What is an affirmation?

soulsings June 24th, 2022

If you are wondering what an affirmation is, here are a few definitions:

  • It is a short sentence that motivates, inspires and encourages you to take action and to realize your goals.
  • It is a sentence that you repeat often, in order to imprint it on your subconscious mind. This repetition can change your habits, behavior and point of view.
  • Words and thoughts have power. When you repeat them often, they can, in various ways, affect and make changes in your environment.
  • It is a positive thought and belief that can change your thought patterns and overcome negative self talk.

What is your affirmation of today?

What ideas about yourself do you really believe are true?

What ideas or qualities do you really wish you possesed?

@soulsings

Even though affirmation is relatively a common word we use often, sometimes the meaning or what it represents for someone personally may differ. Thankyou for sharing so many amazing definitions, Soul, they do capture the meaning of this word in the most generic sense, I feel. ❤

Those are some great questions, I'll try to use when I next sit with my journal lol. 😊

@SirenOfSerenity way to go - nice way to start the day.

I often think of an affirmation in the morning of setting an intention for the day.
