30 day free trial then 99¢ a month or $7.99 a year Build self-esteem with daily affirmations. Includes five basic affirmations plus five personal affirmations you create for your own goals. Affirmations Basic & Personal Almost everyone can benefit from a boost in self-esteem, especially those working toward personal growth or recovery. "Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will." — Zig Ziglar "Before you can change your thinking, you have to change what goes into your mind." — Zig Ziglar Affirmations Basic & Personal provides five simple daily affirmations designed to help strengthen self-esteem and encourage positive thinking. You can also create five Personal Affirmations focused on your own goals, whether you're working toward recovery, quitting smoking, eating healthier, reducing stress, or making other positive life changes. Need ideas? Ask Siri: "Hey Siri, show me some positive affirmations to help me quit drinking... stop smoking... eat healthier..." For best results, read each affirmation aloud five times before moving to the next one. Practice this exercise every day, preferably at the beginning of your day. Whenever negative thoughts begin to take over, open the app and repeat your affirmations. Over time, this simple habit can help replace negative thought patterns with positive ones. Personal growth takes time, patience, and consistent effort. Let this app be one small step on your journey. "Sometimes the thing holding you back is all in your head." Why I Created This App I first learned about affirmations in 1985 while attending a retreat at the Cenacle Retreat House in Warrenville, Illinois. Over the years I discovered that affirmations were an effective way to replace what many in recovery call "stinkin' thinkin'" with positive, constructive thoughts. I originally created this app to help my grandchildren, and anyone else seeking a better life, build confidence and support their recovery journey. I'm grateful to say that affirmations have been an important part of my own sobriety. My last drink was May 30, 1979. If I can do it, you can too. I wish you success, peace, and strength on your journey. Questions, suggestions, or comments? Please email, call or text the Joe Lynn Hotline at 253-JOE-LYNN (253-563-5966). Email: JoeLynn@gmail.com
