THE POWER OF POSITIVE DAILY REMINDERS
Positive affirmations, or self-affirmations, are meaningful, positive phrases or ‘prompts’ that we can use to change the way we think and feel.
Practicing positive self-affirmations can have other benefits, besides helping us feel better in the moment, simple reminders start to influence our actions and emotions. Self-affirmations can indeed be subconscious, but very often, we choose to make them. By deciding how we’ll think or act in response to challenging events (or almost anything, really), we do, in fact, have a degree of control over how we feel about those events. One of the key benefits of affirmations is that they can strengthen our sense of self-worth and play a potential role in helping us perform better, as well as giving us a feel-good boost to our self-esteem.
The more frequently you can remind yourself to self-affirm, the more natural it becomes, and the more long-term benefits you will start to see. It’s exactly where little external cues like elastic wristbands come in handy! So, what positive reminders will you start with?
How to care for your elastic wristband: Throw it in the wash or wear it in the shower. Let air dry. It’s that simple!
