You are not broken and you do not need fixed. ![]()
You just need to learn self love, self acceptance and an opportunity to grow and learn from what’s happened in your life. ![]()
I used to let it eat me up inside and it would create so much anxiety, so much self doubt in myself. I never believed I was good enough or that I would ever succeed at anything, which is why I think I continued to do learning, to prove to myself that I was capable. I’d believed I was stupid. ![]()
You see no matter what you tell yourself, your subconscious mind will believe it. If you tell yourself you are “broken”, it’ll believe you. If you tell yourself “you’re stupid” it’ll believe you. If you tell yourself you are anxious, it’ll believe you. If you tell yourself you are who you are because of your past, guess what!! ![]()
I am who I am because of my past. Because I was not going to let it beat me down, not going to let it make me stay unhappy, insecure, afraid, depressed. No way. I am who I am because I learnt to take the things life has thrown at me and turn them around. I saw the teachings in them. ![]()
Life doesn’t have to stay crap, you can turn it around. You can change how you feel about the things that happened in your life. ![]()
When you’re ready to do that get in touch. ![]()

I am…![]()
The start of many affirmations begins with “I am…”. ![]()
Affirmations aren’t about you pretending that everything is fine, they’re actually a nice gentle way to help guide your nervous system into a safer state. ![]()
When anxiety shows up it’s because your mind is scanning for a threat. The affirmations help to interrupt that thought pattern, It’s like when you leave the room and forget what you were going to say or do, so breaks that negative loop. What they also do is send a calmer new message. ![]()
Your subconscious mind takes everything literally so when you start to use affirmations and tell yourself that you are safe, calm, amazing, whatever positive you want to use to replace the negative self talk with, it will accept it as part of who you are. ![]()
Statements that follow “I am” are powerful. But you shouldn’t force them. Start them slowly breathe in between each one so that your body can catch up with the words. If you say “I am calm and safe” then say it 3 times but emphasise a different word each time. For example ![]()
“I AM calm and safe”
“I am CALM and safe”
“I am calm AND safe” ![]()
The way we say it has different meanings. ![]()
Every morning I tap the side of my hand (because in silent counselling this point helps release feelings of holding onto negative thoughts and emotions) and repeat a few affirmations whilst I’m in the shower to help set me up for the day. You can use them at anytime throughout the day as well. ![]()
So when you use affirmations regularly you’re building a feeling of safely. ![]()
It’s not about trying to convince yourself of something unrealistic, it’s about reminding your body that it doesn’t need to stay on high alert. ![]()
