31 Positive Affirmations To Step Into Your Inner Power

Many moms are very skeptical of starting a positive affirmations ritual. After all, who needs to add yet another item to the to-do list? As moms, we learn to be quite protective of our time and strive to prioritize… and that’s a great pursuit.

However, if you are intrigued about the power of positive affirmations, I’m here to report that they do work. As a word-nerd and strong advocate of the power words have to both build and destroy, heal and hurt, bond and separate, I know that our words greatly impact our world.

As women, we tend to bully ourselves with our words, and changing the negative self-talk into self-affirming compliments, praise, and appreciation can dramatically improve our lives. I know deep inside [and maybe not so deeply] we all acknowledge this at some level, but it seems unreal that such a simple, quick practice could make such a big difference.

As someone who loves to smile – and who just recently had dental work, too – I think we can compare saying your positive affirmations to brushing your teeth in the morning: it makes you feel confident about your day ahead AND it has positive lasting effects, too.

You can say your affirmations in just a few minutes and all you do is read them out-loud to yourself in a confident voice, in a quiet, undisturbed place [which for us moms is probably the place with the biggest mirror, which works out just great]. And then, just trust that God’s Hand is at work. That’s it.

This auto-suggestion ritual may seem too easy to actually work; however, neuroscience has proven that they’re really quite effective in re-wiring our brain, seeding our subconscious in a powerful way to increase self confidence and self love, provide a lasting sense of empowerment, promote healing, and invite achievement and into your life. You can transform your life simply by altering your thought patterns!
