When you’re feeling depressed, it can be hard to motivate yourself to do anything, let alone repeat positive affirmations. But studies have shown that using affirmations can actually help to improve your mood and reduce symptoms of depression.

Repeating positive statements about yourself, such as “I am worthy of love and respect” or “I am capable of achieving my goals,” can help to counter the negative thoughts and self-doubt that often accompany depression. Affirmations can also help you to focus on the positive aspects of your life and redirect your attention away from negative thoughts and feelings.
