It\u2019s easy to make fun of affirmations. For me, it always reminds me of the Saturday Night Live sketches with Stuart Smalley where he says, \u201cI\u2019m good enough. I\u2019m smart enough. And doggone it, people like me.\u201d That\u2019s why I always hesitated to learn about them, or maybe it\u2019s because of my dislike of \u201cpositive thinking\u201d and cognitive behavioral therapy. Whatever the reason, when given the chance to review \u201cFearless: 27 Affirmations to Change Your Life\u201d by Mama Rose, I decided it was time to give affirmations a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Mama Rose, \u201cAffirmations are statements that we say to ourselves on purpose to affirm the parts of our identity that we would like to make stronger.\u201d \u201cFearless\u201d details the author\u2019s own struggles and then discovery of affirmations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps what makes \u201cFearless\u201d stand out is the work Mama Rose suggests putting into the affirmations. The author explains concepts such as identity, energy, emotional octaves, frequencies, and more. The book discusses multiple ways to journal, which is great for the journaling adverse, such as myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each affirmation is a chance to learn more about yourself and evolve. Working with these affirmations is not just some fluffy, Saturday Night Live. It is WORK. It is taking a long look at yourself and finding honesty. \u201cFearless\u201d cannot replace a professional therapist but using it in tandem would probably be amazing. And for someone looking to learn more about themselves, it\u2019s a great tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
