Congratulations to our fellow Toastmaster, Adrian Taylor-Scott, on a great speech and...

Positive affirmations. I speak life over myself. I am calm, I am confident, I allow love and joy to flow through my life daily. These are just some of the affirmations that I speak personally every day. Mindset is everything. The power of life and death are in the tongue.

As a man thinketh, so is he. Tonight, I will help you identify some positive affirmations. Affirmations help change your mindset to improve your life. Affirmations are statements that are short phrases that are positive, present tense, and short phrases. Affirmations help change your mindset.

When you have a changed mindset, you are able to view the world, the glass of life as half full versus half empty. That's great to have. Just three things. You can write them, speak them, or think them. And it really helps if you say them with passion and conviction, like you really believe it.

And you can say them several times as I do. For every one negative comment, it takes. three positive comments to cancel that Just imagine all of the negative comments that we hear on a daily basis. It can be the news, it can be social media, it could be your spouse, your friends, your loved ones, it can be your coworkers or your boss.

You can write your own affirmations. They don't have to be long or complicated. Kiss, keep it short and simple, but always keep it uplifting. Affirmations have been found to decrease stress and increase academic achievement. They also help people to improve their resilience.
