What Is An Affirmation?
Affirmations are positive statements that are used to train your brain to believe exactly what you tell it. Too often, if you are like me, you self-sabotage with negative thoughts and frustrations while laying in bed at night thinking about your day.
With positive affirmations, you retrain your brain! Just like when you exercise to train and strengthen your body, positive affirmations train and strengthen your mind.
When they are repeated over time, your brain is retrained with new thinking patterns and you begin to believe new things and behave differently. Thus, with bedtime affirmations, your bedtime routine becomes less frustrating and more peaceful.
(I’m still working on this personal development skill, by the way.)
Any area of your life where you want to see positive change, you can use positive affirmations. They are generally expressed as *I* statements… “I am calm and at peace with my productivity today.”
When you use positive affirmations to replace negative, troublesome, or frustrating thoughts, you are making space for what you want your brain to believe. Over time, your mindset will change. Your behaviors will change.
Bedtime affirmations for good sleep will help you make restful sleep a priority for your health and wellbeing.
How to Use Affirmations
You say affirmations aloud to yourself on a regular basis, preferably everyday. You should have a regular time of the day when you do them, and a quite place that is designated for your affirmations.
With night time affirmations, you should say them close to bedtime to help with falling asleep. You’ll free your mind from the troubles of the day and have happy thoughts before bed.
Be sure to focus, visualize, and believe in what you are saying with each affirmation.
Don’t do them all at one time. Choose 1-5 affirmations that resonate with you and say them every single night until you find your body is better able to relax and your mind is able to shut off.
Then you can choose new affirmations, modify what you are saying, or keep saying the same ones. It’s about your personal development and wellbeing so you DO what’s best for YOU.
It takes time. It’s not going to happen in one night. Be patient with yourself.
Final Thoughts: Affirmations for Good Sleep
Getting a good night’s sleep rejuvenates and refreshes your mind, body, and soul. Affirmations for good sleep can be very beneficial!
Once you have retrained your brain to prepare for a restful sleep, you will wake up every morning ready to conquer each new day.
I hope these positive affirmations for sleep will help you sleep better and get the rest you deserve.
Again, do sleep affirmations work? Yes, calming affirmations for good sleep work! JUST BELIEVE!
Let me know how it goes for you! I am working to retrain my brain to sleep better too so I’ll be sharing more on this topic in the future, too!
