What are positive affirmations?

Positive affirmations are statements that you repeat to yourself, often in the morning, throughout the day, or before bed, to help build self-confidence and positive thinking. 

They can be about anything you want to improve in your life, such as your relationships, job performance, or physical well-being.

Positive affirmations help change the way your brain interprets what it hears, which helps develop new habits and behaviors.
