Positive affirmations have the power to rewire your brain to offer you more self-love and compassion.
We often don’t realize how negative our self-talk can be. But once you start to pay attention, you’ll likely realize your brain beats up on you more than you know! (For a more detailed look at negative versus positive self-talk and how to effectively improve your self-talk, check out this article.)
What Are Positive Affirmations?
Positive affirmations are distinctly positive and encouraging statements that are designed to replace negative, unhelpful, and discouraging beliefs about oneself.
When you tune in to what your brain rattles on about all day, you may be surprised to hear how mean it can be to you, about you. Positive affirmations are designed to give you ready-to-use replacements for those unhelpful thoughts.
Do Positive Affirmations Work?
Positive affirmations can be an incredibly helpful tool to build confidence and create a happier, healthier life.
Our minds are more powerful than we give them credit for and what we think about all day is important. If you can rewire your brain to be more loving towards yourself, you will start to see positive manifestations reflected back to you in the external world.

How to Use Positive Affirmations
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to using positive affirmations. You can use positive affirmations throughout your day in whatever way feels most natural and beneficial to you.
Some people may choose one or a few affirmations that resonate with them deeply and use it as a mantra. A mantra is a phrase that you repeat to yourself and reflect on often. This approach allows the affirmation to sink in more and more deeply over time. You may even choose to write your mantra down and put it somewhere you’ll be reminded of it frequently.
Another approach is to notice when you have an unhelpful or negative thought creep up, and choose a positive affirmation in that moment to replace the thought with. Over time, this begins to train your brain to look for a more positive way to see things rather than jumping to a hurtful conclusion.
