Affirmations for every day: a calmer mind and a happier life!

Learn to use affirmations every day. Gain peace, confidence and joy. Simply, humanly and scientifically..

Have you said anything nice to yourself today? No? No problem – the perfect time to start is right now! Affirmations are like little magic formulas that can do big things. They help you direct your thinking in the right direction, lift your spirits, and start creating the life you want. And don't worry, you don't even need a magic wand.

What are affirmations and why use them?

Affirmations are short, positive sentences that you repeat to yourself with the aim of changing your internal settings. First of all, they are not a spell, but a way to transform negative thoughts in your head into supportive and healthy ones. The brain has one great property – it is regenerative, so-called neuroplastic. If you repeat something to it often enough, it will create new pathways. And guess what – these new pathways can lead to greater self-confidence, peace and joy.

How affirmations affect the mind, relationships and self-confidence

For example, studies show that affirmations activate the reward and self-concept centers in the brain. This leads to increased self-esteem, greater resilience to stress, and improved relationships. Simply start replacing thoughts like “I’m not good enough” with statements like “I’m capable and competent.” And believe it or not, those around you will feel it too—because when you shine from within, the world will know it.

When and how to use affirmations?

✨ In the morning after waking up - when the mind is fresh and ready for a new day.
🌙 In the evening before bed - when the brain is calm and absorbs information like a sponge.
🪥 When brushing your teeth, commuting to work or waiting for coffee - every moment counts.

A few minutes a day is all it takes. What matters is regularity, not perfection. And don't forget: repetition is the mother of change (and affirmations).

How to formulate affirmations so they work

• In the present tense: “I am…”, not “I will…”
• Positively: Focus on what you want, not what you don't want.
• Specifically: Instead of “I feel better,” try “I have enough energy and joy every day.”

A few examples:

• "I'm getting closer to my goals every day."
• "I love myself and accept myself as I am."
• "I am enough and I deserve love and success."
• "I feel calm and confident in every situation."

"The Power of Affirmations According to Science" - Neuroplasticity

Above all, positive affirmations are actually short, encouraging sentences that act as a "software update" for our brain!

And you know what? Your brain is like a good old smartphone – it can update itself even after you turn 50! Scientists call it neuroplasticity, which means that the brain makes new connections, much like when we make new friends on social media. When you regularly repeat positive affirmations, your brain says, “Ah, this is important, I’ll remember it!” and gradually changes both your thinking and your behavior.

You can find more about how the brain perceives reality in the article " Brain "He doesn't perceive reality, but what we tell him! How can we influence our health and aging?" on the website velkeholky.org. The most important thing to know? Your brain doesn't react to reality, but to what you tell it! So ladies, be careful what story you tell him – he might take it too much to heart!

Honest affirmations

However, it is important to realize that… repeating to yourself “I am slim” when you are having a bad day and your pants are squeezing you? Hard to believe. But if you say to yourself: “I am learning to eat with love for myself” – that sounds more realistic, right?

Affirmation by Louise Hay: Learn from the best

And Louise Hay was the mother of affirmations, a bestselling author, and a woman who transformed the lives of millions of people. She taught that every thought creates our reality. The more often you repeat something positive, the more it becomes ingrained.

By the way, her favorite affirmations are:

• "I love and accept myself exactly as I am."
• "Life supports me."
• "Everything I need comes to me at the right time."

Even though it's simple - it's not always easy! So start where you are. And repeat. With love.

Summary: What to take away (and feel free to stick on the fridge)

• Affirmations are not magic – they are a tool.
• They work best when they are sincere, positive, and repeated regularly.
• It doesn't matter if you sometimes doubt yourself - the main thing is not to give up.

🎯 Final challenge: Choose one affirmation, write it down on a piece of paper, and repeat it to yourself every day for a week. Then watch what starts to change.
