Affirmations are short simple statements that help you to be more positive and to declare that something is true in your life. You can make them for different areas in your life like school, health, self-esteem, and etc. When writing affirmations, you want them to be personal, positive and in the present tense. You want to write them down in places where you can see them and repeat them to yourself aloud or quietly. You can also get index cards and write them on the cards so that you are able to carry them around in your purse and backpack. You can be as creative as you want with how you present them to yourself. Here are a few examples:
- I accept myself
-I am unique
-I am a funny person and people enjoy being around me.
-I am a good student
-I am choosing to be healthy
-I am creative
