Emotions and Health - Affirmations

Affirmations are "self-talk" statements.  These are statements which we tell ourselves on every aspect of life and are so powerful - just because we are the only ones who we listen to. 

When structured correctly positive affirmations can have a great influence on your thoughts and your mindset.  This can increase your enthusiasm, motivate you to achieve your goals and provide you with surplus resource of mental energy as these prepare your mind for what you want to achieve.
