You already have the power within you to make whatever changes you desire in your life and to become the person that you want to be. You are more capable than you think, more worthy than you know, and have the ability to empower yourself to reach your full potential. You have everything within you already that you need to be who you want to be and achieve all that you desire.
Recent research in the Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience journal reported that:
“A large body of literature… demonstrates that a class of interventions called self-affirmations have benefits across threatening situations; affirmations can decrease stress, increase wellbeing, improve performance and make people more open to behavior change.”
Another study reported that:
“Self-affirmation has been shown to have powerful effects — research suggests that it can minimize the anxiety, stress, and defensiveness associated with threats to our sense of self while keeping us open to the idea that there is room for improvement.”
There is an abundance of evidence on the benefits of self-affirmations. The key is to internalize what you’re affirming and integrate them into daily practice.
Today I just want to remind you of the power of your thoughts and intentions and how capable you are of creating whatever reality you wish for. You can build the life you desire and you are deserving of that life.

Affirmations can be a great tool for reducing stress and feelings of powerlessness, increasing self-esteem and empowerment, and motivating you to act on whatever necessary changes need to be made in your life to be who you want to be. Make them a part of your life and allow your thoughts and beliefs to guide your life. Change the narrative of your self-talk and change the outcome of your life.
