Positive Affirmations

It really is true that positive self talk will make you feel better about yourself, achieve the results you desire, and relieve stress. Everyone should practice positive self talk and affirmations. If you have a chronic health condition, it is even more imperative that you learn this skill.

Positive self talk is not hard to learn. You can tailor it to suit your needs and personality. As long as you are giving yourself a positive message and reinforcing it, it’s all good. As with anything, practice makes perfect, so use positive self talk and affirmations often.

Health problems can affect the inside as well as the outside of a person. Learning to love yourself no matter what is very important to overall happiness. Sometimes it’s hard to see the good for the bad, but you must learn to do it. All it takes is a little time and positive self talk to conquer all your doubts and fears.

Here are some affirmations to get you started:

·         I am a wonderful, talented, capable person.

·         I can accomplish whatever I set out to do.

·         I will take my health problems seriously, but will not let them run my life.

·         I am beautiful on the inside and out.

·         I am worth it.

·         I am not going to give up.

·         I am a productive member of society.

·         I am not crazy.

·         I CAN do it.

·         I am lovable.

There are many more positive affirmations you can practice. Anything that is a positive trait you wish to reiterate to yourself should be reinforced daily. Comments people have made that hurt your feelings or made you feel like less of a person should be taken in, turned inside out, and changed into something positive. This isn’t easy, but is possible. You know you are a good person and the comment was wrong. All you have to do is convince yourself and make the negative into a positive.

Whenever you find yourself thinking negative thoughts, stop immediately. You have to reprogram yourself. Talking negatively to yourself never does any good. We all have shortcomings and things we aren’t good at. That doesn’t make us a bad person. Knowing our limitations is only important so that we can grow.

Start practicing positive self talk right now. It will become second nature soon and you’ll see how much better it will make you feel about yourself.

Be good to yourself! It leads to health and happiness.
