    #7 Positive Affirmations for Health and Wellbeing

    In today’s episode we are doing things a little differently. I have recorded these affirmations for you to download and come back to daily.  You will be reprogramming your mind with health affirmations to help shift your mindset to embrace self belief, kindness and confidence.  Through repetition of  affirmations and mantras you can create new neural pathways in your brain.  You will build new positive thought patterns and break any negative patterns.  Research suggests that self-affirmations can be helpful in  decreasing stress (Sherman, et al 2009 and Critcher and Dunning, 2015) to increasing physical activity (Cooke, et al 2014) and eating more healthily.  Listen daily to these affirmations. Ideally first thing in the morning before the chaos of the day ensues or last thing at night before you sleep. If you like these affirmations please share them with friends and family If you are an ADHD Woman and looking for 1:1 support with healthy eating, nutrition and improving your relationship with food check out my 12 week 1:1 programme here.
