Do affirmations actually help, or is it just positive thinking?

Used honestly, an affirmation is not magic and it is not toxic positivity. It interrupts the shame spiral that says you are failing and offers something truer to hold instead. If a line feels untrue today, say it anyway; that is how belief is slowly rebuilt.
