The way that we speak to ourselves, the voice in our head, matters.
From my experience, I have said some unthinkably heart-wrenching things to myself in my head, comments that I could not imagine saying to another human being, such as "in your meaningless existence", "you will never be enough", "this will never get better".
In the words of Tony Robbins, "Where focus goes, energy flows". This is why it is so critically important that we speak to ourselves from a place of love and empowerment. Power affirmations are not supposed to be unattainable, or overwhelming, but rather uplifting and fulfilling. I have written 25 below (one for each year I have been around the sun) that you are more than welcome to adopt or use as motivation to create affirmations that are in alignment with you.
