Big Bold Affirmations FTW!

Have the following phrases ever crossed your mind?

“Today is gonna be a bad day”,

“Why is this happening to me?”,

“I’m unlucky” or

“I hate my life”.

Chances are you have, and surprise, surprise! Your day might have ended up being actually bad!

“It’s not my fault I have a sh**ty life” you want to say? Well, girl, you can do something about it.

The words you utter will constantly impact your life. These repeated words are commonly known as affirmations and can be either positive or negative. We tend to repeat negative affirmations more often than not, triggering our subconscious mind into believing these words, which in turn diminishes your spirit leading to undesirable results. But, positive affirmations will prompt the subconscious mind to aspire and work on the individual’s behalf to make these statements come true!

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?

At first, it seems a little hard to believe that just by thinking about something positive you can change your entire life. If you think it’s too easy, you might be wrong. Living in an era where social media persistently feeds you information about other people’s lives can make you compare your situation with others. You might always think that you’re not good enough, not rich enough, not fortunate enough and so on. So, while thinking positive may seem easy, in reality, it may be harder than you think because of the external circumstances you undergo.
