Affirmations To Combat Negative Core Beliefs

Affirmations are an important recovery tool. They are powerful messages that confirm our worth.

Identify negative beliefs: Begin by identifying the negative core beliefs and shame that you want to address. Reflect on the thoughts and beliefs that hold you back or contribute to your struggles. Awareness is the first step toward change.

Challenge negative beliefs: Once you’ve identified negative beliefs, question their validity. Are they based on evidence, or are they distorted perceptions? Challenge these beliefs by seeking evidence to the contrary and considering alternative perspectives.

Use present tense and positive language: As you create affirmations, use the present tense and word them as if they are already true. This helps to reprogram your subconscious mind and reinforce positive beliefs. For example, say “I am becoming stronger every day” instead of “I will be strong someday.

Repeat affirmations consistently: Practice your affirmations regularly, ideally daily. Say them out loud or write them down, and repeat them with conviction and belief. Consistency and repetition help to reinforce the positive messages and gradually rewire your thought patterns.

Seek support: It can be beneficial to seek support from a therapist, counsellor, or support group. They can provide guidance, help you process underlying issues, and offer feedback on your affirmations.
