Telling myself positive affirmations has been part of my wellness routine for several years. I remember saying them in the mirror during medical school prior to starting a clinical rotation or taking an exam. Subsequently, my husband and I have passed this teaching on to our daughter, Asha. She has a list of affirmations that she recites before bed. Studies have shown that starting your day or week off with positive affirmations helps boost confidence and also uplift moods. So why not raise a confident child and give her the foundation for positive thoughts?

You can find positive affirmations written on post its in my office or in one of my journals, similar to Gabriel Union in ‘Being Mary Jane‘. Most of my affirmations begin with “I am”, which is considered one of the most powerful set of words. Therefore, whatever follows “I am” starts the creation of it.

Today, I’m sharing a list of 20 Positive affirmations to tell yourself
