Why Practice Affirmations in October?

If there’s a lot on your plate this month, you should still make self-care and positive affirmations a priority. Here’s why.

As the year winds down, there’s no better time for self-reflection and soul searching. October affirmations can nudge you to consider your current needs and affirm whatever it is you need to feel your best.

We often overlook our needs, unaware of the fact that they change throughout the year! When you ask yourself what your needs are, and you pair positive affirmations to address them, this is the perfect way to get some self-care in…especially if you’re in a time crunch!

For example, maybe you recognize that you need to be more compassionate and gentle with yourself. Make October your month to challenge your inner critic! You can gear your affirmations toward positive self-talk that counters the negative language your inner critic has been feeding you.

How to Use Affirmations Effectively

With affirmations, you only get out what you put in. They can’t change your mindset overnight, so it’s important to make practicing affirmations a consistent habit if you want to see true change in your mindset and self-talk.

If you want to actually get the most out of your October affirmations, these tips are your best friend!

Go into affirmations with the right mindset – now, I know you’re here because you aren’t exactly experiencing “the right mindset” (that is, a healthy and positive one.) That’s okay! What matters is your mindset about the effectiveness of affirmations and what they can do for you. Approach them with an open mind and an optimistic outlook, believing that they will, in fact, improve your mental well-being.
It’s all about YOU! – Make your affirmations personal! No two people will have the same needs, so ask yourself what you need to hear most right now. Choose the affirmations that will guide your month based on those needs!
The more specific, the more effective – do you think a generic statement like “I am happy” is going to have a big impact? Probably not. When you use more specific affirmations like “I am happy with where I am at in this chapter of my life, knowing I’m on track to reach my goals,” your brain can more truthfully envision feeling that way.
Repetition is a must – I can’t stress enough how necessary it is to practice your affirmations consistently, ideally on a daily basis. Without repetition, your brain will not get enough feedback to form new neural pathways (and science confirms that this is the way affirmations improve your self-talk).

Following these tips will help you develop an effective affirmations practice–one that continues well beyond October!
