Many people believe in the power of affirmations. An affirmation is simply a statement that you repeat to yourself, either out loud or in your head, to affect change in your life. For example, someone who wants to lose weight might affirm, “I am thin and beautiful.”

Affirmations are often used in conjunction with other self-help techniques, such as visualization or meditation. The idea is that by repeating positive statements about yourself, you can change your beliefs and ultimately your behavior.
