Our minds play an active role in our actions and it is actions that create habits- if we are on autopilot we may not even realise that our behaviour and our thoughts could be affecting our lives in a negative way.
To help us to train our minds not to play a negative loop in the background of our day we can take time out to make a list of all the positive things in our lives.\u00a0Or create a vision board with positive affirmations cutting and pasting pictures and words that inspire positive thinking and mindful livi<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

My Activity<\/h2>

Affirmations are like prayers; we say them to ourselves in order to feel positive, change our mental attitudes, and get smarter.<\/p>

Below are some examples of affirmations that express ideas in self-love, gratitude and positive thinking. Cut out the designs and stick them into your mindfulness diary or use them as inspiration for your own designs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
