I recently was put on the spot to explain affirmations in super simple terms to my younger teenage cousin. I wanted to share this explanation with you because I think when something is explained in a very concise, direct way, we understand it more and we remember it.
I had the Affirmation Babe podcast playing in my car (yes, I listen to the episodes too!) when my friend’s daughter jumped in the front seat next to me.
She saw my face on the display screen and said, “I didn’t know you had a podcast. What are affirmations?”
Immediately I thought, how in the world do I quickly explain what affirmations are to a young person who has never heard of them before?!
This is how I explained it;
“Have you ever been around someone who talks negatively all the time, complains about their life, never has much good to say, and that person seems to always have crappy things & happen to them over and over again?”
“Yeah”
“Well, affirmations are basically the opposite of that. Affirmations are positive words and positive thoughts that help people see more good in their life and help them experience a happier life.”
“I get it now. Cool!”
And that was it!
🤷♀️ pretty simple.. just as affirmations should be! They are the simplest tool to help you create a great life. And they are NOT magic (although it may feel like it sometimes 😉). Affirmations help you step into resonance with what already IS. They help you focus in on the areas you want to expand.
If you want more of a “deep dive” into affirmations, check out THIS and THIS post!
Would you like more affirmation content explained? Send me a DM on @missashleydiana on IG & lmk.
Lots of LOVE to you, Ashley. 💜
