Positive affirmations can change your mindset and put you on the path to success faster than any other trick can. Over and over again, science has documented the benefits of positive self-talk, and from experience, I can say they work like magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But no matter how well we\u2019re aware of how positive affirmations can help us clear our heads and become a better version of ourselves, it\u2019s not easy to incorporate daily positive affirmations in our routine. This post discusses a detailed step-by-step guide on how you can start practicing daily affirmations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understand how affirmations work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you keep repeating a belief or a value over and over again, it becomes ingrained in your brain and it turns out easier to believe it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the beginning, it might be hard to believe an affirmation like \u201cI am worthy of love,\u201d especially if you\u2019ve been conditioned by a lifetime of doubting your self-worth. The important point is to not give up and keep repeating them even if they don\u2019t sound true at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A beneficial way of getting into this habit is by marking your daily progress on a habit tracker<\/a>. You can also hire an accountability coach<\/a> who will help you stay on track and help your get back with your habit of daily affirmations if you fall off the wagon for some reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t matter if your self-esteem is high or low, positive affirmations can work for you and rewire your mindset if you word them correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to create affirmations that work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Writing your affirmations in the present tense always works better than writing them in the future tense. If you feel \u201cI am worthy of love\u201d sounds too tough at the moment, you can reword it such as \u201cI choose to..\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some other ways to word your affirmations if \u201cI am\u201d feels too overwhelming for you at the beginning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
