Positive Thinking Affirmations for Women

By Deanna Collins

To change your life, you must change your thinking. Unfortunately that is easier said than done. Those in the medical, scientific and religious communities can agree that there is power in positive thinking. The mind is a powerful tool to discipline the body. Positive thinking affirmations become a useful way to reach that end.

What are Positive Affirmations?

It seems easy to throw out negative statements about ourselves. "I am fat," is a cruel and negative statement that doesn't inspire much confidence in a life. Positive affirmations are statements that dispel negative beliefs. Instead say, "I like myself like I am and am comfortable with my weight." That sounds much better and makes you feel that way too.

A positive affirmation gives you a way to fight against negative thinking. When you think in positive ways it is possible to change your life one step at a time.
