Everything that we are today was once just an idea in our heads. That’s how powerful thoughts can be. You may not believe it right now, but the actions you do are mostly affected by what you were just thinking. That’s why it’s important to watch what we think of others, the world, and of ourselves. That’s because our outlook on everything today may shape our tomorrow.
But of course, there are days when we’re just not ourselves. Maybe it’s just a bad day, or perhaps it’s something more serious (like a loss or a breakup). It is during such times that we need to pull out of that darkness and gloom with a little bit of help. A statement or an affirmation may seem simple enough, but usually, it’s the small things that count. Remember the power of thoughts.
So whenever you feel down or just need a little pick-me-up, keep your favorite affirmations close. Put them in a journal, keep a copy on your phone, or memorize a few to say to yourself. Words have power – and it begins with what you think to yourself every day.
