10 affirmations to shift your mindset and feel sexy and more confident in your skin

By Angel 

Hope you enjoyed the long Easter break and had a lot of fun! We went to all the art exhibitions possible, met up with all the friends we could meet up with, and ate all the delicious food we could find. Yum! 🤤

By now I haven't been able to exercise properly for a month (if not more). First I had that nasty cold, and now I'm trying to recover after a bioenergetics workshop caused me a diaphragm muscle spasm. I'm literally learning how to breathe again (which is actually rather spiritual). Can't wait to be my hyper active running around self again, but meanwhile,

I feel that, as we're waking up from the winter and start setting goals for the summer, it would be great to remind ourselves to do that from a place of LOVE. Our bodies got us this far. They deserve our love and appreciation and not just a list of demands!

Affirmations as a way to change the way you see and live your life  

Affirmations are a great coaching and self-help tool – they literally help shift our mindset and achieve our goals while making us feel happier and more confident. Positive statements that you repeat to yourself can change your thinking and help you focus on the positive aspects of your life, including your sexual life. 

When we have negative thought patterns and focus on what we don’t have or can’t do right now, it’s easy to fall into a negative spiral. But when we use affirmations, we can create new neural connections in our brain that reinforce positive thoughts and behaviours.

Affirmations can help reframe our perspective. They change the way we interpret life situations. Sometimes when someone says a compliment about our appearance, we might consider it as insincere as we don’t see ourselves in a positive light, because maybe we want to feel and look different. Affirmations can help us start to see compliments as genuine and feel more confident in our appearance. 

Affirmations can help improve your mental health

There is growing evidence that using affirmations can have a positive impact on mental health. A study published in “Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience” * found that using self-affirmation techniques can reduce stress and improve cognitive function.

Another study published in “Clinical Psychology Review” found that positive affirmations can be effective in treating depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. According to the study, affirmations can help reframe negative thoughts and improve self-esteem, which can lead to better mental health outcomes.

How to use your sexy affirmations effectively

To get the most out of affirmations,you need to know how to use them effectively. Here are some tips to rewire your brain for positivity:

1. Choose affirmations that resonate with you and feel true to your experience. Rewrite or come up with your own ones, whatever feels right to you right now. 
2. Repeat your affirmations daily, either out loud or in your head. They only work if you repeat them, do it daily and also when you’re not feeling secure about something or need to feel more confident. 
3. Use visual reminders, such as sticky notes or phone wallpaper, to help you remember your affirmations throughout the day.
4. Practice gratitude along with your affirmations to cultivate a more positive mindset.
5. Be patient and persistent. It may take time for affirmations to have an impact, but with consistent practice, you can start to see real changes in how you think and feel.

So here are 10 affirmations to shift your mindset and help yourself feel s3xy and more confident in your skin and in your body:

♡ I am beautiful the way I am.

♡ I deserve to feel sexy and confident in my own skin.

♡ My body is unique and special, and it deserves love and care.

♡ I am worthy of pleasure and joy in my life, including sexual pleasure.

♡ I embrace my sensuality and allow myself to explore it in healthy and safe ways.

♡ My sexuality is a natural and beautiful part of who I am.

 ♡ I am grateful to have my body, I am proud of it and I celebrate it.

 ♡ I choose to let go of any negative thoughts or beliefs about my body and embrace my sexuality.

 ♡ I trust my instincts and my desires, and I honour them with confidence and respect.

 ♡ I am a sensual being and I enjoy expressing myself through touch, movement, and intimacy.

Repetition is a key factor in changing the brain. When we repeat our affirmations, we activate the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making, attention, and self-awareness. The more we repeat our affirmations, the easier it becomes for our brain to access positive thoughts and feelings in the future.

So say these to yourself every day. Print them out, or get someone to print them out for you on a fancy board on etsy. Your attitude towards life and pleasure will shift – when you set the goal, your mind makes it happen!
