In one of my most recent posts “How to Be a Better Person Through Real Self-Care“, I talk a little about how affirmations need to be part of my real self-care routine. In truth, I haven’t been doing affirmations or even little daily reminders all that much. Why? Well, in part I think it’s because I still find affirmations a little corny but also because I don’t understand fully how to do them so they work and mean something to me.

While I haven’t fully embraced the wonderful world of affirmations, I do talk to myself all day. And sometimes when I talk to myself, I’m not saying the nicest shit. In fact, sometimes I’m pretty awful and terrible in my head, and that’s not something I want to keep doing.
