I think affirmations work as a tool for shifting your mindset and achieving your goals. But they aren't work like magic for your instant success or healing but can take a lot time and patience. These daily sayings can help you overcome doubts and fears about yourself. It can help you face the world with self belief as well as your strengths and abilities.
Positive affirmations are as easy to define as they are to practice. It's quite simple to practice, all you need is to do pick a positive phrase about yourself and repeat it with all the focus but it require regular practice though, if you want to make lasting and long term changes.
Repeating the affirmations can help you boost your motivation and self confidence, but you still have to take some action by yourself. You need to try thinking of affirmations as a step toward the change, not the change itself. Positive affirmations can help you get through stressful moments until you can politely escape. Actually affirmations didn't make the change but you did, it just offer a starting point but it's you who did it!
