Affirmations are short statements that help to change your mindset.  

​

They help us to overcome our limiting beliefs and empower us with positivity and gratitude.  

​

The words that we speak to ourselves, shape our belief system. They influence our subconscious mind to create our reality.

​

We are shaped by what our parents, society taught us and in the environment, we grew up in. Certain beliefs become ingrained in us that it is very hard for us to break from. It builds insecurities from personal experience that is not addressed with a mental health therapist.

1. I don’t deserve to take breaks because it shows that I am lazy.  

1. I must get a job that society determines is best for me.  

1. I must have children by 27.  

1. I must not make mistakes because it shows my weakness as a person.  

1. I must not be selfish by praying for what I hope to achieve in life.  

1. I don’t deserve to be loved.
