These 5 Affirmations Will Help You Become More Resilient
When someone first introduced me to affirmations, mantras, whatever you wanna call them, I almost threw up.
Nothing against them, but it seemed almost corny in a way — talking to the mirror, and trying to convince myself of something I clearly wasn’t or things that clearly weren’t.
Yet, when things got tough and I had to go through things I would’ve never imagined, I welcomed them very quickly in trying to repair a broken and repressed spirit.
And so, with lots of effort and investment in training my mind to rewire and connect the right thoughts, I made it, and I’m proud (that could be an affirmation by the way).
So if you’re going through one hell of a challenge and need a hand, let’s start with how affirmations work.
