Negative thoughts run through the subconscious mind like a tape recorder on repeat. We are usually unaware of them because we aren’t consciously thinking about them, but they still have an impact on our mood and how we interact with the world. Affirmations for mindfulness not only help us reprogram our subconscious with positive thoughts, they are a double-edged sword that also helps us return to the present moment.
Daily affirmations are positive phrases repeated throughout daily life to help cultivate a positive mindset. Mindfulness practices like mindful affirmations are powerful tool that can help create clarity of mind and inner peace. Daily affirmations are often labeled as positive mantras and categorized as self love or self-care, but they are much more than that when examined closely.
While this may seem like a usual self care routine, empirical studies have shown that affirmations have a number of benefits. Key psychological theories have led to the development of self-affirmation theory that suggests when people affirm their personal values, the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), the part of the brain associated with self-awareness, activity in the vmPFC increases.
In a study by psychologist Dr. Fadel Zeidan, people who were new to mindfulness meditation were divided into two groups. The first group was asked to simply sit with their eyes closed and focus on their breath, while the second group was asked to repeat a personal affirmation such as “I am a good person” or “I am capable.” The results showed that the group who repeated affirmations showed increased activity in the areas of the brain associated with happiness, positive emotions, and self-awareness.
The habit of positive thinking creates a sense of self-integrity, positive valuation, and a growth mindset. Bringing your full presence and attention to everyday tasks can create more mindful moments, that can then lead to a mindful day. Combined with using affirmations for mindfulness, these mindful moments can help you live a more fulfilling life.
