Positive self affirmations

​

Positive self-affirmations is a positive statement or belief. They allow us to meet our imposter and inner critic, and change the narrative they bring to our lives.

 

​

Rather than thinking I am not good in a crisis or I can’t stand up for myself at work or I speak before I think – how can you reframe these to the positive?

 

This is a huge thing to learn to do, and a keystone for coaching – focusing on what IS positive

What are you good at?

What do you bring?

 Ie I am a brilliant and creative theatre maker who has engaging stories to tell

 

In 10 minutes write as many as you like, they might feel a bit weird or hard to write. Stick with it, your inner critic will not want you to do this.

 

Keep going you fabulous human!

Next steps:

Saying positive self-affirmations outloud to ourselves allows

us to start to believe them.

​

• Choose one that really resonates with you at the moment (they can and will change as you encounter different challenges)

• Put it up somewhere you can SEE it easily

• Make it gorgeous so it stands out and proud!

• Everytime you SEE  it, SAY IT

• Check in with yourself about how that FEELS

                   (it might be really hard, does it get any easier with time?)

​

The BIG leap

​

This is big, and bold, and brave and actually rather beautiful...

Can you say this positive self affirmation to SOMEONE ELSE?!

​

(TOP TIP - choose someone you really trust, and prep them before you do it. Their reponse only need to be 'good for you')
