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?

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:

us to start to believe them.

-
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?!
