In Conclusion

Affirmations are just words, but when you repeat them over and over they form a familiar path in your brain. Before you know it, you’ll be saying them to yourself unintentionally when you feel tired and ready for bed, or when you’re putting yourself in the right state in the morning. Perhaps you’ll even hear your child tell herself she’s beautiful and confident. What a wonderful thing to listen to!

I hope these affirmations raise your self-talk to the next level!
