Hello my lovelies!

I am so happy to write the second post of the self-care series and I thought what better than talking about affirmations. As you all know, we live in a fast paced and an empowering community. If we want to keep up with the tenacious competition, the only way is to level up your game and get yourself running as a girl boss. And it’s not strange at all, that amidst the path of going above and beyond, it is natural to feel burned out, frustrated and even just lazing around. To strike back against all these emotions, we as millennial face today, it is essential to always remind ourselves that we are enough just the way we are. And that’s why I recommend you to read this post to know more

What are affirmations?

Everything that we repeatedly say to ourselves out loud or in our thoughts are an affirmation. This can be either positive or negative. The self-talk that you indulge within yourself is an affirmation. The way you assure yourself is an affirmation. In a nutshell, if I can cover it up, when you water and nurture the seeds every day, they will grow into a beautiful plant. Consider the seeds to wisdom to be sown into your heart!

Why are affirmations needed?

You know, there is a saying that, “A man who says it’s possible and It’s impossible are both right”! Got confused? Well, let me word it better. When you let positive thoughts creep in your mind and when your state of mind is balanced, even the most difficult task can be done in a giff. But, at the same time, if you keep telling yourself, that it can’t be done, then even the easiest task will seem like a hassle to you. This is one strategy that I am personally implementing and learning new things every day. Or, I must say that those are experiences to be cherished. At the simplest level, when we feel good about ourselves and have a positive attitude, our lives tend to run smoothly. On the other hand, our fear have a self-fulfilling prophecies, that it sort of manifests itself into a reality when we think the opposite.

What are the benefits of affirmations?

Before diving straight right in, I want to tell you that, your life will change only if you are willing to do all the work and this is not a magic pill to give u instant gratification to fulfill all your needs and desires to be a better person. Change is visible only when we do the work to better our inner self

Now that the above is made clear, let’s see what the benefits are:

(i) Helps to raise confidence and boost energy level

(ii) Increased self-esteem and belief in oneself

(iii) Improving productivity

(iv) Helps in developing a sense of accountability to our actions

(v) Aids in controlling anger, feelings of unworthiness and sense of panic

These are some of the sample benefits and they may vary from one person to another.
