Why morning affirmations are so powerful

Affirmations are powerful at any time of day, but this is especially true in the morning. When you make a statement about the kind of day you’re going to have before intrusive or self-sabotaging thoughts get the chance to trickle in, you’re taking control of your day and giving yourself the opportunity to get it off to a healthy start. 

Any nutritionist will tell you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, because it sets you up for the whole day in terms of your energy levels and the food choices you’ll make in the next 14 or so hours. This holds true for affirmations, too: The energy you put out in the morning will set you up for your thought patterns and emotions for the whole day. It’s such a simple practice that takes almost no time, yet it can make a world of difference. Do your best to take advantage of it!
