Importance of Daily Affirmations

Flexibility is one of the many beneficial features of daily affirmations. When you incorporate them into your life, you will discover that they can serve a variety of purposes, depending on your current circumstances, your immediate goals, and your long-term objectives.

Here are just a few of the many ways that daily affirmations can be important to you:

• Improved performance: A 2015 study found evidence that positive affirmations may activate neural pathways that are related to the sense of reward. This study involved adults who were living sedentary lifestyles and who needed to become more active. Participants in the group that used daily affirmations showed the greatest decrease in sedentary behaviors, even after adjusting for factors such as age, gender, and body mass index (BMI).
• Enhanced self-worth: Positive reinforcement can do wonders for our confidence and self-esteem. Too often, people believe that this type of reinforcement must come from other people. Daily affirmations demonstrate the beneficial impact that positive self-talk can have on how we view ourselves. 
• Disruption of negative thoughts: Every moment you spend focused on an affirmation is a moment when you’re not having negative thoughts about your appearance, your abilities, or any other aspect of who you are. Whenever you find yourself slipping into a pattern of negative thinking, you can use your daily affirmations to disrupt this self-destructive behavior and redirect your mental energy toward more positive outcomes.
• Better mental health: Having doubts and experiencing setbacks are universal human experiences. Unfortunately, these types of challenges can sometimes erode your mental well-being. Daily affirmations aren’t replacements for treatment – but as a technique for pulling yourself out of a low mood or easing your anxiety, they can be quite valuable. 
• Mindfulness: Many of us spend much too much time ruminating over mistakes we’ve already made or worrying about challenges that we haven’t even encountered yet. Reciting daily affirmations focuses you to be fully present in the moment, similar to how the meditative practice of focusing on your breath can help you re-center yourself. 
• Consistency: Long-term progress is often the result of consistent effort. When you make time for affirmations every single day, you are building the type of healthy habit that can fuel great success. Doing this can also remind you that every step in the right direction is a step worth taking, no matter how small it may seem in the moment.
• Motivation: No matter how committed you are to achieving an objective, there will be days when you struggle to muster the motivation you need to maintain your progress. On days like that, daily affirmations can reconnect you with your goals and help you summon the physical and emotional energy to persevere.
