7 Things to Try When Affirmations Just Aren't Working for You
In the vast universe of self-help and personal development, affirmations have emerged as a shining star.
Everywhere we look, we’re told to repeat, and the mind will believe. And for so many people, they do work!
Positive affirmations can help rewire negative thought patterns and boost confidence.
However, as with any tool, there is a ceiling as to how much they can truly help. While affirmations can offer a beacon of hope to many, there are many moments or circumstances where they might just fall short.
So, what can you do?
Why don’t affirmations always work?
In this article, we explore why this might be the case and what you can do instead.
One Positive Action
Try a new hobby!
It’s the weekend, you’re supposed to be relaxing, so why not try out a new hobby!
Trying a new hobby can expand your horizons while exposing you to something new and fun, think of it as a mini-adventure for your mind! Whether it’s picking up a paintbrush, learning a few chords on the guitar, or even trying to bake your first loaf of bread, it doesn’t have to be perfect or serious… in fact, it’s quite a bit more fun if it’s not!
Embrace being awful at something new, the fun is in the exploration and the freedom to be a beginner.
Exploring a new hobby isn’t just about the activity itself; it’s about the fresh perspective it can bring. Trying your hand at something different shakes up your routine and encourages your brain to think in new ways. It also allows you to reconnect with a sense of curiosity and wonder, just like when you were a kid. Even if you don’t stick with the hobby long-term, those moments spent immersed in something new can be invigorating and provide a much-needed mental break.
Who knows? You might discover a hidden talent or a passion you didn’t know you had. So, go on—give it a shot and see where this little adventure takes you!
