Changing your mindset is the single most powerful and important step you can take to change your life. The power of positive thinking has been studied by the psychiatric medical, scientific and spiritual community and they've all determined the same thing - positive thinking has power. Of course, changing the way you think is easier said than done. That's where positive affirmations become a very useful tool.
What are Positive Affirmations?
Affirmations are positive statements used to replace negative ones. For women, one problem area is weight. Many say, "I am fat." instead of seeing yourself in such a negative light, turn that statement into a positive one. "I love my body and I am the perfect weight for me."
A positive affirmation gives you a way to fight against negative thinking. When you think in positive ways it is possible to change your life one step at a time.
What Affirmations Work for You?
Everyone has certain negative thoughts that they want to change. Depending on what you "negatives" are here is a broad list of possible positive affirmations that bring hope.
