You often hear people say, "If you're told something often enough, you will start to believe it". There is much truth in this statement.
Affirmations work like this. Every day, if you tell yourself something positive about yourself, you should start to believe it, and when you believe something, it becomes real.
Affirmations will help you to feel good about yourself, and will affirm your ability to complete the Detox Programme. As you say them, you should give them positive energy, feel good about saying them, and smile! They are completely personal, and no one needs to hear them or know that you say them.
Ideally, they should be positive & kept short. During the Detox, the sort of thing you may wish to affirm could be:
* I am cleaning my body.
* I am feeling energetic.
* I deserve to feel happy about my body.
* I am working towards a clean & healthy body.
Below is a list of other affirmations to try:
