THE POWER OF POSITIVE WORDS BLOG SERIES - BLOG 6:
If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at a phrase like “I am radiant and thriving,” you’re not alone. Positive affirmations can feel a little… fluffy. But here’s the thing—they work. Not because they’re magic, but because you are.
Affirmation cards help interrupt the cycle of automatic negative thoughts we all experience. They’re pattern-breakers. Even if you don’t 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:
“Maybe I am capable.”
“Maybe I am growing.”
“Maybe I can do hard things.”
It’s not about pretending everything’s fine. It’s about choosing to believe something kinder, just for a moment.
And here’s what we’ve found again and again: the more often you repeat something, the more likely your brain is to believe it. That’s science.
So don’t worry if your first reaction is “I don’t know if this is me.” Keep reading. Keep repeating. Let the words find a place in you.
One day, they won’t feel like someone else’s words.
They’ll feel like your own.
