With these early spring showers throughout the Hudson Valley melting away our seasonal depression it is time for us to start drenching ourselves in some empowering affirmations.
As we continue down our self love journey, this month we are learning that not all affirmations are as cliche as the ones we see on Instagram. Believe it or not self affirmations can have a powerful effect on our self esteem and self worth, and I am not just saying that. I have done my research, babe.
In 2018 a study was reported by pyschcentral finding that self affirmations not only improve your self worth but can also help up in times of uncertainty. Babes, they are saying we can actually relax and calm our bodies by replacing anxious or negative thoughts with positive self love affirmations.
Here are 10 general self love affirmations that you can try:
- I am worthy of love and respect just as I am.
- My imperfections make me unique and beautiful.
- I deserve to prioritize my own well-being and happiness.
- I trust myself to make the best decisions for my life.
- I am capable of achieving my goals and dreams.
- I am enough, exactly as I am at this moment.
- I release comparison and embrace my own journey.
- I forgive myself for past mistakes and choose to grow from them.
- I am deserving of all the good things life has to offer.
- I love and accept myself unconditionally.
None of the self love affirmations will be beneficial to you unless you put in the daily work. Written in the Washington Post the most effective way to make your affirmations work is by wording them to fit your values and self beliefs.
Create affirmations that you can repeat to yourself regularly by finding the silver lining in the shitty circumstances you were dealt with or by changing the narrative on the false beliefs weighing you down.
The summer is right around the corner and we will not be stuck inside our heads, but outside soaking in all the warmth of self love.
So it is important that we go into this month establishing authentic, realistic, and optimistic affirmations that will not only boost our self worth, but help us celebrate our journey, embrace our beauty, and unleash our confidence.
