Self-Affirmation
Believe it or not, the way we talk to ourselves affect our mental health and self-concept. When we practice telling ourselves words of support and encouragement, we strengthen our belief that we can help ourselves and overcome challenges when they comes along. This also helps us become physically healthy, less stressed, and more resilient.
Interested to experience the effect of positive self-talk? Let's ditch toxic self-criticism today and begin showering ourselves with words of affirmations! After all, you deserve it!
