Positive Affirmations (Verbal Vitamins)

Today, we’re talking about one of my favorite topics (at least in my top 10) that sounds simple but can be deeply transformative: positive affirmations. You’ve probably seen them on sticky notes, Instagram quotes, FB or maybe even your bathroom mirror—phrases like “I am enough,” or “I am in control of my thoughts.” But… Do they actually work? And if so, how? Let’s explore science—and then I’ll share some powerful affirmations you can start using today. So, what exactly are positive affirmations? In a nutshell, they’re short, powerful statements that you repeat to yourself to challenge and change unhelpful thoughts. Think of them as little verbal vitamins for your brain—nourishing, strengthening, and protective.

Positive affirmations are more than just feel-good phrases. Backed by real science, they can help you reshape your internal dialogue, build resilience, and take meaningful steps toward a better you. If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to share it with someone who might need a little encouragement today.
