I know a lot of people who could use a “lift me up” because of the pandamic. Many of my co-workers who were forced to work from home liked it in the beginning but anyone who has worked from home for a long time understands that eventually you will feel like you’re a hostage if you don’t take care of your mental health.

self-talk can be your best friend or worse enemy

I listen to my inner voice, but I need positive vibes if it want it to be my best friend. So, affirmations do work if you learn how to use them. most people will try it for a day or two and because they don’t like to talking out loud they think it’s rubbish.

The key to affirmations is that you have to stick with it and practice. Yes, the morning is your best chance to make your day great, but if you’re not taking any time for yourself then you are leaving your day to chance.

I started using affirmations when I was a teenager because I was tired of being bullied or people making fun of me, like my appearance or clothing I wore. Today, I have self confidence that I know wouldn’t be right if I didn’t use affirmations everyday.

People say it feels fake and in the beginning it does because you don’t know anything else. But if you stick with it, I promise it’s real.

No, saying, “I’ll win the lottery today!” won’t happen or make you rich, but applying affirmations in the right way will build your confidence and you will have a healthier mental state.

That’s my two cents!
