You deserve happiness. Do you know that? Deep down in your gut, do you believe it? With periodic recitation of these stepmom affirmations, not only will you begin to believe you deserve happiness, but you’ll begin to receive it. You’ll embrace the good things happening in your life – the good things happening in you.
Stepmom Affirmations – Because You Deserve Happiness
An affirmation is a proven method of rewiring your brain. When you change the individual thoughts, you change the thought pattern. When negativity is the main message in your brain, you’re left feeling unhappy and unfulfilled.
If you can rewire your brain to think positively about yourself and your situation with these stepmom affirmations, I’m certain you’ll be in a better place on the other side.
Sound a little silly? Trust me, it definitely feels unnatural the first few times you recite affirmations to yourself. But with time, it becomes easier and feels more natural. You begin to believe the things you’re saying, and you begin to really believe in yourself again.
It’s just like with exercise (New Year’s resolutions anyone?) – you make small little changes to develop a habit and work toward better general health. With a few small mental shifts, you’ll find yourself in a much healthier mental state thanks to your new habits.
Pick a few from the list below and recite them each day. You could choose to say them in your head, but you’ll believe yourself more when you verbalize the statements. Push yourself a little farther from your comfort zone and speak your affirmations to yourself in the mirror. Look yourself in the eye and let her know you believe in her.
Experts disagree on the optimal affirmation method, but I think you should do what makes you feel best. Whether that’s repeating the statements to yourself for five minutes three times a day, emphasizing every letter of every word you say, or asking a friend to recite your affirmations back to you – just make sure you’re telling yourself those things you need to hear.
