Affirmations
" I was created with a purpose"
Daily affirmations are short, written statements that are meant to increase mental and spiritual wellness as well as give your self-esteem a positive boost. You can write them down or repeat them to yourself when you need them.
One of the choices in recovery is choosing what we want to think- using our mental energy positively.
Whatever we give energy to, we empower.
There is magic in empowering the good, because whatever we empower grows bigger. One way to empower the good is through affirmations: simple positive statements we make to ourselves: i love myself….I am good enough…My life is good…..I’m glad I’m alive today…..What I want and need is coming to me…..I can…..
Our choice in recovery is not whether to use affirmations. We’ve been affirming thoughts and beliefs since we were old enough to speak. The choice in recovery is what we want to affirm.
Today, I will empower the good in myself, and life. I’m willing to release, or let go of, negative thought patterns and replace them with positive ones . I will choose what I want to affirm, and I will make it good.
Below are some examples of positive affirmations that are helpful for me:

Keeping a journal where you write down your affirmations daily
