Like most things in life that are worthwhile, self improvement involves stepping out of your comfort zone. That’s what I’m trying to do with my 30-day positive affirmations experiment.
For the longest time when I thought about positive affirmations, I had a crazy image of Stuart Smalley from Saturday Night Live —>.
For those of you who don’t know, Stuart Smalley was a character on SNL created and played by comedian Al Franken. He was a non-licensed self-help therapist who coined several funny phrases.
- “That’s just stinkin’ thinkin!”
- “You’re should-ing all over yourself.”
- “Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt!”
- “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.”
So anyway, that was my previous view of positive affirmations. But the more I read about self improvement, the more I found stories of how positive affirmations can change lives.
In this article I’ll share with you how I am aiming to use positive affirmations to overcome feelings of depression, stop procrastinating, battle the fear of failure, and have better focus in my online business.
I’ll also provide you with some resources to help you experiment with your own positive affirmations, and some examples (including my own) to get you started.
