20 Body-Positive Affirmations to Help You Feel Your Best

We can all benefit from a little more positivity in our lives, and using positive affirmations is an easy way to give your mind a little boost. Psychologist Dr. Amy Vigliotti says, "Affirmations have a tremendous payoff. If they haven't worked for you before, don't give up yet! Picture yourself like a beautiful plant and affirmations become the water, sunlight, and soil that help you thrive. As long as you practice them consistently, you won't wilt - in fact, you will grow into your best self." Isn't that a cute analogy? It may feel weird or corny to say these things to yourself, but trust us - you'll feel better afterward!
