The beginning of the year is a good time to reflect on how I'm doing in my life in important areas and what I want to work on improving next. One of my new favorite ways to help myself improve is through positive affirmations.
Negative self-talk is such a damaging bad habit. It undermines goals I set for myself. In our relief society lesson today, it was pointed out that we are much more likely to reach our goals if we set goals that line up with our identity, how we truly see ourselves.
Repeating affirmations can help me to see the person I am striving to be, to begin with the end in mind. They can help me align my daily decisions so I can become the person I want to become.
In a weekly newsletter focusing on different talks from general conference called Work & Wonder, I have been reading affirmations that are created to line up with the main ideas of each talk. I recently started adding these affirmations to Google Keep and I put a widget on my home screen so I can easily review these throughout the week. It's powerful to envision myself becoming more.
Instead of focusing on multiple traditional goals, this year I will focus on these two words, "I am." I can't wait to see how I will grow this year.
