November smells like chicken noodle soup, crisp fall leaves, and the smell of smoke burning from birthday candles. Well… at least for me. I love November, mainly because it’s my birthday month, but I also love the transition into winter here in Michigan. It gets me in a cozy mood.

Personally, I’ve been doing well seeing a lot of friends lately and making the most of my birthday month. I also received a job offer at an amazing PR company as their Marketing Account Manager. I am thrilled to be switching jobs and not settling in my career. With that being said, there are fewer affirmations this month but I’ve still been active on Instagram on my stories daily so if you’re not following, be sure to here.

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.
