Harnessing Affirmations for a Positive Life: Insights from Jennifer Medwin
By feeling empowered that you can make positive choices for yourself. For sure, that's right, and some of this might seem like a huge undertaking. It would be a great one because it has such broad application to our career and our family and our marriage, or whatever it is that we're facing in life, that just recognition that we are enough, we're doing enough, we're good enough.
Picture this: you're navigating the choppy waters of divorce and feeling overwhelmed. What if there was a way to bring more positivity and control into your life? In this episode of 'Starting Over Stronger', host Annie Allen sits down with fellow Certified Divorce Coach Jennifer Medwin to unpack the transformative power of positive affirmations. This isn't just about repeating feel-good phrases; it's about reshaping your mindset and reclaiming your well-being.
Jennifer breaks down what positive affirmations are and how they can be used daily to foster empowerment, love, better health, and an overall sense of well-being. She explains that these affirmations help you become the author of your own story, enabling you to make positive choices even in the face of life's challenges. A key takeaway from the episode is the GLAD technique, which stands for Grateful, Learned, Acknowledge, and Do.
This method helps you stay present and focus on the positives in your life. Jennifer also delves into habit stacking, a strategy to seamlessly integrate affirmations into your daily routine. The conversation touches on the importance of setting realistic goals and using empowering language. Instead of focusing on what you can't do, Jennifer encourages framing your affirmations around what you can achieve. This shift in perspective can be a game-changer in overcoming self-judgment and building awareness.
One size doesn't fit all, though. Both Annie and Jennifer stress that what works for one person might not work for another. The key is to find what resonates with you and stick with it. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice for anyone looking to inject more positivity into their life, especially during or after a divorce. So why not give it a listen and start your journey toward a more empowered, loving, and healthy you?
