So just what are the benefits of positive affirmations?

You already know that words can be very powerful. They can encourage or provoke happiness, inspiration, love, hate, and anger.

Words can not only encourage or provoke others, but you can use them in a positive way to encourage yourself and provoke changes in your life.

There is science behind the effectiveness of positive affirmations. Studies have shown that positive affirmations will help present positive thoughts and reactions to negativity.

 It may seem awkward at first doing these positive affirmations but if you consistently practice them you will find that they start to replace negative thoughts and will positively lift your self-confidence and self-esteem.

Benefits of Positive Affirmations

Focus your positive affirmations on what you want to achieve. If your affirmations come into conflict with engrained negative thoughts, think through the negative thought, why it is there, and why it is not useful to your healthy mind. This will help you to let the negative thoughts go.

Affirmations are powerful self-help tools to influence changes in your moods, feelings, thoughts and habits. They require practice to be effective. Daily practice is best to ingrain the positive affirmations into your mind and habits.

Give it a try and give it a little time. I believe you will be happy with the results as you change negativity into positivity in a short time. See my Youtube video on the 9 Benefits of Positive Affirmations.
