Realize this, and you will find strength.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The power of your mind is undeniable. So, how can you start to harness that inner strength and create a more positive, fulfilling life? The answer may be easier than you think: <em>Start practicing affirmations.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/mental-health\/do-affirmations-work#:~:text=Affirmations%20can%20help%20strengthen%20self,doubt%20that%20often%20accompany%20anxiety.\">Affirmations<\/a> are statements you say to yourself to build self-confidence and reinforce your belief in your own abilities. They shift and redirect your focus to the <em>strengths you already have <\/em>and the <em>strengths you want more of.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, how does that exactly work? The science may surprise you&hellip;<\/p>\n<h2>How Do Affirmations Work?<\/h2>\n<p>You might have heard of a process called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/rewiring-your-brain\"><strong>neuroplasticity<\/strong><\/a>. It&rsquo;s <strong>your brain&rsquo;s ability to grow, change, and reorganize itself.<\/strong> At its simplest, neuroplasticity means your brain can keep developing and adapting throughout the course of your life.<\/p>\n<p>While your brain is an incredibly complex organ, it can get confused about what&rsquo;s real and what&rsquo;s imaginary. This is why your body feels tense or you start to worry about &ldquo;what ifs.&rdquo; Your body actually treats the hypothetical scenario as a very real threat.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>But there&rsquo;s a way to use your brain&rsquo;s wiring to your advantage.<\/em> <\/strong>And it has to do with how you create certain mental images or affirmation statements. When you do this, areas of your brain get activated as though <em>you&rsquo;re actually experiencing what you&rsquo;re envisioning.<\/em> This is why regularly repeating positive affirmations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can improve your mood and mental health<\/li>\n<li>Motivate you to take action<\/li>\n<li>Shift your mind away from negativity<\/li>\n<li>Boost your self-confidence<\/li>\n<li>Help reduce anxiety<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, how do you create your own powerful affirmations?<\/p>\n<h2>How to Create Your Affirmations<\/h2>\n<p>The key to creating affirmations that work is <em>making them unique to you<\/em>. The first step is <strong>deciding what you want to change or bring more of into your life.<\/strong> Look at your career, relationships, your body, your mind, and how you want to feel.<\/p>\n<p>Then, <strong>create simple statements in the present tense.<\/strong> Choose the ones that acknowledge and inspire you. For example, if you&rsquo;re notoriously hard on yourself and place your expectations waaaay too high, consider statements like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>I am perfect just the way I am.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>I anticipate mistakes and learn from them.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>I am accomplishing what I set my mind to.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can tailor your affirmations toward any area of your life.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Design Your Affirmation Practice Routine<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you know how affirmations are created, it&rsquo;s time to build them into your daily routine. There&rsquo;s no right or wrong way to do this. What&rsquo;s important is that it works for you.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few tips to get you going:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Start your day by repeating your affirmations to yourself. Do this each morning before your feet hit the floor.<\/li>\n<li>Attach your affirmations to something you do every day, like driving to work or brushing your teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Record them for on-the-go listening. This helps your brain wake up new neuro-channels to integrate all of your new beliefs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you change and evolve, you may notice that your affirmations will too. Feel free to revisit your affirmations every few months and rewrite them as needed.<\/p>\n<h2>Think Your Way to Positivity With Affirmations<\/h2>\n<p>Affirmations are a powerful way to make a change in your life. They help you picture where you want to go and use the power of your mind to get you there.<\/p>\n<p>Really try to make them your own. Write your affirmations down and read them over and over, every day. Soon, you&rsquo;ll be well on your way to a brighter, more positive you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marcus Aurelius once said, &ldquo;You have power over your mind, not outside events.
