Empower Your Mind: The Importance of Affirmations in Daily Life
Written on
Chapter 1: The Magic of Quotes
I have a deep appreciation for impactful quotes—those motivational and uplifting phrases that resonate deeply. I've previously discussed my fondness for quotes in various writings, such as:
- Is It Acceptable to Not Be OK? — A Discussion on Helpful Advice vs. Empty Words
- 15 Quotes for Enhanced Connection — Words to Reflect Upon When Feeling Disconnected
- 8 Quotes to Cultivate Gratitude and Connection — Insights and Inspiration from Thought Leaders
- 15 Timeless Quotes from James Dean — Wisdom from a Soulful Icon
As evident, my love for quotes runs deep. Yet, while I find them uplifting in the moment, they often don’t linger with me long after I encounter them. Sure, they may evoke a smile or a fleeting sense of inspiration, but they rarely become a lasting part of my daily mindset.
Recently, I've been tuning into a new running podcast, titled Choose Strong, hosted by ultra runner Sally McRae and her husband Eddie. It feels as if you're having a heartfelt conversation with close friends. Although the podcast primarily focuses on running, Sally's insights are universally applicable, making it a fantastic listen. Their tagline—"Strong Body, Strong Mind, Strong Love"—encompasses various dimensions of life.
At the end of each episode, Sally offers this powerful reminder:
"Remember to choose strong in all that you do."
This simple phrase has become my new mantra. It's easy to recall and has proven to be immensely helpful during my runs. On challenging days, when fatigue sets in, I remind myself to "choose strong," which fuels my determination to finish with intention.
Currently, "choose strong" serves as my affirmation—a guiding principle during tough moments or while tackling daily tasks. Whenever I feel tempted to give up or postpone responsibilities, I remember this powerful reminder, encouraging me to persevere and make choices that align with my best self.
I’m sharing this mantra with the hope that it resonates with you as profoundly as it has with me.
Now, I’m curious to know:
Do you have a personal mantra or affirmation that inspires you when you need motivation or a boost of confidence?
