Daily affirmations

Daily affirmations are a practice of positive thinking, which involves repeating to oneself a carefully formatted statement frequently and believing those statements!

The affirmations need to be in the present tense, it needs to be personal, positive, energetic, and specific for it to be the most effective.

When you repeat these positive affirmations daily, you re-train your brain to think differently and to focus on what you want instead of what you don’t want.

Write 5 positive affirmations and repeat them in the morning upon waking and at night before bed. 

Examples: 

I am dedicated to following my weight loss plan.

I am slim and fit.

I am strong in mind and body.

I choose to eat healthy foods.

I awaken each day feeling healthy and alive with energy.

Choose positive words with no negative connotations.

If you want to lose weight, don't use words such as, "I am not fat", or "I am losing weight."

These are negative statements, bringing into the mind mental images of what you do not want.

Repeat instead, "I am getting slim", or "I am at my ideal weight".

This type of wording builds positive images in your mind.
