Why I love Affirmations

I was skeptical as fuck when I started with affirmations. I found an old pack of Louise Hay Positive Thought cards in a charity shop and believe me, I needed some positive thoughts.

Mid divorce and life and career so far from where I’d imagined, I thought, “Why not? What have I got to loose?”

Things started to change.

These little words had a big impact on my life.

My life began to change in ways I wanted. I began to change in ways that I wanted. I started to think more positively and so I practiced them more, sitting in front of a mirror each evening before I went to bed. As I did, I noticed things that bothered me before had less of an effect. I started to listen to my intuition. I learned to trust in myself. Believe in who I was.

But the changes weren’t just happening within me, they were happening outside too…

Things got better and better.

I affirmed I’d find a new client. I did. I affirmed I’d grow in abundance. I did. I affirmed I could put my needs first. I did. Whatever I said, just kind of happened.

So much happened, and so many changes occurred and then one night, I had all these words rolling round in my head at 3am, and I just started writing them in the notes on my iPhone and before I knew it I had 52, a whole card deck. The Empowered Woman affirmation card deck was born.

These words have gotten me through difficult times and times when I didn’t believe in myself, and now I want to share these words with you.

As a female founder, at first I found running my own business actually meant I was working more and doing things I didn’t want to. I was making everyone else’s voice louder than my own.

I was often wracked with self doubt, imposter syndrome, shit scared of being visible or judged and was frankly underselling myself, my experience and my ideas.

Since practicing affirmations I have strengthened my connection to who I am, my intuition and I have grown unbelievably in confidence.

My approach to work has changed dramatically. I love the clients I have and I’m deeply fulfilled by the work that I do.

This is just the beginning.

I know I am an Empowered Woman, and I know you are too. You just need to believe it.

Because it all begins with belief.

And I believe in you x
