Original article and pictures take uncoveryourjoy.com site

Self-love is incredibly important, especially for those of us who struggle with disabilities, mental illness, or difficult lives. We often develop beliefs about ourselves and the world that create negative thoughts (like “I am unworthy”). It’s these beliefs that affirmations can change. They effectively help us live a more positive and love-filled life.

Affirmations are powerful statements that have the ability to change our beliefs about anything. For the greatest impact, affirmations are spoken aloud first thing in the morning or right before bed, since this helps them sink into our subconscious. We can also write them on the margins of notebooks, in daily journal entries, or on sticky notes we leave around the house. You can even say your favorite affirmations when you’re in a difficult spot or deeply upset, or if you want to break out of a self-destructive pattern.

How you infuse these affirmations into your life is up to you. Pick your favorites, use those affirmations often, and you’ll notice a huge difference. Enjoy!
