IDEAS 

Affirmations are positive statements that are repeated regularly to affirm a positive belief or outcome. They are used as a powerful tool for creating positive changes in your life, by helping you to counteract negative self-talk and limiting beliefs that hold you back from achieving your goals. When you repeat positive affirmations, you are sending a message to your mind that helps you to change your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This can help you to develop a more positive mindset, increase your self-confidence, and improve your overall well-being.

Some people think affirmations are pointless or annoying, however something that can contribute to your sense of self-worth is pretty amazing in our opinion.
