Self-Love Affirmations

“Affirmations are our mental vitamins, providing the supplementary positive thoughts we need to balance the barrage of negative events and thoughts we experience daily.”

What is an affirmation?

Affirmation is the act of affirming or something affirmed, such as a positive assertion or a solemn declaration. It can also mean the act of approving or confirming something.

Statements of affirmations often help rewire negative brain functions. Your brain can process a significant amount of information every single second. I think that it is important to consume positive content, especially while you're struggling. After going through a whirlwind of events that led to my self-love journey, I decided to focus a lot of my energy into self-love and positivity instead of glorifying being broken and abused by someone I cared about.

Would you talk to a small child the way you talk to yourself? No.

So it takes everything you think and say literally. When you speak to yourself and others in a positive way, it changes you on a DNA level in my opinion. I always felt ugly after being mean to someone. Act in beauty not out of hatred. Word of advice here: Words cannot always be taken back so use them wisely, even towards yourself.

I hope that my readers and anyone scrolling on by manage to find this as a helpful tool in their own healing. Build others up, stop tearing them down. Please enjoy these beautiful words of affirmations that helped to heal me.

One day at a time guys.

I also wanted to leave you with a journal prompt that I found online.

"Look at yourself in a mirror, stare at yourself for a while and write down what you love about yourself."

Take this and roll with it. It might seem a bit narcissistic but I honestly had a hard time writing things down. That shouldn't be the case. Love should flow from your pores, especially self-love.

I think that is one of the hardest skills that anybody has to learn in life is how to love themselves again, especially after a series of abusive events.
