Positive Affirmation Embroidery

LET THE MESSAGE SINK IN

Positive affirmations, which are brief and encouraging statements, have been shown to offer significant mental health benefits. Regularly practicing positive affirmations can help reduce stress and anxiety by promoting a more optimistic outlook on life. This practice enhances self-esteem and self-worth, as affirmations encourage individuals to focus on their strengths and capabilities rather than their limitations. By reinforcing positive self-talk, affirmations can also improve resilience, making it easier to cope with challenges and setbacks. Moreover, they can contribute to a greater sense of overall well-being and happiness, as repeated positive affirmations can rewire the brain to think more positively, fostering a healthier mental state.

‘‘I noticed how therapeutic macramé was when my mind didn’t wonder - I learned later that this is a state of mindfulness. It was rewarding to see myself make something beautiful that I thought would be beyond my comprehension. Ilke is more of a mentor than a teacher.”
