What are Affirmations and how can they help with Self Improvement?

Affirmations are statements we think or say to ourselves or others. An example of an affirmation you may have heard is ‘Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better’. This may sound quaint and old fashioned, which is not not surprising, as it was written by Dr Emile Coue, who ran a clinic in France in the early 20th century. The major part of his method to successfully treat thousands of patients, with many different afflictions, was to repeat this affirmation 20 times, twice a day.

He said he never cured anyone, but taught people to cure themselves. However, these cures certainly did occur and are well documented.

Affirmations themselves can be either positive or negative. Saying ‘This always happens to me’ when something goes wrong is an example of a negative affirmation.

Many Self Improvement Experts and Brain Researchers are convinced that affirmations, and the thoughts we regularly hold in our minds, actually create our reality, and influence and shape what happens to us in our lives. If we change what we believe, and say and think to ourselves, we can change our reality and lives.
