Self care affirmations for the Summer

Self Care affirmations for the Summer

Affirmations are a powerful tools for encouraging and reminding ourselves of our worth - I used to think that affirmations were words you needed to read aloud to yourself in the mirror until your firmly believed them. In all honesty I couldn't think of anything less awkward 😶 That moment when you stand and address yourself and realise that even in your own company, with no one else around, your voice is no where to be found! If you have ever had a moment like this, I am here to tell you that you are not alone.

If you were to ask someone to tell you something they don't like about themselves, I can guarantee you they wouldn't have to think too hard (and could probably come up with a couple of answers all at once). If you were to ask someone to say something good or something positive... well that's a little more tricky! So it's no wonder repeating a affirmation feels uncomfortable... and that is because negative self talk is much more natural. Our brains are hard wired to over analyse and be critical. What doesn't come naturally is speaking kindly to ourselves.

So let's change to narrative...

I have created a small selection of Self Care affirmations for you to use this Summer. You don't need to say them aloud to affirm them. You don't need to chant them, or shout them from the roof tops. All you need to do is save them, scribble them down, re-read them now and again and allow them to quietly sink in. Sticky notes are a great way of putting them in your eye line so they are visible. Alternatively you can save this blog post to your favourites in your toolbar ( especially if you like my accompanying illustrations), or scroll to the bottom of this blog post for a freebie x

I hope they help. I hope they act as daily reminders. And I hope them empower and encourage you over the Summer to be a little kinder to yourself!
