Various branches of the medical community all agree that positive thinking has great power over the mind. Even the spiritual and scientific communities are in agreement with this statement. So, using positive affirmation in your life is useful to women.

What are Positive Affirmations?

A positive affirmation is a statement you can use to replace a commonly held negative statement. For example, if you're always saying, "I feel fat," then a good positive affirmation to replace this sentiment might be, "I am comfortable with my body and am the perfect weight for me."
