Maximize the Benefits of Daily Affirmations:
Maximize the Benefits of Daily Affirmations:
Use the power of repetition. Starting from day one, repeat the affirmation throughout the day.
Actively replace negative thinking with positive affirmations.
Affirmations should be used in the present tense, as if they’re already happening.
If you’re new to using affirmations, understand that your affirmations may not ring true at first. That doesn’t mean it’s not going to work.
Saying the affirmations out loud may feel a little awkward at first. That will change.
