Happy September! I hope you are all doing well and had a nice August. I’ve been trying to remind myself to be present in the moment and as I write these affirmations this month, I focus on using this time to be still. Meditation is something I go in and out of and this month I am trying to meditate every day. Last month, I pushed myself to do less talking and more action. I’ve had so many ideas but haven’t been putting them into action as I would like. One being, finally getting on Tik Tok! (Follow me @thesierraguide). Another thing I’ve been working on is bringing more products to my shop. If you don’t already know I sell mugs and tumblers but soon it will expand to more items! Until then shop my current mugs here! I hope you enjoy your September and enjoy my affirmations. Let me know what you want to see next month!
Best, Summer Sierra
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.
