What is an affirmation?
- An affirmation is something encouraging that we can tell ourselves (and others).
- The title of the NOLA Reader book, I Am Every Good Thing, is an example of an affirmation. There are many other affirmations throughout the book, such as “I am a leader,” and “I’m a difference maker."
- Think about who you are. What makes you you? What do you notice about yourself that makes you feel great?
