1. What are Affirmations? Affirmations are positive statements you repeat to yourself to replace negative thoughts and boost your confidence. They are typically framed in the present tense, focusing on desired outcomes or qualities you want to acquire, such as "I am confident" or “I am strong” or "I am capable of achieving my goals.“ Regularly practicing affirmations can help reprogram your mind, boost self-esteem, and foster a more positive mindset, ultimately supporting personal growth and well-being. What are Weekly challenges in the Five Minute Journal? Weekly challenges in the Five Minute Journal are designed to inspire personal growth and well-being by thinking about what matters most to you. These challenges might include activities like practicing random acts of kindness, spending time in nature, trying a new hobby, or writing a thank-you note to someone. Its like trying to appreciate the little things that bring joy to you. Each challenge encourages/pushes you to try new things by stepping out of your comfort zone, reflecting on your experiences, and thus cultivating a positive mindset. “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” - Martin Luther King, Junior.
