By: Kilondra Davis, MA, LMHC, NCC

Affirmations are sentences or phrases that help reinforce positive beliefs. They are used to help encourage and motivate us towards our goals, desires, and ultimately our best selves. As a result of life's challenges, it can be easy to become a our own worst critic.

We can truly get so down on ourselves that feel stuck in a dark place. One of the benefits of using affirmations, is they can help shift and decrease those negative thoughts to where we are able to begin to climb out.

For some of us, we may not be in a dark place, but are still striving to be better than where we are. Affirmations can be a great tool for this too! Affirmations are simply used to help water ourselves. To give us the nutrients we need to bloom.
