7 Benefits of Positive Affirmations for Mental Health

Written by:

1) Reduces stress

The fact that you are consciously thinking of phrases and coming up with ideas of what and how to write them down fills your mind with good optimistic thoughts. Then reciting your statements reinforces them even more which reduces your stress and anxiety in the process.

2) Maximizes overall wellbeing

The daily practice of reciting your phrases causes you to work on and develop a good healthy and beneficial habit and/or routine. Which in turn improves your own lifestyle for the better. Basically a win-win situation.

3) Control of your own self-beliefs

Because our mind controls what we believe to be real. Whatever we truly believe also affects how we react to things happening in our lives. Even if it’s outrageous like, no one likes me, I always fail, and so on. So using uplifting optimistic statements in the morning gives us a chance to take back control and direct our minds in a more self-encouraging direction.

4) Supercharges your self-worth

Doing positive affirmations for mental health reasons is awesome because while reciting them, you are continuously reminding yourself, you are worth it. So your self-esteem, confidence, and self-worth, all increase, and because you are more aware of the thoughts and words you use, you reduce the odds of negativity seeping in.

5) Encourages you to become your best

You can not do these statements day to day without making changes to yourself. It just can’t be done. So a great benefit is that it encourages you to work on making the best changes you can, to the best of your ability which results in you changing your behavior.

6) Powerful mood booster

Starting your day with a feel-good emotionally charged optimistic phrase allows you to go out with a strong powerful mood and in turn tends to cause your day to run much better than heading out the door with the typical doomy gloomy attitude.

7) Better clearer perspective

It helps people develop a broader perspective when it comes to how they view themselves in comparison to everything else that is going on in the world around them. Daily practice helps to keep the small things in perspective. In this high-speed world, you can easily lose sight of how large or small things really are.
