Definition:

An affirmation is an expression that is either written down, spoken (outloud or silently), or chanted. An affirmation creates wellness by bringing new thought patterns and positive changes into your present condition. The key rule in creating an affirmation statement is to keep the focus in the now (I am), not in the future (I will) tense.
