself how I’m feeling.
When you stop in pause in the midst of your busy life, what are you feeling?
WHAT’S AN AFFIRMATION?
A positive statement is 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.
