I’ve never really been a fan of affirmations. Even when I was a practicing Art Therapist, they were not included in my counselor toolkit. Lately though, I’m starting to experience the connection between language, and cognition. Mantras serve as our method for retraining the brain. When we repeat phrases of positivity and meaning we are actually molding our thoughts.
Not convinced? Read on for a list of affirmations to motivate your creative mind.
Here are some affirmations that can help uplift your creative spirit:
- My creativity flows effortlessly and naturally.
- I trust my intuition and allow it to guide my creative process.
- I am filled with boundless inspiration and creativity.
- I am open to new ideas and possibilities that spark my creativity.
- My creative talents and abilities are unique and valuable.
- I embrace my mistakes and see them as opportunities for growth and learning.
- I am deserving of success and recognition for my creative work.
- I make time for my creative passions and prioritize them in my life.
- I am grateful for the abundance of creativity in my life.
- I am confident in my ability to create something beautiful and meaningful.
As you explore your creativity and self-discovery, I recommend keeping affirmation number six close to heart: I embrace my mistakes and see them as opportunities for growth and learning. If you follow my instagram, you know I see mistakes as happy accidents. Errors are unavoidable, so you might as well prepare your mind to embrace them.
Say It Like You Mean It
Finally, why not incorporate these affirmations in your morning routine?- I typically practice while brushing my teeth:-). Positive self-talk may help combat feelings of inferiority, fear and self-doubt. Who knows where a little boost in self confidence will lead you.
Lastly, remember to say these affirmations with conviction and belief in yourself. Consistently repeating these positive statements can help reprogram your subconscious mind and reinforce a positive and confident mindset towards your creative endeavors.
Happy creating!
