Decades ago, I had a boss who would urge us all to gather at the end of the day and say "I can, I will, I must" Of course we found it funny but chanted it anyway. Little did I know that it was my first I am affirmation and that it would be stuck in my head forever. Gradually, I realized that saying it did increase my confidence and my self-belief.
Credit for I am affirmations in my life also goes to my Mom. Every time I went through a bad patch or a self-doubt phase, she would suggest I tell myself:
I am guilty of scoffing at the suggestion because I secretly did not believe it would work. Nevertheless, I repeated those affirmations anyway because I loved her.
She would leave little notes with I am affirmations where I could find them. Even in the lunchbox she packed me for work. I would save the notes in the empty coaster stand on my desk simply because - well - how could I not keep them! I wish I had a picture. I must admit I feel a bit sheepish now-because those affirmations grew on me. I began to believe in them.
Why I am Affirmations?
Affirmations are positive phrases or statements that are proven to increase our self-confidence and self-esteem. Repeat them enough times and you'll find that they replace the negative stuff that goes on in your head.
The wonderful thing about I am affirmations is that they remind us of our best qualities. They also empower us, fill us with confidence. The best thing though? They give our inner critic a solid kick in the rear.
Sure, it seems a bit weird to say your affirmations initially but you do get used to it.
It also helps to write down these affirmations. It is an act of self-care, where you think better about yourself and show your self-doubts the door.
