Day 16 - Daily Affirmation 2: Why Positive Self-Talk is Key to Self-Love

No time for a full mirror pep talk? No problem. Today’s challenge was about daily affirmations, but instead of standing in front of the mirror, I used my phone. It actually was less awkward than looking in the mirror and I didn't hate it. It was nice to have someone (even if that person was me) telling me nice things.

Why Daily Affirmations Work:

  • Reframes Negative Thoughts: Positive self-talk helps counter self-doubt and anxiety.
  • Boosts Confidence: Regular affirmations can improve your self-image over time.
  • Creates Intentionality: Taking a moment to check in with yourself helps you refocus.

For a long time, I thought affirmations weren’t for me. They felt cringy and too far removed from how I actually felt. But if I want to change my mindset, I need to do it in a way that feels authentic—and that means embracing the awkwardness.

And hey, if you’re feeling lonely or just need someone to talk to—especially during the holidays—reach out to me. We’re all in this together, and connecting with others is one of the most powerful forms of self-love.
