What Voices Do You Hear in Your Head?

I recently visited a business for an appointment. As I walked from the foyer to the office, I noticed a small corner dedicated to children. The drawings on the wall conveyed powerful messages.

These self-affirmations, designed for children, promote growth and self-acceptance. They encourage the development of a positive inner voice during extremely impressionable years. I smiled and thought of how wonderful this was as an opportunity for young minds to develop their positive self-talk.

Importanly, these affirmations benefit adults as well. Consider each of these:

๐ˆ ๐š๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐: A recognition of the affection and support from others.

๐ˆ ๐š๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐š๐ซ๐ญ: An acknowledgment of oneโ€™s intelligence and ability to learn.

๐ˆ ๐š๐ฆ ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐: A reminder of the importance of compassion and empathy.

๐ˆ ๐š๐ฆ ๐œ๐š๐ฉ๐š๐›๐ฅ๐ž: An affirmation of oneโ€™s skills and potential to achieve.

๐ˆ ๐š๐ฆ ๐›๐ซ๐š๐ฏ๐ž: A declaration of courage in facing challenges.

๐ˆ ๐š๐ฆ ๐ž๐ง๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก: An acceptance of oneโ€™s worth and completeness.

Our human mind responds to the messages we provide it. It strives to align with our perceptions. What does your inner voice communicate? Do you notice positive affirmations in your environment, or do negative messages dominate?

Reflect on what you instruct your mind to seek. Embrace positivity and incorporate daily self-affirmations into your routine.

Try this list on for starters, or come up with your own: โ€œI am [insert positive term/phrase].
