Jul 31, 2022๐ I am quoted in Oprah Daily on the topic of positive affirmations.
๐ I find that "lipstick on the mirror"/toxic positivity self-talk to be unhelpful. These types of statements can indeed make someone feel worse because they don't feel genuine.
๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ One thing that can be helpful is if you can ask yourself, โIf my best friend was struggling, what would I tell them?โ Then say to yourself what you would tell them and see if it feels right for you.
๐ Here's another example. Say a person values education and is studying for a particularly difficult exam. They can tell themselves, โStudying for this test feels overwhelming and I will also be one step further to my goals once it's over.โ โIโve done hard things before and I can do this too.โ
๐ถ Other ideas are to use your favorite quote, lyrics from a song, or lines from a loved book to use for your affirmations.
โก๏ธ Itโs all about making genuine affirmations. Donโt force anything.
