THE POWER OF POSITIVE WORDS BLOG SERIES - BLOG 6:
If youβve ever rolled your eyes at a phrase like βI am radiant and thriving,β youβre not alone. Positive affirmations can feel a littleβ¦ fluffy. But hereβs the thingβthey work. Not because theyβre magic, but because you are.
Affirmation cards help interrupt the cycle of automatic negative thoughts we all experience. Theyβre pattern-breakers. Even if you donβt believe the phrase right away, the very act of pausing to read it creates a moment of mindfulness.
Your brain starts to soften around the idea:
βMaybe I am capable.β
βMaybe I am growing.β
βMaybe I can do hard things.β
Itβs not about pretending everythingβs fine. Itβs about choosing to believe something kinder, just for a moment.
And hereβs what weβve found again and again: the more often you repeat something, the more likely your brain is to believe it. Thatβs science.
So donβt worry if your first reaction is βI donβt know if this is me.β Keep reading. Keep repeating. Let the words find a place in you.
One day, they wonβt feel like someone elseβs words.
Theyβll feel like your own.
