What if I told you that you could use the power of positive affirmations to strengthen your self-confidence?

I recently learned that people have 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. Of those tens of thousands of thoughts, 80% of them are negative!

I also read that 97% of women have a negative thought about their body image every day!

What are affirmations? Affirmations are positive statements that you repeat over and over to yourself with the goal of changing some aspect of your life or yourself.

Do Positive Affirmations Really Work?

Yes. However, they must feel true to you, ultimately.

There are some people who believe that positive affirmations do not work for them, and it is likely because they choose affirmations that are not true to them or right for them.

What Are the Benefits of Positive Affirmations?

Affirmations help you in a number of ways.

Above all, they help to change your negative thought patterns into more postive ones.

When you feel more positive about yourself, it boosts your self-confidence.

You are influencing your subconscious mind to form new beliefs. For example, if you are struggling with loving your body, having some positive body affirmations are helpful.

Positive affirmations focus you on a goal. When you focus on this goal, you are more likely to achieve it than if you didn’t. You can’t get there unless you know where you’re going, right?

They also give you the motivation to act. When you take action towards a goal, the momentum builds and makes you more likely to continue to take action until you reach your goal.

Why Are Affirmations so Powerful?

Using affirmations works so well because you can basically program your mind into believing what you say over and over.

I mean think about it. Those negative thoughts you go over repeatedly all day eventually stick and you start believing them.

By replacing these negative thoughts with positive ones, you accomplish the same end result–believing your thoughts. However, in this case, the thoughts were the positive affirmations you are repeating over and over again.

How Long Do Positive Affirmations Take to Work?

As is the case with everything, you must practice repeating the affirmations consistently.

It will take several weeks to experience a noticeable difference – I have ready anywhere from 3 weeks to 1 month, but that it takes several more months for a permanent effect.

How Many Affirmations Should I Say in a Day?

You should say your affirmations, either silently or out loud, for 5 minutes and at least 3 times a day. I love these cute little affirmation cards from Amazon. They’re humorous and don’t feel all new age-y (there are also ones for relationships, family, work, and creativity).

The number you choose is really up to you. However many you feel is appropriate for you to go through in 5 minutes, or the ones that resonate the most with you are the ones you should concentrate on. What is important is that you are practicing self-love regularly.

As you move through your journey to more self-confidence, you may even adjust to using other positive affirmations. Or, you can use other affirmations applicable to another area of your life you want to change.
