What is your coping statement? When life overwhelms you, use positive self-talk as your super power to make positive changes in your life. Apply positive statements or affirmations to your life every day. A successful life requires positive self talk, use of true knowledge, skills, time, effort, determination, perseverance and the patience to wait for a bountiful harvest coming from seeds you have sown over your life.
Use affirmations as a guide throughout life, they will help to sustain you in your life’s journey. Use affirmations by reading them over and over as part of your daily inner conversation. Read positive affirmations in the morning; they will help to direct your path. Read them again to get through the day. Read them in the evening and at night to put your mind to rest. Positive affirmations should become routine in your life. Repetition reinforces affirmations and lasting behavioral changes. Make affirmations an acquired habit that occurs automatically. Let affirmations instill happiness, peace and joy in your life.

Celebrating 10th year edition of book, 21 Life Skills Affirmations For Powerful Living
As it was 10 years ago, so it is today, we are working on changing out self talk as a culture. The power to achieve anything in life is directly related to what you tell yourself. Life and death is in your tongue. Your self-talk allows you to act independently & to assume responsibility for your actions, goals & desires.
Positive self talk has changed the lives of many individuals, it has become a domino effect when one person changes, a family changes, a community changes and it can effect the world we live in. According to the Journal of Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, affirmations can restore self-confidence by allowing individuals to reflect on sources of self-worth.
