Affirmation Cards
Because of the way we are built with our ancient brain constantly on duty to protect us from risk, our minds tend to look for the negative in life as a protection mechanism from dangers that no longer exist. But because of this, we flood our minds with defeatist thoughts, triggering stress and overwhelm, when what we actually need to do is train our brains to re-focus on the positives and uplifting potentials of life. With that, I have created a set of positive affirmation cards that you can print and have available when you need to cleanse your mind with positivity. Just repeat the affirmations out loud with confidence and close your eyes visualize the statements in your mind as if they were true in your life now. These are a game changer!

Journal
Sometimes that fastest way to get out of your head is to write down what it is that is causing you the stress. Your brain holds onto thoughts for you that it thinks you need. So when you write down the thoughts that are constantly circling in your mind, it can now rest re-assured in knowing that you have them available to you without having to hold on to them.

This shifts your focus to a new challenge, one that can be fun but also that can set you up for future success. I have created a journal that you can download with 55 different writing prompts to set you up for success HERE.
