Troubleshooting and honesty

Sometimes affirmations can feel strange or even false at first. That's okay. Start with softer language"I am learning to..." or "I am open to..."and build from there. If an affirmation triggers resistance, ask gently why, and then choose something smaller that feels believable. The goal isnt instant perfection; its a gradual shift in how you talk to yourself.

Make them stick

  • Write one on a sticky note and put it where youll see it.
  • Record yourself and play it back while getting ready.
  • Pair an affirmation with a breath or a stretch to anchor it in your body.
  • Share an affirmation with a friend and invite them to share one back.

Affirmations are a gentle reminder: you don't have to wait for permission to be kind to yourself. Pick a few that resonate, use them daily, and let them guide small choices that add up. If you stick with it, those little shifts in self-talk become the foundation for bigger, lasting change.
