“You are what you think.” It’s a common phrase used in our everyday lives, but what does it actually look like in practice?The power of thoughts is immeasurable and therefore we need to develop a positive, resilient mindset. Affirmations can be used for all areas of life including improving self confidence and creating positive changes in your career. They are positive statements phrased in the present tense that declare what you want to be true about yourself or your life, as if it were already true. They help reprogram our thinking patterns to challenge and overcome self-sabotaging thoughts.
