Thank you for sharing these! I love using affirmations. It’s really powerful and it really helps with my self esteem and confidence!
Thank you for reading and commenting.
I write myself little sticky notes during my night time routine. Before I go to bed my son will place them about, on my bathroom mirror. Coffee pot, back of the front door. Etc. And vice versa- he writes them and I place them about for him. Seems like we always notice them during the point in the day we need them. Seeing as how we are stuck in doors together pretty much 24/7. This is my HUGE silver lining.
This is such a wonderful thing to do for one another. Thank you for sharing. Have you got a blog I can read?
This is such an amazing idea i love this!
Very helpful. These affirmations will boost positivity in one self.
Nice post! it is a great start if someone is unsure of how to use affirmations.

I made a pretty huge mistake in my work today and got SO mad at myself. Sitting at my desk just angry with feeling useless and stupid. I’m also having a horrible chronic illness flare-up today. I was not in a good place. I took a moment to go through these affirmations and I just need to say THANK YOU. I’m in tears with how much this helped today.
Oh no, so sorry to hear you made a mistake, however you are human and it is okay to make mistakes and it doesn’t define you or your worth. I am so glad you found some comfort in these affirmations xx
This is so nice…I need to learn to say more kind words to myself
