Benefits of Positive Affirmations

Affirmations are positive statements that are repeated to oneself regularly to change one’s mindset and achieve one’s goals

1. They can activate the reward centers of the brain, rewire the brain, and improve one’s overall mindset 12. Affirmations can also be used to manifest abundance and bring positive change in different aspects of one’s life, such as health, relationships, and self-love 123.

Affirmations work by retraining the subconscious mind to think and act in a more positive way. They can help you overcome negative thoughts and beliefs that may be holding you back from achieving your goals 1. By repeating affirmations regularly, you can create new neural pathways in your brain that support your goals and aspirations 2.

There is scientific evidence to show how and why affirmations work on your subconscious mind. Studies have shown that affirmations can help reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood, increase self-esteem, and even improve physical health
