You may have heard me talk about money affirmations before, but what exactly is an affirmation and why would you use them?

First, let’s look at why you would want to incorporate affirmations into your life.

The short answer is because your mind is a powerful tool and the words you think or say to yourself affect many parts of your life. 

I won’t go too far into the weeds, but the long answer has to do with actual science and the reactions that happen in your brain when positive thoughts and affirmations are used. Basically the brain’s reward centers are activated and you feel pleasure and improved levels of self-worth. Pretty awesome, right?

Have you ever woken up in a bad mood? When you do, if you continue to focus on being grumpy and sleepy (dwarf reference not intended!), odds are, your day will continue along those lines.

If you decide, however, that you aren’t going to let waking up on the wrong side of the bed bring you down and focus on the opportunities the day has in store for you, you will probably feel a shift in your mood. 

All because of a thought in your mind!

Affirmations work in a similar way.

An affirmation is a short, powerful statement that puts you back in control of your thoughts.

You know that little voice in the back of your head that tells you you aren’t smart enough or aren’t good with your money? By beginning to recognize when those thoughts pop up, you can gently push them aside and replace them with a positive affirmation such as ‘I am worthy’ or ‘I am the master of my money.’

Feel how much lighter and happier those statements are?

The more you do this, the more you can begin to shift your mindset. And a mindset shift just might change the way you see everything!
