and @werenotreallystrangers can definitely help you with that.

If you’re currently looking for a simple way to improve yourself, this method named positive self-affirmation might be something that worth a try. Basically, positive self-affirmation helps us to improve ourselves by believing in our own potential to do something great. In other words, positive self-affirmation is actually a proven method of self-improvement which is the quest to make ourselves better in any and every facet of life.

Affirmation itself is a positive reminder or statement that can be used to encourage and motivate ourselves or others. Meanwhile, positive self-affirmation is an affirmation in which people convince themselves of something they perhaps don’t believe about themselves yet. It is similar to the manifestation and law of attraction.

According to a brain function specialist, Dr. Arlene Taylor, affirmations are proven methods of self-improvement because of their ability to rewire our brains. Much like exercise, they raise the level of feel-good hormones and push our brains to form new clusters of “positive thought” neurons.

Moreover, practice this method is quite easy, we can start it with make a list of what we’ve always thought of as our negative qualities, then write an affirmation on the positive aspect of our self-judgment, and speak the affirmation out loud for about two minutes three times a day, morning, midday, and evening.

Since the method is quite simple, we can easily practice it by reading motivational positive quotes on Instagram and TikTok accounts like @werenotreallystrangers. You can find a bunch of proper words and expressions to validate your feelings. The quotes also portray in aesthetically pleasing and unique media.

To sum up, we need to remember to encourage ourselves even though it’s usually a lot easier to affirm others than it is ourselves. Be it a job promotion, good grades, or even having feelings towards a crush reciprocated, many have faith that their thoughts and energy can create their reality by doing the positive self-affirmation. So, what are you waiting for? If still think about this method until you read this line, it is absolutely a sign for you to try it out. Good luck!
