Affirmations for when you don’t feel like doing them

You struggle with affirmations because either you are in a place where you're feeling so low that the idea of saying kind things about yourself just feels really uncomfortable, or perhaps you've tried affirmations, but you don't actually believe the affirmations you're saying. This is a really great reframe that I've used in those times of my life to help me ease into affirmations without it feeling so icky. I want you to think about affirmations during this time of your life and as a bridge. So rather than saying affirmations of what you want to believe and them not really feeling true, you're going to take an affirmation of something that you want to believe about yourself and you're going to add in front of that a sentence like, I'm working on believing that, or I'm working on thinking that.

So let's say I want to feel good in my body, but saying I feel good in my body just does not feel true. And it just feels like, why would I say that over and over again? The affirmation I'm going to say is, I'm working on feeling good in my body, and that feels true. And the more I start to say that, the more I build a bridge for me to have readiness to say the next affirmation, which is, I feel good in my body. So I want you to make a list of affirmations that you would like to be able to say out loud and believe, but don't already.

And then I want you to, in the beginning, add something that's along the lines of I'm working on believing or I am practicing feeling or something that I am trying to do is. And try and make a bridge for yourself with these affirmations and see how that goes.
