Positive affirmations are short phrases or mantras that you repeat to yourself, which are positive in nature and describe a specific outcome or result. You say these affirmations to give yourself motivation, belief and for a feel-good factor. At first, these affirmations might not be true, but with constant repetition, your subconscious mind will start to believe them. When you verbally affirm our dreams and ambitions, or even say something positive to feel better, there is a sense of reassurance that things will work out and wishes can become realities. Similar to exercise, they can raise the level of feel-good hormones and help our brains form new clusters of “positive thought” neurons. These positive affirmations are often used in meditations and help you reduce stress due to its calming and positive effect!
