Hello everybody and welcome to the mindful kind.

I'm your host, Rachel Cable, and I'm here to share insights into my mindfulness journey

and inspire you to create your own.

Each week, this podcast will bring fresh and exciting news about mindfulness,

from my personal experiences to useful tools and different

mindful techniques.

Hello and welcome to episode 125 of the Mindful Kind podcast. I hope you're having a wonderful day and that you're

ready to learn more about affirmations. In this episode, I'm going to share what affirmations

are, how to formulate your own personal affirmations, how to use an affirmation during meditation,

and in the next episode I'll share some simple tips for incorporating affirmations

into your everyday life. First, I just wanted to remind you that over on my Instagram, I've been

sharing mini mindfulness and meditation sessions and you can rewatch them anytime by going to my

profile page and opening up my Instagram highlight videos. I've shared tips for a loving

kindness meditation, mindful walking, a simple breathing technique and an affirmation practice,

and I'm planning to share more. You can find me on Instagram at Rachel K-B-B-L-K-A-L-E.

Okay, let's dive into the episode all about affirmations.

An affirmation is a conscious thought which tends to be positive and powerful and

aims to support you in some way.

For example, if I was getting ready for an interview, a great affirmation might be, I am ready for great success or I believe in my own confidence and sense of self-worth.

Using affirmations can be a great way of tapping into your strengths, focusing on the good in life, uplifting yourself and creating your own more positive reality.

In the instance of going into an interview, if you're using positive and encouraging affirmations

about being confident and ready, that can actually help you appear more confident.
