AFFIRMATIONS OVERVIEW:

Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTs) and limiting beliefs can be very destructive over time. If left unchecked, ANTs can unnecessarily rob us of our happiness, success, and wellbeing. One of America's leading psychiatrists and brain health experts, Dr. Daniel Amen, suggests it’s important to neutralize the ANTs before they multiply and grow and ruin our emotional picnics.

One of the ways to neutralize ANTs (and other limiting beliefs), is through the use of affirmations. Affirmations are positive thoughts or beliefs that when repeated often, can change our thought patterns and help us overcome our negative self talk and limiting beliefs. Research (link below, not sure how to cite) shows that affirmations have the ability to activate the pleasure and reward centers of the brain, and can even provide a barrier of sorts to help shield us from negative thoughts and emotions.

Below is a sample list of affirmations for you to review. When listened to regularly, they have the ability to neutralize the negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs that often hold our happiness hostage. Please consider that these are merely prompts, and can and should be augmented to fit your particular feelings, values, and beliefs. As a result, not all of them may resonate with you, so look for the ones that speak to you and for you, and happily leave the rest.

AFFIRMATION INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Compile a list of the affirmations that speak to you and for you.

  2. Record them onto a Voice Memo app (or similar) on your smart phone when you you’re in a particularly good mood, or have some extra pep in your step.

  3. Once recorded, listen to the affirmations - in your own voice - at your leisure. It may help to think that you are “fighting fire with fire” by providing some nutrient dense positivity for your brain. Some benefit from listening while on the way to / from work. How we think is often not our fault…it’s just our default, and affirmations are one of the many helpful tools that can help change our default back to the settings we like and prefer.

    Enjoy!
