Affirmations

Affirmations are positive statements that can help you challenge and overcome self-sabotaging and negative thoughts (sexual assault survivors have A LOT of those).

When you repeat them often, and believe in them, you can start to make positive changes in your life. 

​

When affirmations are combined with breath work, they become even more impactful.
