Affirmations To Combat Negative Core Beliefs

Affirmations are an important recovery tool. They are powerful messages that confirm our worth.

Identify negative beliefs: Begin by identifying the negative core beliefs and shame that you want to address. Reflect on the thoughts and beliefs that hold you back or contribute to your struggles. Awareness is the first step toward change.

Challenge negative beliefs: Once you’ve identified negative beliefs, question their validity. Are they based on evidence, or are they distorted perceptions? Challenge these beliefs by seeking evidence to the contrary and considering alternative perspectives.

Use present tense and positive language: As you create affirmations, use the present tense and word them as if they are already true. This helps to reprogram your subconscious mind and reinforce positive beliefs. For example, say “I am becoming stronger every day” instead of “I will be strong someday.

Repeat affirmations consistently: Practice your affirmations regularly, ideally daily. Say them out loud or write them down, and repeat them with conviction and belief. Consistency and repetition help to reinforce the positive messages and gradually rewire your thought patterns.

Seek support: It can be beneficial to seek support from a therapist, counsellor, or support group. They can provide guidance, help you process underlying issues, and offer feedback on your affirmations.

Few Affirmations for Practice: 

I am working on my recovery.

I am an imperfect yet worthwhile person.

I have value and worth.

I can love myself and accept my past.

I am worthy of love and acceptance, exactly as I am.

Today, I choose to live in the moment.

I am a better person today than I was yesterday.

I am able to ask for and accept help when I need it, without feeling ashamed.

I am striving for progress, not perfection.

I am making positive changes in my life, one step at a time.

Its Okay To Cry

Its okay to cry, the sky does it too.

Tears have stress hormones which are released when we cry.
Holding back tears gets stress stuck in the body. Stress impacts the pain we experience and over time, contributes to the development of chronic illnesses.
Many chronic illnesses are literally unprocessed emotions.

Alternate Solutions To Same Problem

Alternate solutions to same problem.

When you find yourself seemingly stuck in a negative mood, an uncomfortable place, or a difficult situation, ask yourself, Can I turn my head? In other words, is there another way to view this situation, a broader perspective to take, perhaps filled with more awe and gratitude? We cannot force this shift in perspective, but we can offer ourselves the opportunity to step back and view the potential lessons available if we can remain curious.

There is nearly always another way to view a situation if we can be open to it.
