Affirmations are short, positive statements that can help shift your mindset, focus your thoughts, and nurture self-belief. They are a simple yet powerful tool to support your healing journey and overall well-being. While affirmations do not replace therapy, medical treatment, or professional guidance, they can complement these approaches by helping you stay centered, reduce stress, and reinforce positive mental habits.

The self-concept is the idea we have of ourselves – the sum of our beliefs, thoughts, values, and feelings about ourselves. It includes how we see ourselves (self-image), how we believe others see us (social image), and how we would like to be (ideal image).
