Thoughts and words have power; maybe more than we want to admit (or even realize we can admit). Saying sentences out loud over and over might seem insane, but it can actually be one of the best steps in our journey of self-love because we’re putting what we want out into the universe. Our future is being dictated by our thoughts and spoken words.

Write your affirmations in your journal, on sticky notes to post around your house, or on your mirror with a dry erase marker. Speak them aloud to yourself as you drive in your car or softly as you lull yourself to sleep. It doesn’t matter how you do it or when you do it, what matters is THAT you do it.

So if you want to love your body more, if you want to keep this body positivity train going, add some affirmations to your routine! There are twenty-five below, and you can find twenty-five more in my Body Positivity E-Course.
