Affirmations for personal development of social skills, empathy, and more

Empowered Hypnosis has so many great affirmations, complete with binaural beats (best to wear headphones to make it most effective). Whether you want to stop being so hypercritical, improve your social skills, develop empathy, or become a better listener, there are so many options available here. 

It took me a very embarrassingly long time to understand how affirmations work. I think the media tends to frame them as a silly thing, in the same way, self-help books are mocked (which is a real shame). Suffering from major depression, anxiety that sent me to the hospital, and a general negative view of myself and my life, I tried affirmations for YEARS before they started working for me, mainly because I still didn’t believe them (also probably because my patterns were so deeply ingrained that it took a lot of chipping away to finally get back in touch with my true self). Multiple times a day, I would say to myself, “I love myself, I feel terrific, I am confident, I am safe, I am supported” but I still didn’t actually believe any of these statements. I hated myself, I felt terrible, I had zero confidence, I never felt safe, and I never felt supported. It was rough. 

The shift happened for me relatively recently, about a year and a half ago, and suddenly affirmations became something that I look forward to every day. I say them on my morning walk, in the shower, while I drive, I write them in my journal. I feel vibrant and luminous. 

But, sometimes I need some deep work. That’s where binaural beats along with guided hypnosis and affirmations come in handy. Sometimes we just need to let everything go and focus only on the words in order to resonate at that vibration. It takes practice, but you can get there. I have had so many incredible experiences doing affirmations. There have even been times when I cried when listening to them, it was like a wave of release, realizing how much of a blockage those negative beliefs and perspectives caused within me.
