Neuroscience and positive psychology tells us that happiness is a SKILL – and like any skill, it’s something we can boost and build with practice. Think of your brain as a muscle that can be sculpted and trained with intentional work and exercises. Affirmations are basically a form of mental training. Every time you repeat an affirmation, it’s like completing a rep. One way to create more happiness in your life, and to enhance your emotional well-being, is to work with affirmations specific to generating happiness from within. Just remember that consistency is KEY! Physical transformation takes dedication. You don’t go to the gym once and expect instant results. It’s the same thing with mental and emotional transformation! Give it time, consistency, and you WILL see the results you’re after.
