An affirmation is a positive thought or idea that you focus on in order to achieve a desired result. Affirmations are statements of truth that can reinforce the truth about ourselves and dispel any negative beliefs. There is creative power in the spoken word. Affirmations can help us to use that creative energy to improve our lives.\u00a0<br \/><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: var( --e-global-color-secondary );\">I believe that we are connected to a power greater than ourselves.
