Re-train Your Brain—the Power of Positive Thinking.

Affirmations are phrases or statements we say to ourselves to train our minds to be and think more positively.

When you make the statement "I am" no one can take that away from you, no one can borrow that from you, and no one can disagree with you because you are the sole creator of your own thoughts, mind and reality.

Have you seen the movie I Feel Pretty, starring Amy Schumer? If not, spoiler alert ahead. She bumps her head and "believes" she is more beautiful than before based on a wish. She is just as beautiful and the same as before, but due to the noggin' bump, she *feels pretty.*

This is the power of positive thinking! She goes directly after her dream job and lands it. Has the confidence of a ten supermodel. She gets the guy she is after, enters a bikini contest, and loses, but nails it all the same—an epic love-yourself movie.

When repeating affirmations, they should really be personal, but you can find them everywhere on the internet. The goal here is a mind hack to repeat the phrase or statement repeatedly so you can recall it later and start to believe it.

As you repeat these, you will shift your mindset to believe what you are affirming.

As stated earlier, you genuinely want to make affirmations as personal as possible to get the most out of the exercise. I have attached a Facebook Reel here to help you get started on some ideas.

Try to make them on one current issue you're having at a time—body issues, self-compassion, self-worth, and confidence, as examples.

Always use present tense when writing/speaking to yourself, such as "I am living my best life." Be honest with yourself when doing this exercise, and you will begin to see the real you start to shine brighter, and even others will take notice.

What are you waiting for?

Nothing better than starting a new year full of new beginnings with the highest version of yourself. You got this!
