Positive Affirmations and How They Change Our Mindset
What are positive affirmations?
Positive affirmations are a repetition of short positive thoughts and mindful thinking that can help one’s self get through the day, overcoming negative thoughts and doubt, and improving self confidence.
They can be simple phrases:
“I am going to have a good day today”
“I am doing better today”
“I am a good and well rounded person”
“I am loved and cared for”
Positive affirmations emphasize on things that help our self worth and help reduce stress. They are truths we believe in and focus on to help us get through the day.
What are ways they rewire our thinking?
Positive affirmations can rewire our thinking. We can help retrain our brain with positive and realistic thoughts through these positive thoughts and phrases rather than negative ones.
Helpful ways it affects our lives:
- Helps build confidence and encourages
- Reduces stress
- Replaces criticism towards one’s self
Negativity
Negative thoughts put ourselves down, they retain negativity and can lead to more doubt, stress, and fear. Negative thoughts may come from a place of fear that positive thoughts will be wrong but they aren’t helpful, we may hold onto these thoughts that lead to worse results to our health and lives.
How can I include positive affirmations in my life?
Positive affirmations have to mean something to us. If we simply just repeat positive comments and thoughts to ourselves, we will get used to the phrases without actually being mindful.
To start doing positive affirmations, we must think of places in our lives that we need them. It could be focusing on confidence in certain settings or situations you may find doubt in. It could be through trying new things and boosting your confidence and mood through an encouraging thought.
Finding places in daily life is also something to start with. It could be as simple as waking up with positive affirmations or to a mirror. Or when entering work, school, and other places you often go to before starting your day there.
Can Positive Affirmations Lead to Toxic Positivity?
Toxic positivity is when you ignore real problems through blind optimism. Positive affirmations can lead to toxic positivity if it is not done in a healthy and helpful way. Over positivity and over-optimism can be used as a way to block negative situations.
