If you’ve been following my blog, you know I talk a lot about thoughts and how they govern our lives.
I wholehearted believe in the power of our thoughts and why we need to control them.
Essentially, our thoughts become our reality. They are the reason for our past, our present and ultimately our future.
When I was in my early 20s, I was living a rather spontaneous lifestyle with little to no care about my physical, mental or emotional health.
I gave in to any thought I had, whether it be good or bad. Whenever I thought about doing something, I immediately went to satisfy it, rarely thinking about the consequences.
During one the lowest points of my life, I let negative self talk consume my mind and I let negative thoughts consume my life.

It wasn’t until I was finally fed up with the way I was treating myself that I started focusing on self care and self love.
Through my self discovery journey, I learned what affirmations were and how they could help me through a dark time.
The more I used morning and evening affirmations, the more I began to fall in love with the way positive affirmations would make me feel.
I started to believe that I could change and that I could be better.
To be honest, in a way, affirmations changed my life.
Let’s dive deeper into what affirmations are, the benefits of positive morning affirmations and how to use affirmations.
What are affirmations?
Affirmations are positive statements you regularly repeat to yourself, either in your mind or aloud, to change a thought pattern or to construct a new one.
The goal of affirmations is to shed away negative thought patterns and to create a new identity that will serve you.
These statements are ideas and values you want to manifest in your life.
These can be statements of who you would like to become and what you would like to believe about yourself. Affirmations can also include future goals you want to achieve.
With continuous repetition, these new thought patterns enter your subconscious mind, ultimately rewiring your brain; creating your future self.
We become what we think about all day long. The question is, what do you think about?

What are the benefits of positive affirmations?
When consistently repeated over time, the benefits of positive affirmations are profound.
It can change a negative thought pattern into a positive one. It can instill qualities of self confidence, self-esteem, and self love.
There are physical benefits as well from reducing stress on a daily basis to manifesting your wildest dreams, affirmations can be the vehicle for your heart’s desires.
Through reading and repeating these thought patterns, you will begin to develop love and compassion for yourself.
You will heal from your trauma and you will begin to pave the way for your future.
How to practice affirmations?
There is no right or wrong way of practicing affirmations. It’s how you want it to be and what works best for you.
One way to practice affirmations is to repeat them once in the morning and once in the evening. When you read each statement, read them aloud.
Imagine yourself feeling or becoming what you are reading.
Visualize where you are and what you are doing. The more detailed and specific your thoughts are, the more real it will begin to feel.
When you’re truly present in a moment, your brain can’t tell the difference between what is reality and what you’re picturing in your mind.
