Mindful Affirmations is designed to provide you easy access to a wide range of positive affirmations tailored to your own goals. The affirmations can be played while relaxing, or in the background while doing everyday tasks such as brushing your teeth, or waiting for the bus. The idea is that your subconscious can absorb positive affirmations played as background noise, and this way, train your brain toward a more positive mindset. We all have areas in our lives that we think negatively about - it’s completely normal - may it be your work situation, relationships or stress and anxiety management. Sometimes it might even feel like these thoughts are taking over all of your thoughts. Good news is - as these negative thoughts are trained behaviour, it is possible (and quite easy) to train the brain in the opposite direction - to think more positively! Affirmations are a common tool in CBT psychology and life coaching, and proven to have a positive effect on our minds and personal development. By making a habit of listening to, and recording, a series of positive affirmations, we are able to improve common daily struggles such as stress, low self esteem, and motivation. For further reinforcement, you also have the option to record the affirmations yourself, and listen to your own voice. WHAT YOU GET Hundreds of pre-recorded affirmations divided into playlists and categories such as Stress, Daily Happiness, Motivation and many more! The ability to record your own affirmations for extra reinforcement Notifications to remind you of your new habit FREE sample category designed for everyday joy and happiness. The opportunity to subscribe and unlock the FULL library of affirmations tailored to a variety of life goals. BEST PRACTICES Select the topics that best suit your needs right now. Make a habit of listening to your affirmations daily, for at least 5 minutes. As with any new habit, it’s easier to incorporate a new habit to an already existing one! Listening to affirmations work the best when you are able to take a break and fully absorb the affirmations. Having said this however, we know that life can get busy sometimes, which is while we recommend keeping affirmations on in the background while doing daily tasks such as commuting, or brushing your teeth. We recommend that listening to your affirmations daily for at least a month before expecting visible results. New research actually shows that it takes on average 60 days to form new behaviours and habits, so keep this in mind too! Affirmations become more effective when you recite, or listen to them regularly. It can take time and work to reprogram your subconscious mind from past negative programming to positive empowering beliefs. Like anything, the more effort and energy you put in the more immediate and obvious the results will be. The more often you affirm something, the more your mind will accept it, thereby reaping positive changes in your life. Positive affirmations are the first step in creating the mindset you need to achieve your goals. The next step is then taking the appropriate action to see your vision become a reality.
