What are affirmations?
Affirmations are positive statements that, when repeated over a period of time, can help you overcome difficulties, as well as negative or unhelpful thoughts. It takes daily practice and motivation to change your mindset this way. However, once you do you will be able to feel the difference in how you appreciate and view yourself.
Finally, February!
The year’s shortest month is packed with energy and action as it began with a new moon the other night, and you should still be able to feel its influence today! New moons are often seen as the start of a new chapter and renewal. Let yourself start fresh this February, and embrace what comes your way. Also, this new moon occurred within the final hours of January making it a rare “black moon”, or when a second new moon occurs exactly at the start of a new month. This kind of moon only occurs every 28 months - so be sure to soak up its magical energy!
What else does February have in store for us? (Hint: It’s a lot!)
