An affirmation doesn’t have to be positive to qualify as an affirmation. You could be affirming something that is negative or not even true.
“I hate _____”, “Those people ________”, “I will never be (have) _________”, “I am no good at _______”, or “I love _________ , “I am good at __________” , “I will (can) _________”, etc.
The mind believes what messages are repeated. It doesn’t care if it’s good or true or not.
What do you keep saying to yourself, helpful or not?

I will have a great day!
Thanks Larry
My affirmation went from “I always get hurt” to “I will overcome”. It has truly made a difference in my life. Thanks for bringing this up. Make it a great day!
If you are always having either positive or negative thoughts, they will become you. In high school, I had a history teacher that every morning, he would get on morning announcements and say “I look good and I feel good, and nothing is going to stop me!” Truth be told, I always looked forward to that.
I am grateful for Sheelah Brown, my mother-in-law, a woman of indomitable spirit.
Thank you. I admire your vision , your purpose and your words of wisdom to all. I call that WOW.
I make an active effort now to correct negative self talk, a lifelong bad habit of mine. Less of the “You’re dumb, Patrick” and more of the “You’re learning, Patrick. Keep doing great!”
