For the Magic Heart

Can you imagine what life would be like if we all spent a little time looking inwards, focusing on ourselves and celebrating who we are? It sounds like an ideal world – but it can be achieved through having daily affirmations. Affirmations are encouraging phrases or words that focus us to create positive changes and attitudes within our lives. In this blog post, I'm going to show you how they work and how they can become part of your self-care routine.

The power of positive thinking is an important tool in achieving success and happiness. It helps us to focus our minds, think more clearly and develop the confidence necessary to make our dreams come true. By actively focusing on the good things in life, we can create a more optimistic outlook for ourselves which will help us become more successful in all aspects of our lives.

Creating your own affirmations is a great way to empower yourself and practice self-love. To begin, identify the areas of your life you would like to improve or feel more confident about. When you have identified these areas, start writing sentences that describe how you want to feel about them. Make sure these statements are realistic and achievable, such as 'I am confident in my abilities' or 'I will do my best every day'. Allow yourself to be creative and use vivid language that resonates with you - imagine speaking the affirmations out loud or even recording them on your phone. Additionally, make sure each sentence is written in the present tense, as this will help to create a sense of immediacy and make it seem more attainable. It's also wise to phrase your affirmations positively instead of negatively; avoid words like 'not' or 'can't'. Finally, don't forget to remind yourself of these affirmations regularly either by repeating them out loud or writing them down - this will help ingrain them in your mind so they become second nature over time.

Every month in our subscription box, we send out a new affirmation card for our monthly topic. Our subscribers tell us they love hanging them up on their mirrors, or at their desk at work! Do you use daily affirmations?

When you’re feeling stretched too thin, tapped out, or unenthused, it might be time to do a quick life audit. Are you putting yourself first? Or are everyone else’s needs and wants coming before your own? It can start with good intentions, for sure. Many of us were taught that selflessness is a virtue. Unfortunately, that’s turned us into a bunch of people-pleasers who are in desperate need of recovery. 

The problem with people-pleasing is it turns into really unpleasant things inside of us:
