Your success or failure in anything is determined by your programming – what you accept from others and what you say to yourself.
Being positive can be difficult, especially in the world we live in today. Whether we notice it or not, teenagers and young adults bear the brunt of the situation.
On the outside, a teen or young adult may appear to be fine, but on the inside, they may be dealing with some very serious and life-changing issues.
Having said that, many teenagers simply do not want to or do not feel comfortable talking to their parents. However, encouraging your teen to use positive affirmations can be beneficial.
What are Affirmations?
Let me explain what an affirmation is if you don’t know what it is. There’s nothing fancy or fussy about it; just positive statements that inspire change in your life. As you can see, these can range from simple truths to statements of empowerment.
How to Use Affirmations for Teens
I’ll show you how to use these affirmations (as well as some of my favorite affirmations for teens), but it’s important to understand that it’s okay if you or your teen doesn’t believe positive affirmations at first.
To get the most out of them, repeat the affirmation 3-5 times per day, at least twice per day. It’s normal for your teen to be reluctant to participate at first. As a mother, you can speak these life-giving positive thoughts over your children until they develop the habit on their own.
