Have you told yourself how great you are today (AND meant it!) ? There is no better time than right this second to remind yourself how amazing of a human you are!

We're talking ALL about affirmations this week and how they give us the mental boost we need to push through barriers and believe in ourselves!

The term affirmation occasionally confuses people, so to start, let me tell you exactly what an affirmation is. An affirmation is a declaration or a confirmation about a current truth. For an affirmation to work, it needs to be 100% true about you, your current moment, your environment, or your state of being.

With that being said, let's talk about why affirmations are SO important in the life-changing, goal-creating process! The research is there: using affirmations to try and change what you think by proclaiming a non-truth can actually decrease self-esteem AND make matters worse. It is SO, SO important to only speak the truth when you are writing your affirmations. 

There are two types of affirmations:

1. Other-Affirmation. These come from other people to you, and they speak a global truth that is meant to boost self-confidence & self-esteem.
2. Self-Affirmation. These come from YOU -- that little voice inside your head and the self-dialogue you have daily.

I can not stress the importance of affirmations being a part of your daily routine. In order to get where you want to go, you need to believe that you can get there!
