About VOS's Affirmations

In a world full of constant challenges and ever-increasing doubts, sometimes a person loses his own value and potential. We find ourselves trapped in a constant cycle of negative thoughts and self-limiting beliefs, until eventually we believe that we deserve nothing and are incapable of achieving anything. And it is even more daunting when these beliefs eventually become our reality. But what if there was a simple tool that could help our mind break free from the chains of these self-doubts and open the door to a new reality of positivity and self-confidence? And that is why VOS brings you affirmations.

What are affirmations?

Affirmations are more than just words, they are the building blocks of your reality. These positive statements about yourself or the world around you have the incredible power to reshape your thoughts, change your mind-set, and reshape the way you look at the world. Because there is no one truth about what is really happening, and that is why it is important how you perceive and deal with reality. At VOS, we believe that affirmations can help you find a healthy self-esteem and achieve your goals.

The science behind

Did you know that we tend to unconsciously adapt our behavior to the outcomes we expect? It's true! In psychology, we call this self-fulfilling prophecy. If you harbor the belief that something will not work out, your subconscious mind will unintentionally direct you to that outcome. But here's the good news: affirmations can change this pattern and point you in the direction of more positive thinking, and therefore more positive outcomes.

Affirmations are like psychic chargers designed to spark your belief in your own abilities. By incorporating affirmations into your daily routine, you can support the creation and maintenance of healthy habits, motivate yourself to take crucial steps toward your goals, and tune into your values and desires. Affirmations have also been found to improve problem-solving skills, especially when you find yourself under pressure.

Positive self-talk

We understand that at first it may feel strange or even unnatural to speak words of kindness and support to yourself. But this will improve with time and you will develop a more positive attitude towards yourself.
